Review from Barry K (Son of Resident) published on 7 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have experience of care homes who talk about the care they provide but Stones Place actually deliver on their care.
My mum was on the decline after a stroke and her health was really worrying, weighing only 47kgs and not eating sufficiently or looking after herself in her own home with care visits.
From the initial assessment of my mum's needs in her own home, to the end of her respite care at Stones Place, my mum has been treated with absolute dignity and her health improvement has been so good. Mum has enjoyed the food and drinks and attention from all staff and residents who make her feel 'at home'.
Mum has improved mentally and is a lot brighter after the care she has been given and she has gained weight, although her short term memory is still not as it should be after the stroke.
The accommodation is comfortable, clean and bright and the staff not only provide excellent care for residents, but also treat visitors with a real warmth that makes you feel valued.

Excellent

Review from Christine Y (Niece of Resident) published on 24 February 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My relatives tell me she could not be in a better place!
I have noted: she is listened to (as are relatives!)
She is well fed and kept hydrated (meals are tasty and beautifully cooked - I have sampled them)
Her meds are administered on time in a respectful way.
Her room is clean, warm and well-maintained with a lovely aspect from her large window.
Communal rooms are bright and spacious, and the regular (daily) activities are stimulating and varied.

Staff are welcoming, kind and respectful.

Mum was in isolation, staff caring and supportive and kind to the residents and also great support to the family with their needs too! Xmas day was lovely and all the activities beforehand. Hard work for the staff but enjoyable for residents and the family. Made Xmas exciting for all plus my grandchildren, who are made welcome!

Review from Peter J (Son of Resident) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

At the age of 96, my mother finally took the step of going into care. From her first visit she felt that Stone's Place was right for her; it was superbly clean with wonderful facilities and the staff were most welcoming. Now, three months on, my mother has settled really well. She tells me that she cannot fault the home nor the staff - "it is like living in a hotel" she says!! The food is excellent and she takes part in most, if not all, the activities - within the home and out. From my point of view, I am delighted to see that my mother has totally immersed herself in her new environment. At 96 it cannot have been easy for her, but everything about Stone's Place has made her transition into care so much easier. So, well done to Emma, Bev and all the staff at Stone's Place, Lincoln. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Review from S G (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum has now been at Stones for 4 months. I had to find a care home very quickly after mum had been in hospital and it was looking likely that she would not be able to return to my home to live with me as she was needing a lot more care.
My first impression when I walked through the door was the friendliness of all the staff that I encountered and it wasn't a one off, staff continue to be friendly and smile every time I come to visit. I noticed that Stones was homely and lovely and clean and didn't smell. Then I saw the little Chapel and I knew straight away that this was the place for mum and I haven't been wrong! It took a while for her to settle in as she couldn't accept that she would be staying but she now enjoys it especially singing hymns in the Chapel and armchair exercises.

I have to thank the Assistant Manager for her support at a time when I was battling the guilt of having to leave mum there. It has been a success story and I am so pleased I chose Stones Place for her.

Thank you for your lovely review of Stones Place. I will ensure that this is shared with the staff team.

Review from Wendy D (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From my first visit to Stones Place, I knew my search for the right home for mum was over, I made my mind up within minutes of entering! After being shown around I just couldn't wait to bring my mum to look too!
Mum loved it immediately as well and decided to book in for respite. After only a couple of days she has decided to become a full time resident! The staff are exceptional, everyone is so kind, helpful and pleasant. It is extremely well run. A safe, caring environment for mum.

I really can't thank all the staff enough for how they've helped mum settle and feel welcome, nothing is ever too much trouble. It is perfection. I never knew homes like Stones Place existed till I found it!

Review from Chris D (Son of Resident) published on 24 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When looking for a residential home for my mum I used a really simple criteria, which was "would I like to live there?" When it comes to Stones Place, the answer was a very clear "yes, I would".

What has really impressed me is how the management sets the tone, they clearly muck in with what needs to be done, whether it is helping out in the dining room, or helping residents to speak with their family members over the phone. The food is good and there is a varied set of activities, which includes trips out to local amenities. I looked at 10 different homes and this home is by far the best. Also, you don't have to be a Methodist (or even a believer) to be a resident, you can take or leave the Methodism and have as much or as little as that as you wish. Like I said, I would live there. I feel very confident in the care that my mum receives. Highly recommended.

Review from Paul A (Son of Resident) published on 24 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After living on her own for nearly twenty years moving into a care home was a huge change for my mother. The staff at Stones Place were very understanding and patient. They encouraged but didn't force my mother to join the wide variety of activities available. Three months later and mother wouldn't want to go back to living on her own. She is now part of the wonderful community at Stones place. The staff are very friendly and supportive. Mother has made some friends. Now I no longer worry about over medication, falls on the stairs or diet.

Review from Ruth D (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Two years ago it was necessary for my mother to move to a nursing home. It was not an easy decision by any means. However, the care and compassion that has been shown to my mother every single day has been heart-warming. She is a private persona and this has been taken into account in every way. When family visit we are all greeted with smiles and tea and biscuits and made to feel that we are part of this very comforting and warm home. We are grateful.

Reply from Emma Pickett, Home Manager at Stones Place

Thank you for your lovely comments about Stones Place. It is reassuring to know that we are "getting it right". Your mother is a lovely lady, and it is so good to see her joining in with various programmes of activities in the home. We also love that she has such a supportive family that are regular faces here in the home.

Review from R P (Son of Resident) published on 22 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My Mother has been a resident at Stones Place for nearly 7 years. Previous to that she attended day-care at Stones Place when this was available. During her stay, she has received exceptional care. The staff are always attentive, supportive, and caring. Now that the renovation has been completed the home is clean, well decorated, and given a very good first impression on the entrance. I believe it to be one of the very best care homes in the area. This was reiterated at the Xmas party when I met new families who had chosen Stones Place over many others they had visited.
