About Woodheyes
Woodheyes combines residential care for older people with private rooms, shared lounges and an active community life in Leicester. The home also supports residents living with dementia or sensory impairment, with spaces for both social time and quiet retreat.
Residents have furnished single rooms, with two rooms suitable for couples, and can bring personal furniture and belongings from home. Activities, performers, community projects and visits from local schools and nurseries add variety to the week. Two rooms suitable for couples is a practical detail for partners considering the setting together.

How much does Woodheyes cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Woodheyes 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.
