There is no doubt that this a very special Care Home. It must be emphasised that there are many here who have gone through difficult times in their lives and views differ. During my time here I feel that I have been treated well and as the Representative of the residents I have done all I can to
help others. Activities are well planned and attempts are made to please as many as possible. Food & menus are well thought out with allergies/diabetic etc and well catered for. Management is sympathetic and understanding. Its difficult to think where such care can be done elsewhere.

After the unexpected passing of my wife, I needed help with my everyday household management and life in general. A period of respite was suggested, and I looked at several care homes to help me through a short period of one to two weeks. Most of the care homes visited were smelly, dirty, shabby
homes, was sugested, and I made an unanounced unexpected visit. I was welcomed by a pleasant, cheerful receptionist. Nature of my enquiry passed me on to the deputy, who, after reassurance of the admission criteria, I arranged a two week respite. The menu was superb, and the food served matched the excellent menu. The staff were amazingly helpful, caring and kind, particularly to those with special difficulties. After one day respite, I signed into the home permanently. I have been here for 2 months and do not regret my decision. Really wonderful environment provided - and games.

Everything was excellent with one exception....
The telephone signal was dreaful my wife could not decifer what I was saying as it was as if I was under water. I did not contact my wife for two days. This made me very sad. My wife contacted the staff and twice they brought me one of their phones to
use. I did not like to ask for them to keep bring there phones to me. I would be happy to return again for respight if this was sorted.

You might think that my rating of 'excellent' in all categories is 'over inflated' but the fact is, this home is excellent. It looks nice and it is nice. Set in beautiful grounds, its idyllic. Every member of staff I encountered was so friendly and caring. Its clean, tidy, well maintained and very
"fresh" and "airy". The food is also to a very good standard/excellent standard. I came here due to a temporary incapacity and if I am infirmed again, this is where I shall come to.
Thankyou.
PS The bedrooms are great. So large and comfortable.

Very good service as I was only in for 1 week

I stayed at Tennyson Wharf Care Home for 2 1/2 weeks respite - the staff were wonderful & made my staff just perfect.

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 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!

Everyone of the staff are kind and and caring plenty of activities. The building is very clean and looked after, as are the grounds. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. I always feel nothing is too much trouble when I ring or call in.

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 in very quickly. I have complete confidence in how well my mum is being looked after.

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.

Mum had to go into care quickly and Barchester Tennyson Wharf Care Home was able to accommodate this. The care given to Mum was excellent. All staff were cheerful and kept us informed of any changes with her. Thank you for the care given to Mum. She was very happy with you.

A superb facility that is clean, spacious and well-equipped.
The staff have provided faultless respite care for my dad.
23 August 2024
I have left the value for money rating because I am no judge of such matters, I am poorer than I was last year!
I thank God that I can (just) afford it.
Thank you for everything, your kindness and friendliness and patience.

Two weeks respite stay and I would very much like to return at a later date.
02 May 2024
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.

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.
09 April 2024
I found the facilities first-rate.
The staff, without exception, cheerful, caring and attentive.
The food selection and quality very good.
I could fault nothing.
16 February 2024
The staff are very good, they can't do too much for you. The food is second to none. It's a pleasure to be here.
12 January 2024
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.
