About Watermead Rose Care Home
Watermead Rose offers residential, nursing, respite, dementia and bariatric care for up to 80 residents. Its registered scope includes older people, younger adults and people with physical disabilities, with care focused on individual healthcare needs, wellbeing and safety.
The home combines spacious communal areas for socialising with smaller, quieter spaces for private time. The care team aims to help residents feel comfortable and heard, while families can discuss private payment, local authority funding or NHS Continuing Healthcare arrangements. The home’s service therefore covers both complex care needs and shorter respite placements, within an environment that includes residential and nursing provision.

Questions families ask
How much does Watermead Rose Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Watermead Rose Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Leicester council paid on average £1,306 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 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 Watermead Rose Care Home whether it takes residents funded by Leicester 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). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
