About Red House
Here at Red House, we provide residential care for a range of people in the heart of Cinderford, Gloucestershire. Our home supports older adults, younger adults, people living with a learning disability or autism, and those experiencing mental health difficulties. We also offer respite care for people who need a short break or additional support at certain points in their lives. We are proud to have been rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the effort our whole team puts into making Red House a place where people feel genuinely at home. That rating matters to us, but what matters more is that the people living here feel safe, respected, and listened to every single day. Care is not one size fits all, and we do not treat it that way. We take time to get to know each person, understanding their routines, preferences, and the things that bring them comfort or joy. Whether someone is with us long term or staying for a shorter period of respite, we want their time at Red House to feel settled and supported. Our team works hard to create an environment that is warm and welcoming without being clinical or impersonal. Cinderford is a close knit community, and we think that spirit comes through in the way we run the home. Families are always welcome, and we encourage people to stay connected to the people and places that matter to them. If you are looking for care for yourself or someone you love, we would be very happy to have a conversation and show you around. We understand that choosing a care home is a significant decision, and we want to make sure you have all the information you need to feel comfortable and confident in your choice.
