About Us

Keb House Residential Home is in Scunthorpe, and we provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia. We also offer respite stays.

We are a residential home, so our work is about daily living rather than nursing. Help with washing and dressing, support with medication, meals that people look forward to, assistance getting about safely, and company for those who want it. District nurses and local GPs come in when clinical input is needed, and we are quick to ask.

People usually arrive having found home increasingly hard going. The first few weeks are about settling, and we do not rush that. Rooms are personalised with people's own furniture and pictures, routines are learned rather than imposed, and families are welcome to be as involved as the person wants them to be.

Dementia care rests on familiarity more than anything else. Consistent staff, a predictable day and knowing something of a person's earlier life make far more difference than any specialist programme. Where someone is distressed, we look for the reason behind it.

Respite is available for family carers needing a break and for people recovering after illness or hospital.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather say so plainly. We know what was identified, there is work in hand, and we are happy to go through it with anyone considering the home. Please come and see Keb House for yourself and ask us whatever you need to.
