About Red House

Red House is a residential care home in Gloucestershire, providing support for adults with learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorder and mental health needs. Details of the CQC's most recent findings on the service are set out below.

Red House is a residential care home supporting five adults with learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorder and mental health needs, with capacity for up to eight residents. The service provides person-centred support designed to enable people to live meaningful lives with control, choice and independence.
