Joint Statement: Midlands Care and Vista Partnership Transition at New Wycliffe Care Home

We are pleased to announce the transition of the New Wycliffe Home to Midlands Care from Vista. This partnership represents a collaborative effort to uphold the highest standards of care provision for the residents and families within the home and community.

Stephen Payne, Director of Care and Services at Vista, expressed this sentiment, "We are proud to have been part of the New Wycliffe community and are confident that Midlands Care will carry forward our shared values of dignity, respect, and person-centred care."

Shyamal Raja, Managing Director of Midlands Care, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, with Vista stating, "This transition underscores our dedication to continue providing exemplary care and support to the elderly community in Leicestershire. We remain steadfast in our commitment to upholding the legacy of compassionate care at the New Wycliffe, ensuring a seamless transition for residents, staff, and their families”.

Our collaboration with Leicester City Council further solidifies our commitment to the community. Midlands Care recognises the importance of this partnership in ensuring access to essential services and resources for those in need.

As one of the oldest and largest local charities in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland, Vista has been dedicated to supporting individuals with sight loss. Midlands Care pledges to continue working closely with Vista and the community to ensure that provisions are in place to support sight loss within the New Wycliffe community.

We assure all stakeholders—staff, residents, families, and the wider community—that this transition will not compromise the quality of care provided. Midlands Care remains steadfast in our mission to provide exceptional care and support to those who need it most.

Together, with the support of Vista, Leicester City Council, and our dedicated team, we look forward to building upon the legacy of care at New Wycliffe and continuing to serve our community with compassion and excellence.
