When visiting, the home is always clean and my mother is happy in her environment. Staff are always pleasant and eager to help although it would be better if there were more staff on duty.

My wife has been resident here for about 6 years. In that time, she has received very good care. I have visited almost every day and always made welcome.
I don't think that I could have chosen a more appropriate one.

Overall, over a 10-month residence, the standard of care - good and attention is immediate if requested, the doctor attends when requested (over and beyond routine visits). Cheerful care, meals as "family standard" not luxurious but well-balanced and obviously provided within a sensible cost budget. Acceptable and enjoyed by "my resident" usually. Activities provided frequently with lots of variety and fun, not too taking mentally. Musicians, singers coming in, church service, celebrations noted (both personal birthdays and Christmas). Overall - satisfactory.
My husband has been here for four years. He has stayed here and has been more settled as the time has gone by. It has been very pleasing to have him in here.

Generally, my mum is happy and well cared for. The staff are generally extremely caring and willing to help. Food is excellent and kitchen staff very approachable regarding individual needs and tastes. Activities have improved a great deal over the last year and there is far better planning and communication.
On occasions, there can be staff difficulties but as a rule, the rest of the staff try not to let it affect their units suffer.

As a family, we have been very happy with the care each family member has received. My mother-in-law has been here for the last 3 years and has blossomed since she has been here.

Bunkers Hill Care Home has helped tremendously with caring for my dad. He has been cared for there since July 2017 and the care received is excellent. They were catered and continue to cater to all needs and the staff are loving, professional, caring and work so hard.

My uncle has been in Bunkers Hill Care Home for the last 3 months on a regular basis we visit him and he is more settled at Bunkers Hill Care Home and looks happier than before. The care he is having is second to none. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

My mother in law became a resident in late 2017 and since that time I have visited her daily and so become quite familiar with the staff and facilities. Firstly, we have found the staff to be caring and highly professional. If I had any criticism, it would be that we rarely have the opportunity to meet with the care home manager. That said, our relationship with the staff we come into regular contact with is excellent. If ever asked, I would not hesitate to recommend the home to anyone.
I have been here for 6 months and have been quite happy with the service here. I am quite happy. It feels like I am home and I have more company here.

Hi, I’m Chithraa, and I’m proud to be the Home Manager at Bunkers Hill Nursing Home.
I’m a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I started my career in hospitals, where I gained wide clinical experience across intensive care, accident and emergency, and surgical units. That background shapes how I lead today, with a strong focus on clinical oversight and resident safety.
From 2021 to 2025, I worked with Care UK, where I held roles including Clinical Lead and Deputy Manager. There I built my experience in complex care, medication management and quality assurance. I led initiatives to improve clinical governance, medication safety and documentation standards, supporting continuous improvement across my teams.
In 2025, I joined Oak Tree Care as Clinical Deputy Manager at one of our sister homes, White Gables in Lincoln. I came to Bunkers Hill as Interim Manager in early 2026, and I was delighted to take on the role permanently later that year.
I’m passionate about providing safe, high-quality, person-centred care. I’m committed to supporting and developing my team, so that residents, families and staff all feel confident in the care we provide.
If you would like to learn more about Bunkers Hill, please feel free to give us a call – I would be delighted to show you around our lovely home.
