White Gables is a purpose-built single-storey nursing home set on the outskirts of Skellingthorpe, a village just three miles west of Lincoln. Built in the late 1990s and joining the Oak Tree Care Group in 2022, the home has a distinctive warmth and farmhouse character that immediately sets it apart. Surrounded by open fields and working farms - with cattle grazing on the neighbouring land - it feels genuinely removed from the pace of city life, while remaining well connected to everything Lincoln has to offer. It is a setting that residents speak of appreciating deeply, and one that lends the home a calm and settled quality that is difficult to put into words but easy to feel on a visit.
White Gables provides nursing and residential care for up to 55 residents across 55 single rooms, all on a single ground floor - meaning the home is fully and easily accessible to everyone who lives here, with no barriers to getting around. Eight rooms have ensuite wet room facilities. The home is set within large, well-kept lawned gardens, with a slabbed outdoor courtyard at its heart that serves as a peaceful and much-loved gathering space for residents and visiting families alike - a place to sit together, take in the surroundings and simply enjoy each other's company.
The team at White Gables specialises in nursing care, dementia across all stages, and palliative and end of life care, supporting predominantly older adults over the age of 50. The standard of care here is delivered with real dedication and compassion, in a setting that makes it easier to provide.

White Gables accepts residents who are privately funded, funded by the local authority, or funded through the Integrated Care Board (ICB) where nursing or healthcare funding is approved.

Private fees typically range from £1,300 to £1,400 per week, depending on the bedroom selected and the level of care and support required and resident complexities. Fees are determined following a pre-admission assessment, which helps establish each resident’s individual care needs and any associated complexities.

Even though it took my mum a little time to settle last year, she has now, and overall has a really good relationship with the staff and carers.

I have always been very satisfied with the care which my Mum receives. I always find the staff helpful and approachable and if I do have any issues I wish to discuss there is always someone available to speak to. My Mum has issues with refusing food and drink and I find everyone always does their best to encourage her as much as they can.
I spent a very pleasant few hours in the newly furnished lounge to celebrate the opening of the area. Excellent entertainment enjoyed by the residents and visitors together with a light buffet and drinks.

My experience of White Gables Care Home in the past 6 months since my wife became a resident, is that adequate staff are available and experienced to deal with the many different requirements of residents with respect and dignity. I have not had occasion to make any complaint but only request to enquire about my wife's condition and ongoing care has been met satisfactorily.
During the month of June, Dad had a fall and unfortunately had to go to A&E due to having banged his head. Although he was lucky enough to be back in the care home by lunch time, it made us realise even more how grateful we are to all the staff for looking after him so well.

Our mum was privileged to be with you only a few weeks before she died. We were very impressed with your home. The professionalism of all the staff, how smart they looked, how friendly they were. How accommodating to our needs. We wished we had known about you much earlier.

My dad had been in three care homes before finding White Gables. He was treated really badly in the past and it was extremely important that I found a caring care home for him. I asked around and got varying reviews but I have to say that White Gables was excellent. The decor is not fancy but the staff were cheerful and very caring and kind. Sometimes things did go wrong but, in my opinion, it's the way things were handled and sorted out that mattered and White Gables were helpful and did their best. My dad sadly passed away but I feel his end of life care was excellent and compassionate. I would, and have, recommended White Gables as an excellent care home.
Thank you.
All the staff from the management side, nurses, carers, catering and cleaning are all very kind and caring. Nothing is too much trouble. I am confident that my Mum could not get any better care than she is getting in what at times must be very difficult circumstances. I feel very lucky that my Mum...

My husband is being cared for wonderfully here. His personal care is brilliant, such a contrast to his previous experience of care home life.
