Amber House

About Us

Amber House is a nursing home in Humberston, North East Lincolnshire, with registered nurses on duty alongside our support team. We care for older people with nursing needs, younger adults, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, and people working through difficulties with alcohol or drugs.

Having nursing on site means health needs can be met here rather than requiring somebody to move again when their condition changes. But the nursing exists to serve the life rather than the other way round. This is people's home and it should feel like one.

Where somebody is managing a mental health condition or working through difficulties with alcohol or drugs, consistency and an absence of judgement matter more than any technique. A good many people here have been let down before, and rebuilding that trust takes reliability and time rather than good intentions.

People arrange their own rooms, take part in the running of the house as far as they want to, and are supported to get out and to see family.

Respite stays are available. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we would be glad to show you round.
