How this list is ordered

Homes in Leicester are ordered by the MyCareCheck score, the average of the CQC's ratings for the five questions it asks at every inspection. Where two homes score the same, the better overall rating goes first.

Paying never changes a home's rating, score or place. Top places are only offered to homes rated Good or Outstanding and are always labelled.

Questions families ask

What should substance misuse care homes offer?

Residential support for substance misuse should have a clear treatment or recovery approach and strong links with health services. Confirm what the home can safely manage and what happens if needs escalate.

How many substance misuse care homes are there in Leicester?

12 substance misuse care homes in Leicester are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

How much does a care home cost in Leicester?

Leicester council paid on average £1,062 a week for residential care and £1,306 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £2,066 and £1,225. Across England the averages were £982 and £1,102 for people aged 65 and over. People who pay for their own care are often charged more, so ask each home for its weekly fee.
