About Red Oaks
Red Oaks is a nursing home at Henfield in West Sussex. We care for older people whose needs include nursing, including many living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are part of what we do. Nursing on site means health needs are met by people who already know the person, which usually means problems are noticed sooner, and it means nobody has to move on because their condition has progressed. The part that takes deliberate effort is keeping the atmosphere domestic. Once a nursing home starts running to ward habits, residents stop being asked about their own day and visitors begin behaving like hospital visitors, so mealtimes, fresh air, prompt help and privacy are guarded on purpose. For residents with physical disabilities we plan around what a person can still do themselves rather than what is quickest for us. Independence surrendered for convenience is rarely returned. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are pleased with it and wary of what it can imply, since a rating covers a period rather than a promise. What keeps it true is the ordinary daily attention that earned it.
