About British Home & Hospital for Incurables

We are a nursing home in Lambeth providing nursing care for adults, including people with physical disabilities, and we also offer planned respite stays. Having qualified nurses on site at all hours means health needs can be watched and managed as they change rather than dealt with as emergencies, and it means we can support people whose needs are complex enough that many settings would turn them away. Where somebody has a physical disability, we agree with them how they want to be helped and how much time that genuinely takes, rather than how much time would be convenient. Alongside the clinical side, the people here are residents before they are patients. They decide how their own days go, keep their own things around them, and see family and friends whenever they want to. We should be honest about our inspection position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. The findings described real shortfalls and we accepted them rather than arguing. Since then our manager has tightened medicines practice and record keeping, strengthened training and supervision, and put regular internal checks in place so that we find problems ourselves. That work continues. If you are considering us, please visit, ask exactly what has changed, and talk to residents and families while you are here.
