About Roborough House

Our team works with residents living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need short term support, giving families and carers a chance to rest while knowing their loved one is in safe hands. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family will ever make, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. Each person who comes to live with us, whether for a short stay or on a longer term basis, deserves to feel genuinely settled, respected, and heard. We try to get to know every resident as an individual, understanding their preferences, routines, and what matters most to them in daily life. Our nursing team is on hand around the clock, providing clinical support alongside the personal and emotional care that makes a real difference to someone's quality of life. We work closely with GPs, community health professionals, and families to make sure care plans reflect each person's changing needs. We are open about the fact that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in a "requires improvement" rating. We have taken that feedback seriously and have been working hard to address the areas highlighted. Improving the experience of our residents is our primary focus, and we are committed to making meaningful, lasting changes that staff, residents, and families can see and feel.
