Originally built in 1829 for the Earl of Wilton and used as a base for hunting and socialising, Egerton Lodge was turned into a residential care home in 1987, caring for residents across 44 impressive en-suite bedrooms. In June 2023, the home went into administration and business operations were taken over by Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group.

Located in the sought-after Leicestershire Town of Melton Mowbray, the home is positioned next to Memorial Gardens on Wilton Road, a prominent location within the town centre close to the railway station.
