Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was only at Tennyson Wharf for three nights an eighty nine year old visiting my cousin. My experience from start to finish was delightful. Special care must be taken recruiting staff as their approach to their job was above and beyond expectations. We were cared for without being made to feel needy
(respect) and the joy and laughter was so uplifting I was sad to leave.
Unfortunatly Tennyson Wharf is in Lincoln and I'm in Cambridge or I would be considering long term stay.

I am the resident representative here at Tennyson Wharf I appreciate the opportunity to represent this care home which is rated as phenomenal by inspectors. All departments here are excellent and the care and kindness is second to none with residents treated with dignity. Health and safety and security
are paramount with housekeeping and cleanliness is obvious to visitors & guests. Activities are well presented and this is difficult because of such a diverse society. Visits are available as well as visiting singers and armchair exercises. This care home has a dementia community and all carers have constant training to help with all capabilities. Meals are well presented with options available and care with allergies and diabetic needs. The management and admin ensure that residents and carers receive personally centered attention.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am pleased to share our experience with Tennyson Wharf Barchester Care Home, where my father moved in on 17th March 2025. We discovered Tennyson Wharf through a friend and visited on 15th March, where we were warmly welcomed by a knowledgeable staff member. The home's warm atmosphere was evident,
especially during an enjoyable Irish dancing performance.
The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my father on short notice, providing invaluable support during this emotional time. The care home is in a superb location with lovely gardens and marina views, and it's impeccably clean and well-maintained.
What sets Tennyson Wharf apart is the genuine care each resident receives. The food is excellent, and the variety of activities keeps residents engaged. The facility feels like a five-star hotel, with ample parking and spacious rooms. The paperwork process was seamless, making the transition easier. I highly recommend Tennyson Wharf for its exceptional care and kindness!

The standards at Tennyson Wharf are exceptional. All of the team looking after the residents are amazing, kind, caring, considerate and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent range of activities on everyday to keep residents engaged should they wish to join in. Mum is extremely happy there and settled

Mum has been made to feel welcome right from the start. The staff are lovely, very caring and adaptable. Nothing seems too much trouble. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and there is plenty for her to do without feeling any pressure to participate. Mum has made friends already and is thoroughly
enjoying her new life. The improvement in her walking and general demeanour is remarkable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having spent a lot of time researching to find a suitable respite placement for my father, I finally came upon this absolutely brilliant home which looked nothing like standard care homes. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Dad said this was his favourite place, topping pub breakfasts! Most
importantly, he's really happy to return for more respite shortly and if permanent care was required, he'd be more than happy to return. He really loved it there and loved all the attention.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son arranged for me to have a week's respite holiday so I could visit relatives who lived in the area.
It was arranged efficiently but feel because of the circumstances I cannot comment fairly on the facilities and activities.
I found the whole experience enjoyable and energising after a difficult
few weeks at home where I live alone.
On arrival I received a warm welcome and was impressed by the high standard and freshness of the decor - which I noticed continued throughout. I found all the caring staff always friendly and extremely helpful. The food good with nice-sized portions but unfortunately I found the residents antisocial - the few I met in the dining room and others stayed in their rooms.

We thought that Tennyson Wharf facilities and rooms were excellent. The activities staff made sure my mum was included at all times. Our only concern was the doctor who visited the home requested blood pressure and blood glucose tests three times a day and this was never carried out without my mum buzzing
and reminding them.

After a nightmare week in hospital I needed to gain confidence before returning to live alone. Barchester Tennyson Wharf Care Home had a good reputation so I booked myself in for a week then a second. I have gained confidence, benefited from the good food and kindness and expert care. The home's biggest
asset is its staff team who are splendid people, with nothing too much trouble unimportant need to me no patronising. I retired 29 years ago from residential care management, CQC lay inspector and other experience in care for older people. Here is a new concept of care to what I've experienced and I like it. Barchester Tennyson Wharf Care Home is an exceptional place with exceptional staff dealing with a variety of needs for vulnerable people. A good place, thank you.

As this is my fourth stay at Burton Waters residential home, I think that must speak for itself regarding satisfaction. The staff are always polite and helpful and will go the extra mile to sort out any problems a resident may have. If in the future I should need some temporary assistance of a personal
nature away from home, Burton Waters would be my first port of call.

My children and I have all been very comforted and consoled by the kindness and concern of all of the staff and are super impressed by the treatment that my husband is receiving. We were initially very concerned that my husband was having difficulty settling, but the staff reacted promptly and with

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Barchester Tennyson Wharf Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.850 for Barchester Tennyson Wharf Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.85
  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 Barchester Tennyson Wharf Care Home is based on 18 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 18 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.
