About Rayleigh House

Rayleigh House is a residential care home in Skegness caring for older people who need support with everyday life, including residents living with dementia. We provide the practical daily help that makes comfortable living possible: assistance to wash and dress, medication managed properly and on time, meals cooked on the premises, help to move about safely and staff available at night. Beyond that we try not to organise people's lives for them. Residents decide when they get up, where they spend the day and who they want to see. Dementia care here depends on continuity. Familiar faces, a predictable rhythm and surroundings that stay where they are expected to be remove a good deal of anxiety, so we plan rotas accordingly and take time to learn about each resident's life from their family. Knowing that somebody spent years in a particular trade, or has always hated being fussed over, is genuinely useful information. Respite stays are available, whether to give a family carer a proper break or to help somebody regain confidence after illness or a hospital stay. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families across Lincolnshire are welcome to visit. Ring us and we will arrange a time to show you round.
