About The Red House Nursing Home

The Red House Nursing Home brings nursing care to the heart of Buckinghamshire, offering families in the area a local option for their loved ones. The team there understands how much it means to find a place that feels calm and caring, and they aim to provide a setting where residents can feel at home. For families beginning this journey, it can help to know there is a dedicated nursing home within reach in this part of the country.

The Red House Nursing Home accommodates up to 32 people across three floors, providing nursing care. At the time of inspection, 26 people were living at the home.

Inspectors found that practices did not always keep people safe from avoidable harm. Safeguarding referrals had not always been made to the local authority when required, and significant events such as skin tears and a fractured thumb had not been notified to the CQC as required. The home carried out recruitment checks and used agency workers to cover staffing gaps.
