About Thimbleby Court
Thimbleby Court is a nursing home in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, where qualified nurses are on duty at every hour. We care for older people whose health needs mean residential care or support at home is no longer enough, for people living with dementia, for adults with physical disabilities and for younger adults who need nursing support. We also offer respite stays, which often give a family who has been managing at home a proper period of rest. Nursing here covers medication, wound care, continence, nutrition, mobility and the monitoring of long term conditions, and we work alongside local health professionals so that changes are noticed early. The reason for doing that carefully is so that everything else about life can carry on as normal. Residents bring their own furniture, photographs and habits with them, and they keep their own opinions about how the day should go. People decide when to get up, where to sit, what to eat and whose company they want. Where somebody needs longer for personal care or for moving about, they get it. For residents living with dementia we keep the setting calm and the routine predictable, and we learn who a person has always been, which usually matters more than any technique when a day turns hard. Families are kept properly informed and are welcome whenever it suits them. If you are looking at nursing care in this part of Lincolnshire, please come and see us.
