The Swanholme Court and Eccleshare Court care homes in Lincoln have received good ratings from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) after recent inspections.

The care homes have been rated good in all areas, highlighting that staff were kind, caring and compassionate and supported people’s dignity and independence.

At Swanholme Court people were complimentary about the catering and food at the home, and inspectors noticed that kitchen staff understood people’s preferences.

At Ecclescare Court the inspectors mentioned the home’s well-being programme which includes activities such as making soup, movement to music, a pamper afternoon, games, a singing session, a cheese and wine evening and one to one talking time with the activity champions.
