A specialist mental health and rehabilitation home for adults
Rose House is a detached family home on a quiet, leafy road in Chislehurst, being carefully adapted into a small specialist home for adults with mental health and complex needs.
We open with six bedrooms, rising to seven. Keeping the home small means every resident is known well, support is built around the person, and the house feels like a home rather than a ward.
Rose House is run by NUNO Care, whose leadership has operated CQC-registered nursing homes since 2006, including specialist mental health care.
People come to Rose House when they need more than a standard placement can offer. Our model is built to stabilise, rebuild and move people forward, safely and at their own pace.
Every placement is staffed to its assessed needs, from shared support through to enhanced 1:1 or 2:1 where commissioned. Staffing is reviewed as the person progresses.
The home is led by a Nominated Individual who has operated CQC-registered nursing homes since 2006, with clinical oversight from a dual-qualified RN and RMN with over 30 years in care, and a Registered Manager with a mental health background.
Integrated support for mental health and substance misuse together: relapse prevention, harm reduction, and close links with community drug and alcohol services.
Person-centred care and recovery plans, positive risk-taking, daily living skills and a structured activities programme, all aimed at greater independence and a planned move-on.
De-escalation first, with full Mental Capacity Act and DoLS compliance, and restrictive practices kept to an absolute minimum and always reviewed.
Staff are trained in mental health, dual diagnosis, de-escalation, safeguarding and the Mental Capacity Act, with regular supervision, so residents see familiar faces.
Ernest began in care at 17, co-founding a family nursing home business in 2002, and has operated CQC-registered care homes since 2006, with a specialism in mental health care. Rose House brings that experience into a small, modern, specialist home.
Rose House runs on the Novecta care platform, built by care home operators and developed under the NHS DCB0129 clinical risk management standard with a named Clinical Safety Officer. Every note, medication and incident builds a live, evidenced picture of each person's care.
Mealtimes are shared around a large table in a bright, beautifully finished dining room, with leaded bay windows looking out over the front garden.
Generous shared spaces give residents real choice: a quiet corner to read, the lounge to watch a film together, or the garden room for activities.
A light-filled garden room set aside for structured sessions, therapeutic activities and one-to-one work.
The programme focuses on daily living skills, confidence and independence, a few steps from the garden.
The newly fitted kitchen is the hub of the home, with an island for residents to gather, prepare food and share mealtimes with staff.
It is ideal for rehabilitation: residents can practise cooking and planning meals with support, and the induction hob is a safer choice for building confidence.
Bedrooms are bright and generously sized, with soft mood lighting and space for residents to make the room their own.
Ahead of opening, the home is being adapted with wider doorways, a step-free accessible entrance and accessible bathrooms, including walk-in wet-room showers.
A large, private, fully fenced garden with a lawn, decked terrace and patio seating, lit in the evenings.
A covered, heated outdoor lounge includes a designated smoking area for residents. An accessible parking bay sits alongside the existing driveway, with electric vehicle charging for visitors and professionals.
Designed for accessibility from the front door to every floor, with wheelchair turning space throughout. Proposed layout, subject to planning. Tap a plan to see it full size.
Rose House is being converted from a six-bedroom family home into a specialist care home, with every upgrade chosen for safety, accessibility and clinical quality.
We welcome early conversations with commissioners, placement teams and families as we prepare to open.
