The Redbourne Centre: Lincolnshire
The Redbourne Centre provides a therapeutic home set in the heart of the Lincolnshire countryside. Located in the peaceful village of Redbourne, just seven miles from Brigg and twenty miles from the city of Lincoln, our centre offers specialist rehabilitation and support for up to 13 individuals. We provide care for people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs, and other complex or comorbid conditions, all within a nurturing, safe, and homely environment.
Our experienced, nurse-led team delivers personalised care and support through collaborative, multidisciplinary working. We take a holistic approach that supports not only each individual’s physical health, but also their emotional wellbeing, independence, and sense of belonging. Residents are encouraged to set their own goals and are supported to work toward meaningful outcomes at a pace that respects their unique needs and aspirations. Dignity, autonomy, and personal choice are central to everything we do.
Support is always tailored to each person and evolves as they build resilience, develop new coping strategies, and gain greater self-reliance. Our work is underpinned by effective risk management and a strong focus on reducing behaviours that challenge, achieved through consistent, compassionate care and positive engagement. With structured therapeutic input, skill-building activities, and a focus on community integration, we help individuals strengthen their confidence and independence, whether that means learning new life skills or regaining those that have been lost.
We understand that quality of life is just as important as quality of care. That’s why we place such importance on making each day purposeful and engaging. Residents are supported to take part in recreational, social, and leisure activities that align with their interests, helping to create a sense of achievement, enjoyment, and connection.
In addition to long-term residential placements, The Redbourne Centre also offers a flexible and responsive respite care service. This includes day respite care for individuals living in the community who may benefit from structured daytime support in a safe, therapeutic setting. We also offer short-term respite stays to provide temporary relief for families and carers while ensuring continuity of care for their loved ones. For those who require a longer period of support, we offer long-term respite options tailored to individual needs, this may include transitional care or a trial period before a potential permanent placement.
Everyone accessing respite care at The Redbourne Centre receives the same high standard of support, therapeutic intervention, and person-centred planning as our full-time residents. Whether for planned breaks, emergency support, or transitional care, our respite services offer families peace of mind and individuals a stable, enriching environment that supports recovery, independence, and wellbeing.

Referrals Process for Professionals & Self Funders
To initiate a referral, please submit the following documentation via email to Referrals.Specialist@caretech-uk.com
- The individual’s most recent Care Act Needs Assessment
- Support Plan
- Relevant clinical or behavioural reports
- Any recent incident or behavioural analysis
- Additional documentation providing a comprehensive overview of the individual’s current needs
Upon receipt, the referral will be reviewed by the Registered Manager and the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). The MDT will determine the most appropriate professionals to carry out the assessment. Typically, two assessors from different disciplines (e.g., a nurse and a psychologist) will be assigned, particularly where the individual presents with complex clinical or psychological needs.
If the individual appears potentially suitable for the service, an assessment will be arranged. This may begin with an initial video consultation or a face-to-face meeting. We will liaise with the current placement to coordinate a suitable time for the assessment, ensuring key members of the existing care team are available to contribute.
Assessment Timelines:
- Standard assessments are conducted within 3 working days of receiving a complete referral.
- For urgent referrals requiring placement within 48 hours, please clearly indicate this in your initial contact to enable prioritised processing and assessment.
Following completion of the assessment, the full MDT will convene to evaluate the individual’s needs and determine suitability for placement. Where appropriate, further information may be requested, or an alternative service within the CareTech/Coveberry portfolio may be recommended.
The Service Manager or Business Development Manager will promptly inform the referrer of the MDT’s decision. If the individual is deemed suitable:
- A comprehensive Assessment Report and Care Summary will be provided within 3 working days
- A formal placement offer will be issued, including proposed costs and supporting documentation
To accept the offer, please confirm by email, including:
- Agreement to the proposed weekly cost
- Full invoicing details for all relevant funding bodies
If the referral is declined, the Service Manager or Business Development Manager will contact the referrer directly (via phone or email) with a clear rationale and, where appropriate, suggest alternative care pathways or services.
Post-Funding Agreement:
Once funding has been confirmed, we will coordinate any necessary discharge or transition planning and agree an admission date.
Urgent Referrals
We offer a fast-track admission pathway for individuals experiencing acute behavioural deterioration or cognitive decline requiring immediate intervention. For urgent referrals:
- Contact the Referrals Team directly
