About Red Court Care Community

Red Court Care Community is a nursing care home in Lincolnshire, offering round-the-clock support to residents who need it most. The team here understands how big a step it can be for families when a loved one moves into care, and they aim to make the transition as comfortable and familiar as possible. Lincolnshire's welcoming communities provide a warm backdrop for daily life at Red Court, where residents can feel settled and supported.

Red Court Care Community accommodates up to 49 people, including those living with dementia, physical disabilities and sensory impairments, across two ground-floor units. At inspection, 45 people were resident at the service.

Inspectors found significant concerns with safety management. Risk assessments lacked sufficient detail about people's individual needs, and the systems designed to safeguard people from neglect or poor care were not consistently applied by staff. Incidents and accidents were not always properly documented, and quality monitoring processes did not adequately review and analyse information in people's care plans to identify patterns or areas for improvement.
