Named after the malting’s factory that once proudly stood in the Kedleston Road area of Derby, we established Vinegar House in 2007 under the business umbrella of BrownFox Quality Care Limited. We believe it to be important that people with mental ill health who have invariably spent lengthy periods in institutions are allowed to experience what may be perceived as normal living

practices and social outlets without undue pressure from potentially harmful influences that may be more prevalent in certain locations within a city environment. We wanted to create a small and friendly environment in which to live with a home from home feel for its residents having a strong focus on social integration. We wanted to avoid an institutional style of accommodation.
