About Us

We are a nursing home in Gainsborough, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, including younger adults, whose needs require qualified nursing alongside day to day support.

Nursing care in this setting is a particular kind of work. There are health needs that must be managed properly and without waiting: medication, pain, seizures, continence, difficulties with eating, drinking and moving, and the early signs of illness in people who may not be able to tell us something is wrong. Just as much, there is the question of how care is offered. How a person communicates, what they find intolerable, what helps them feel safe and what a change of routine does to them all matter as much as the clinical side, and we try to treat them as equally important.

People here have their own rooms and their own things, and we keep staffing as settled as we can, because familiar faces do more for somebody's wellbeing than almost anything else we could arrange. Respite stays are available as well as longer places.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We prefer to say so plainly. We are working through what the inspectors raised and are willing to go through the report with anyone considering us.

Please come and visit and ask us whatever you need to.
