About Lace Hill Manor Care Home

Lace Hill Manor Care Home brings professional nursing care to the heart of Buckinghamshire, offering families in the area a local option they can consider with confidence. The team here understands how important it is to find the right place for a loved one, and the home aims to provide a supportive, comfortable environment where residents feel genuinely valued. For families beginning this journey, knowing there is dedicated nursing care close to home can bring real peace of mind.

This care home provides personal and nursing care to up to 62 people in a purpose-built building spread over two floors. Each resident has their own room with en-suite facilities and can access various communal spaces including a cinema room, hairdressing salon, private dining room and café/bistro area.

Care plans are in place for each person, though inspectors found these were not always kept up to date and were difficult to follow due to multiple records being maintained. Records of fluid intake and repositioning did not consistently demonstrate that staff had carried out these interventions at the required intervals.
