About Devonshire Court
Devonshire Court provides residential care and residential dementia support for older people. Personal care, meals and activities form part of daily life, while a detailed assessment before admission helps the team understand a resident’s needs, preferences and concerns.
Families receive guidance through paperwork and the transition into care, with support available when a temporary respite stay becomes permanent. Residents can bring personal possessions and photographs, subject to safety checks, to make bedrooms more familiar. Activities coordinators help residents take part in suitable opportunities as needs change. The home offers residential dementia support alongside its core residential care service.

Questions families ask
How much does Devonshire Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Devonshire Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Leicestershire council paid on average £915 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Devonshire Court whether it takes residents funded by Leicestershire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
