About
Horsfall House is a not-for-profit charity running a 44-bed nursing home in Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire. It cares for people who are physically frail and for people living with dementia or serious memory problems, and it also offers palliative care, respite and short breaks. The building was planned around the needs of residents and their visitors, with the aim of making the move into care less stressful.
The home also runs a Day Centre, open Monday to Friday with a range of activities, and a Home Care service that helps people stay in their own homes, including a meals on wheels service in Minchinhampton.
The Care Quality Commission rates the home Requires Improvement overall, in a report published in 2023. Its key question ratings are Requires Improvement for safe and well-led, and Good for effective, caring and responsive.
