Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The inspection rated this domain Good. The published report does not include specific detail about care plan quality, GP access arrangements, dementia training content, or food provision. The home is registered to support people with dementia and learning disabilities alongside nursing needs, which requires a broad range of staff competencies. No specific training records or care plan examples are referenced in the available text.Is this home caring?
The inspection rated this domain Good. No specific inspector observations of staff interactions, resident demeanour, or dignity practices are recorded in the published text. There are no quotes from residents or relatives about how they feel treated. Staff warmth and compassion are the two highest-weighted themes in our family review data (57.3% and 55.2% respectively), making this the most important domain for most families and the one with the least evidence here.Is the home responsive?
The inspection rated this domain Good. The published report does not record specific details about the activities programme, how the home tailors care to individuals, or how complaints are handled. The home supports a wide range of needs including dementia and learning disabilities, which requires responsive care planning at an individual level. No examples of individual engagement or activity provision are described in the available text.Is the home well-led?
The inspection rated this domain Good. A registered manager, Mrs Justyna Katarzyna Szewczyk, was in post at the time of inspection, alongside a nominated individual, Ms Anna Gretchen Selby. The home is operated by HC-One Limited, a large national provider. No specific detail about management visibility, staff culture, governance systems, or how the home responds to concerns is available in the published report.

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
Harley Grange Nursing Home received a Good rating across all five inspection domains, which is a positive baseline. However, the published inspection text provides very limited specific detail, so many scores reflect the rating itself rather than direct observations or testimony.
Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary
What families tell us
Families talk about the difference it makes when the same carers work with their relatives regularly — that sense of familiarity and continuity really matters. The home runs structured activities with dedicated staff, giving residents things to look forward to throughout the week.
What inspectors have recorded
The nursing team shows real clinical competence, whether they're managing patient transfers or answering families' questions about health conditions. Staff respond quickly when residents need help, and several families have praised how respectfully and calmly the team handles end-of-life care.
How it sits against good practice
It's worth arranging a visit to see how the team works and get a feel for the atmosphere yourself.
Worth a visit
Harley Grange Nursing Home, at 25 Elms Road in Leicester, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its most recent inspection in January 2022, with the report published in February 2022. The home is run by HC-One Limited and has a registered manager in post. It is registered to support people living with dementia, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities, as well as older and younger adults requiring nursing care. The main limitation of this report is that the published inspection text contains very little specific detail about what inspectors actually observed. There are no recorded quotes from residents or relatives, no direct observations of care interactions, and no specific examples of what makes this home Good rather than simply compliant. That does not mean the care is not good, but it does mean you need to see it for yourself. On your visit, watch how staff interact with residents in corridors and communal areas, ask to see the actual staffing rota from last week (not a template), and find out how many permanent staff are on the dementia unit after 10pm.
