About The Firs Residential Home

Nestled in the heart of Breaston, Derbyshire, The Firs Residential Home is housed in a beautifully preserved Victorian residence, first established in 1908. With its original architectural features, grand fireplaces, and elegant woodwork, our home carries the warmth of history, beautifully blended with modern comfort and care.

For over 30 years, The Firs has been more than a care home -  it’s a community. Our speciality lies in supporting adults living with dementia, alongside those with physical or mental health needs. But above all, every person here is a cherished individual, not just a resident. Our mission is to create an environment that feels like home - safe, welcoming, and full of companionship.

We’d be delighted to welcome you for a visit. To arrange this, please call 01332 872535 or complete our contact form, and we'll get back to you.

Our Philosophy: Care Rooted in Respect

At The Firs, we believe that dignity, choice, and connection are at the heart of excellent care.

Individualised Care Plans: No two people are the same. We tailor our care to meet personal needs, preferences, and life stories.
Comfort & Safety: We maintain high standards of cleanliness, accessibility, and support to give you and your loved ones peace of mind.
Companionship & Community: Life here is about meaningful connections. Whether through social activities, shared meals, or simple conversation, our residents and staff build a warm, supportive network.

A Legacy of Trust & Experience.
Our roots run deep. Starting more than three decades ago, The Firs has become a trusted name in residential care within our local community. Over the years, we’ve grown in expertise, but we’ve never lost our personal touch. Every new resident is welcomed into our extended family with compassion, care, and respect.
