The Willows Care Home, located in Shepshed, Loughborough, offers high-quality nursing and respite care for up to 60 residents. Acquired by 3AB Care in 2016, the care home is known for its personalised care and support for elderly people.
It fosters a comfortable, well-maintained environment with single rooms, some featuring ensuite facilities. Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms to create a familiar and homely space. Communal areas, such as dining rooms, sitting rooms, and wheelchair-friendly gardens, promote a social atmosphere, while secure outdoor spaces provide opportunities for fresh air and gentle exercise.

These include themed activities like movie nights, pub evenings, and pamper days, alongside daily pursuits such as crafts, board games, and excursions.
