Regular daycare costs just £50 a day. This includes homemade meals, regular hot drinks and snacks, homemade puddings and cakes, activities and entertainment, and all your care needs will be catered for. Make the most of us and reduce your bills. Daycare is often cheaper than paying for home care, especially when you add food bills and heating.
A Warm and Welcoming Home from Home
During a recent interview for the Lincolnshire Care Awards, they asked what motivated me to work in this sector. The answer was simple: I want to provide a good quality care home where people keep their independence and are happier than living alone in isolation.
We offer good quality food, freedom to come and go as you like, trips to local amenities, and the residents are involved in every aspect of the care home, including the interviewing process. People should not lose their independence when they move into a care home.
Ultimately, we aim to provide a homely environment with companionship, good food, 24/7 care, and fun daily activities.
Enjoy the Taste of Home With Locally Sourced Meals
We believe that good food is an essential part of a happy and healthy life. That's why we take pride in serving delicious home-cooked meals made with locally sourced produce. Taste the difference and enjoy the comforts of home while receiving first-class care.

From the moment your loved ones move in, comes for respite care, or joins us for day care, they start forming friendships. This leads to companionship and brings structure back to their day.
Independent Living
At the Chestnuts, we encourage residents to engage with the local community, visit local shops or invite friends and family over for tea and homemade cake whenever they like.
