A care home for older people as well as for people with physical disabilities, dementia and past or present alcohol dependency.

Tuxford Manor is a purpose-built care home in the town of Tuxford, Nottinghamshire. Our home has a superb reputation locally and we are proud to be part of the local community.

Facilities at Tuxford Manor include various lounges, a hair salon and our ever-popular café. Our reception café was recently refurbished, creating a relaxing area for residents to sit with their family and friends over a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

Outside, our home benefits from extensive gardens leading on to a large field to the rear of the home. An area of the field has been allocated for raised vegetable beds to enable green-fingered residents to enjoy growing their own fruit and vegetables.

We support our residents to continue with the daily activities and routines they would have done in their own home. Our residents particularly enjoy baking and preparing vegetables. Our care team also accompany residents to the local shop to buy their morning paper if they wish to do so. Entertainers visit our home regularly and we often welcome students from the Tuxford Academy as part of our active volunteer programme.

The Council's Homelessness Service provides advice, assistance and support to individuals and families who are homeless or likely to become homeless.

Our Shared Lives scheme, which is rated as Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, helps adults who need support to live more independently in the community and provides an alternative to residential care.

We need carers from all kinds of backgrounds to provide support in their home, drawing on their families, friends and neighbours to help some of our most isolated and vulnerable people to be part of a community.

A range of Shared Lives opportunities are available, all based in the carer’s home:

• long term live-in arrangement
• somewhere to stay for a short break
• somewhere to go for daytime support
• supporting a person to live independently or be part of their community 
• somewhere to stay while a person recovers after leaving hospital.

Shared Lives carers are paid depending on the level of support they provide.

We believe everyone should be able to live as independent a life as possible. We support individuals to make decisions about their lives while also encouraging them to respect the different views and needs other people have.

There are good relationships between staff, the people who live at Redbank House, family, friends and the wider community. We take part in local activities, such as bingo.

Some people have jobs delivering magazines, which provide opportunities to get to know local people. Other activities the residents currently enjoy is music, dance and art classes and we can access other courses depending on what people are interested in.

We encourage everyone to be involved in how our home is run by expressing their view at house meetings, making suggestions and completing questionnaires. Everyone has the opportunity to be involved in recruiting new staff, showing potential new employees around our home and asking them questions and people are encouraged to take on responsibilities such as answering the phone, asking visitors to sign in and sorting the post.
