Pilgrims' Friend Society
The Evington Home
Fulfilled living in later life
Part of the Pilgrims’ Friend Society network of Christian care homes and housing schemes
About Evington
Evington is a 30-bed residential care home in Leicester.
We offer residential care for older people, including those who are living with dementia. We offer both permanent and respite care, and care at the end of life.
The Registered Care Manager, who is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and Business Manager are responsible for the dedicated team of over 58 staff members.
Person-centred care
It is important to us that those who live with us lead fulfilled lives through the excellent care and services we provide. Before someone comes to live with us, we meet with them to complete a full and comprehensive care needs assessment to identify what the individual care needs, interests, and choices are and to ensure we can meet them.
The Way We Care
Our concern is for the welfare of the whole person – emotional, physical, mental, social, and spiritual.
The Way We Care is Pilgrims’ Friend Society’s bespoke approach to ensuring that older people have all that they need to flourish in their later years, especially as their physical needs increase. We are committed to seeing the whole person – the history, the experiences, the joys and the sorrows of life, and to knowing who the important people are who make up the bundle of each person’s living.
The Way We Care is grounded in our Christian faith and draws inspiration from the Bible. Every part of what The Way We Care looks like in the daily lives of our care homes is rooted in how the Bible tells us to treat and support others around us.
About Pilgrims’ Friend Society
Rooted in our Christian faith, at Pilgrims’ Friend Society we believe that as well as providing secure, comfortable homes and professional care, older people can be supported and encouraged to spend the later part of their lives contributing to the world around them, growing and enjoying fulfilling lives.
We have been supporting older people to flourish for more than 200 years, since a group of Christians concerned about “the aged and infirm Christian poor” established the Aged Pilgrim’s Friend
Society in 1807. We started off by providing pensions and support through volunteer visits before developing housing and care schemes for older Christians.
Today we continue that legacy by running residential care homes and independent living housing schemes around the UK, providing environments in which older people are comfortable and secure whether they need care or are living independently.
We are committed to developing the work to support fulfilled living in later years through our Growth and Renewal Programme which is working to see brand new state-of-the-art homes being built to support Christian care, and ensuring our existing buildings are continually improved and maintained.
What we believe
Pilgrims’ Friend Society is a Christian charity, rooted in the Bible. We believe that the teachings of the Bible are our sole and final authority.
We believe that there is one God in three persons, Father Son and Holy Spirit.
The good news of the gospel is that, although men and women are sinners,
God has taken the initiative to save people from every tribe, tongue and nation. We believe that God will bring about the redemption of all things.
God sent Jesus Christ, His Son, to be our Savior. Jesus became fully human and, at the same time, remained fully God.
Jesus came to buy us back from sin and death by living a perfect life, having no sin, and dying in our place on the cross.
But God’s grace did not stop there. When Jesus ascended to heaven, the Holy Spirit was given by God to continue His work on earth.
It is this Holy Spirit who gives us new birth and brings us repentance and faith in the Son. When the Spirit has begun such a good work in someone, He will bring it to completion.
At the time appointed by God, Jesus will return to earth in glory. He will raise the dead and judge all people. He will banish those not known to Him and He will take His people to be with Him in eternal glory in the new heavens and earth.
