  • Cathedral Care Centre, Lincoln
Cathedral Care Centre in Lincoln is located with beautiful views of the Cathedral and offers caring and supportive staff.

It accepts residents for long-term, short term, day care, convalescence and holiday stays with provision for respite care, as well as transitional care helping people move from hospital back to their own homes.

Trained, caring staff encourage independence in residents wherever possible, and offer a range of activities within the home to engage and entertain the residents. The convenient location of the care home allows the more independent residents to access all that the beautiful city of Lincoln has to offer.

The home cooked food by trained chefs, offers residents a diverse and healthy menu to support good brain and body function that can be lacking in the elderly.

During mum's stay at this home she enjoyed taking part in a range of activities, was encouraged to make new friends and received very good personal care. I respected the kindness demonstrated by various staff members throughout the last few months however the one to one care, overwhelming compassion
and gentle approach shown to mum and my family during mum's final week was outstanding. There were several individuals who went over and above their job description, showing such sensitivity to ensure that mum maintained her dignity right to the end. Thank you!

We had to place my mum in care last June - having experienced a dreadful care home in the past for my father, I was dreading it. However Cathedral Care Centre is not like any care home I've ever come across. Firstly mum's room is beautiful and large with a lovely big window - comfy armchair and TV provided.
The meals are amazing plus all the daily treats that come around. The activities have been carefully selected taking in account each residents hobbies and interests. My mum is crazy about Elvis - so they regularly have an Elvis impersonator come in and put on a show - to see my mum dancing and singing along is so heartwarming. Mum has her hair and nails done regularly- she is always clean and fresh and wearing all her own clothes (that wasn't the case where my dad was). The staff are so warm and friendly and nothing is too much to ask. Living in New Zealand, I get to see lots of posts on social media - my friend regularly visits mum and says she could move in herself!

Can't fault Cathedral Care Centre. My mum's quality of life has improved immeasurably since she moved there. The staff are all wonderful and can't do enough. Having experienced other Lincoln care homes with my dad, Cathedral is leaps and bounds superior.
Thank you to all the amazing staff that help
her have a safe and as normal a life as possible and enable her to retain her dignity. She's always clean, nicely dressed and other than the confusion dementia brings, she hasn't looked as well in years.

The team at the home is so kind, patient, and supportive of my Dad - three years on from my last review the standard of care is still excellent, the food is great and the home is clean and welcoming. They have shown endless patience and kindness with Dad. The team is always very friendly, on hand, and
happy to see relatives when we arrive. The strong ethos of care, kindness, and respect for residents is manifest and prevails throughout the entire organisation. Thank you so much!

Mum has been a resident at Cathedral Care Centre for almost four years (including the COVID lockdown periods).
Throughout all of her time at CCC, Mum has been well looked after. The staff are genuinely caring and relate well to residents. All the staff from the manager to on-site maintenance work as
a team to ensure residents are well cared for. The new manager (Jan 24) is also providing a big asset.

I was taken there by ambulance after a breakdown and stroke on Thursday 30th of March this year. I was unconscious. Recovered my facilities and settled in for a new there in room 7. Very nice room overlooking the central lawn, in view of the national flag and look after the bird feeder and the squirrels!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I came into the Cathedral Care Centre after a trip at home, I'm currently on respite care, the staff made me feel welcome the moment I was greeted at the front door. The home is warm and friendly. My stay in one word 'Lovely' and the staff are doing a fantastic job, not just for me but everyone. I am
a vegan and the kitchen staff ensure my diet is followed, I was at the Cathedral for their Halloween party, there was plenty of food for me to eat, the staff joined in and it was one big happy party. I found the cooking club to be fun with plenty of laughing with other residents. I have been studying natural health all my adult life, I have written a book called 'Powerful Cancer Fighting-Foods' staff will sit with me talking about my book, listening to my stories, it is lovely that they are interested in my writing and take time to spend time with me. I just wish I could be here for Christmas, but my respite care would have ended and I will be back at home.

How wonderful to know that this little bit of respite is giving you peace of mind.
We love having him here, he's really part of the family now.

My dad is currently having respite here and this will be his second visit. My dad has Alzheimer’s, the manager of Cathedral Court Centre is lovely along with the other staff, other residents and all the care, food, services they provide, all of this is really good. The building and its rooms are perfect
and my dad is happy here, the food is good. The staff are really nice and I think the manager does an amazing job. Inside it is clean, nicely decorated and you get the instant home from home feel. It is well organised and very friendly. I cannot fault this home. They tailor the care and support for each and every person. I would recommend this home with no hesitation and feel it provides an excellent service all-round.
Reply from Sarah Scaife, Home Manager at Cathedral Care Centre

Thank you so much for this lovely review. We absolutely love having your dad to stay and are so glad we can support you all.
Thank you for recognising our staff for the hard work they do. Take care, Sarah

My father was admitted for respite care. He didn't want to be there at all. He desperately wanted to be back home. He, therefore, didn't make life easy for the staff. The staff were amazing and very soon built a great rapport with my father. He had just made the decision to stay at the care home and
not go back home when he was taken ill and sadly passed away in hospital. I can't thank the staff enough for the care and dedication they showed my father. I visited the home after his passing to collect his things and everyone there showed such compassion. I was very happy with the service provided for the whole of my father's stay.

My mother-in-law was admitted to Cathedral Care Centre for rehabilitation after a recent fall and a stay in hospital. From the first point of contact, which was a telephone call with the care home manager, to her admission I cannot speak highly enough of the care she has, and still is receiving. All
the staff we have met have been so friendly and caring not just towards my mother-in-law but also towards me and the rest of the family. Any questions we have had have been dealt with quickly and efficiently and nothing has been too much trouble. My mother-in-law has been treated with respect and care at all times.

My dad came to Cathedral Care Centre from hospital and he was in some pain and, being usually very independent, very much out of his comfort zone. The staff took time to reassure him and make him feel as secure as possible in unfamiliar surroundings. Living some distance from Lincoln and unable to visit,
I really appreciated that the manager spared time to talk to Dad and then update me by telephone. From day to day, the staff have found little ways to make his stay better - from a pot of "proper" Yorkshire Tea to a bowl of ice cream to cheer him up. These things make a difference.
Reply from Sarah Scaife, Home Manager at Cathedral Care Centre

Our staff do try their best to make people feel cared for with little personal touches, especially when people first come to stay at the home as this can be such an unsettling time in their lives.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, it means the world to myself and my staff.

Since the change of ownership, Cathedral Care has improved dramatically. The whole interior is being refurbished and modernised, and gardens are now pleasant for residents and visitors to sit in. The most striking change is the effective leadership and care provided. As a relative, I am now confident
that my parent is being treated with love and respect, and his emotional and physical needs are met. The change from the previous owners is dramatic and improves all the time. Well done and thank you to the staff and management for a fantastic job.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.844) out of 10 for Cathedral Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.844 for Cathedral Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (122 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.844
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cathedral Care Centre is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
