Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the May 2023 inspection. This covers training, care planning, healthcare access, and nutrition. The published text does not include specific observations about the content of care plans, how often they are reviewed, or the nature of dementia training the team has received. A Good rating indicates inspectors considered these areas satisfactory at the time of the visit.Is this home caring?
Inspectors rated the Caring domain as Good. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and whether residents are treated as individuals. The published inspection text does not include direct observations of staff interactions, quotes from residents or relatives, or specific examples of how dignity is upheld day to day. The Good rating reflects inspectors' overall judgement at the time of the visit.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the May 2023 inspection. Responsiveness covers whether the home tailors its care to individual needs, provides meaningful activities, and plans well for end of life. The published text does not detail the activity programme, describe how individual preferences are accommodated, or explain how end-of-life care is approached. A Good rating indicates inspectors were satisfied with responsiveness at the time of the visit.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Requires Improvement at the May 2023 inspection. This is the only domain that did not reach Good. The published text does not specify which governance or leadership issues were identified. The home's overall rating improved from Requires Improvement, which suggests progress was made in other areas, but leadership governance did not meet the threshold for Good at the time of the visit.

The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
Enderby Grange scores 72 out of 100. The home has improved from Requires Improvement to Good across four of its five domains, which is a meaningful positive shift. However, the Well-led domain remains Requires Improvement, and the published inspection text is too limited to confirm specific details across most themes.
Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary

Families speak warmly about how residents form genuine connections with the staff here. There's a sense of continuity in the care, with the same faces becoming familiar friends over time.

How it sits against good practice
Some homes impress with their facilities; Enderby Grange impresses with how well they get to know each resident.
Worth a visit
Enderby Grange, at Sparsis Gardens in Narborough, was rated Good overall at its inspection in May 2023. This is a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating, and inspectors found the home meeting the Good standard in Safety, Effectiveness, Caring, and Responsiveness. The home supports up to 40 adults, including people living with dementia, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities. The one area that did not reach Good is Well-led, which remains at Requires Improvement. This matters because leadership stability is one of the strongest predictors of quality over time, and the published inspection text does not provide enough detail to explain exactly what the concerns were. On a visit, ask to meet the manager in person, find out how long they have been in post, and ask what specific steps have been taken since the inspection to address the leadership concerns. The overall upward trend is encouraging, but the governance gap is worth probing carefully before you make a decision.
