Residential Care for the Elderly Near Sleaford

Experience Compassionate Care in a Family-Run Environment

At The Chestnuts, we treat our residents like family. Our dedicated team provides personalised care services in a warm and welcoming setting. With our commitment to excellence, you can trust that your loved one will receive the highest quality of care and attention.

As a small family-run care home, we have the ability to offer environmental mastery. Moving into a care home is a scary prospect for most people. People associate care with loss of control, freedom, independence and dignity. People see it as an end step in their lives. We don’t believe this. When someone moves into The Chestnuts, they make new friends and have companionship, good food, valuable input, daily activities and freedom to live how they want to live.

Emergency Admissions

A lot of care homes will not accept emergency admissions. They require you to book a week or more in advance. However, we understand that life does not always run to plan.

We offer emergency same-day admissions seven days a week. We will do an assessment that day to ensure we can meet your loved ones' care needs, and then they can move in.

We can only offer this when we have a bedroom available so please get in touch with our team to check room availability.
