About St Clare's Care Home
St Clare's is a residential care home in Lincoln supporting older people, including many living with dementia, and adults living with a physical disability. We support some younger residents too, and we welcome respite guests. We try to run a household rather than an institution. Mornings are flexible, meals are proper meals, and residents decide how they spend their time, with company when they want it and quiet when they do not. Staff learn people's histories properly, because you cannot look after someone well if you only know them as a list of needs. Dementia care takes up a great deal of our attention. We keep routines familiar, the building calm and the staffing consistent. We follow the person rather than correcting them, and when someone is distressed we look for the reason behind it, whether that is pain, noise, tiredness or something nobody has spotted yet. Families usually know what settles a person, so we ask them. For residents living with a physical disability, we look carefully at seating, equipment and how the building works for them, because independence usually depends on practical things being right. Respite guests receive exactly what permanent residents receive. If you are looking at homes in Lincoln, please arrange to come and visit. An ordinary weekday will tell you more than anything we could write here.
