About Redcote Residential Home

Redcote Residential Home is a care home in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, looking after older people who need support with everyday living. Our aim is a settled, ordinary household. Residents bring their own furniture and belongings, keep their own habits, choose how they spend the day and see visitors whenever suits them. Meals are planned around what people actually want to eat, and there is company for those who enjoy it and somewhere quiet for those who would rather have their own space. Support is agreed with each resident. We look at what somebody can still manage, what has become difficult and where help genuinely makes a difference, and we take care that assistance does not slide into doing things for people that they would rather do themselves. Independence is easy to erode by accident and hard to give back. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, whether for a planned family break or for support while someone regains confidence after illness or a spell in hospital. Relatives are welcome at any reasonable hour, and what they can tell us about the person is usually more useful than anything on a form. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round at a time that suits you and ask us anything you like.
