CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Run by Sanctuary Home Care Limited, Skelton Court is a residential care home in Leicester with 15 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Leicester has 25 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In January 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in June 2017, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 29% of ratings in Leicester are as old (how rating age varies by council).
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from April 2025. That is true of 95% of homes in Leicester. 53 other homes in Leicester share its tier, “Good”. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 12 of Sanctuary Home Care Limited’s 12 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
