About Bank House Residential Care Home

Bank House Residential Care Home brings together residential and dementia care in the heart of Lincolnshire, offering families a local option they can explore with confidence. The team there understands how significant this decision is, and the home aims to provide a comfortable, familiar environment where residents can feel truly at ease. For families in the area looking for thoughtful, dedicated care, Bank House is worth getting to know.

Bank House provides personal care to up to 33 older people and those living with dementia, with 23 residents at the time of inspection. However, inspectors found significant concerns regarding residents' autonomy and rights. People were not supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives, and staff did not consistently support them in the least restrictive way possible.

The service's policies and systems did not adequately support this practice. Additionally, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards were not in place for all residents who needed them, raising concerns about the protection of vulnerable individuals' rights and freedoms.
