About Island Place
Island Place provides residential and nursing care for older people, including those with physical, sensory or cognitive impairment, alongside respite care and support for younger adults with mental health issues or learning disabilities. The service is part of PrimeLife’s wider care provision.
Residents receive support in a comfortable setting where care is available 24 hours a day. PrimeLife describes homes tailored to individual needs, with nutritional meals, personal care and accommodation provided as part of daily support. Some homes use a nurse call system with sensors on beds, chairs, windows and doors to alert carers to unusual activity.

Questions families ask
Does PrimeLife use a nurse call system with room sensors?
Some PrimeLife homes use an exclusive nurse call system with sensors on beds, chairs, windows and doors that alert carers to unusual activity.
What support does PrimeLife provide for residents with dementia?
They provide activity plans including reminiscence, music, singing and animal therapy, alongside environments designed to support people with dementia.
How much does Island Place cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Island Place for its weekly fee. As a guide, Leicester council paid on average £1,062 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.
