About Tennyson Wharf
Tennyson Wharf is a residential care home in Lincoln supporting older people, including those living with dementia, and people with physical disabilities. Younger adults whose needs are best met in a residential setting are welcome too, and we offer respite stays. Our work is the ordinary business of a day done attentively. Helping somebody get up and dressed the way they prefer. Serving food worth sitting down to. Making sure there is company when it is wanted and quiet when it is not. Noticing quickly when a person is not themselves and doing something about it rather than waiting. For people living with dementia, familiarity carries most of the weight. Consistent faces, a predictable shape to the day, food and music from the right part of a life, and staff who neither hurry nor correct. We build around what somebody can still do rather than keeping a tally of what has gone. For people with a physical disability, the practical detail is what counts, from equipment that fits properly to respecting how a person prefers to be helped. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit on an ordinary day.
