About Redbourne
Redbourne is a nursing home near Gainsborough. We provide nursing care for adults, mainly younger adults, including people with a learning disability, autistic people and people managing a mental health condition. Respite stays are available alongside longer placements. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of that and wary of it, because the standard is far easier to reach than to hold and the surest way to lose it is to start quoting it at people. The work here asks for two things at once. Following somebody's health closely enough to catch problems early, which matters a great deal because physical health is so often neglected for people with a learning disability or a long standing mental health condition. And making sure the person has a life rather than a care regime, with things in the week they chose and look forward to. Where people do not use speech, we learn how each individual communicates. Pain and distress are frequently expressed through behaviour rather than words, and a team that reads those signs correctly prevents a great deal of avoidable suffering. Families and social workers considering a placement are very welcome to visit and ask us anything.
