About Florence House
Florence House is a nursing home in Lincoln, caring for older people and for adults whose health needs mean qualified nurses need to be on hand at any hour. That cover means changes are noticed early and managed here wherever possible rather than through repeated journeys to hospital. We support people managing mental health conditions, where patience and continuity count for a great deal, and younger adults, whose routines and interests we plan for in their own right rather than expecting them to fit into an older person's day. The common thread is that nursing care and ordinary life have to sit together. Clinical needs are met properly, but the day still belongs to the person living it. Respite care is available too, for people recovering after illness and for family carers who need a proper break. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather say so openly. Until we do, the fairest way to judge us is to visit, see how people here spend their day and ask the nurses and carers whatever you want to know.
