My mum went to Stones Place for respite in the summer, and five months later is still there. She enjoyed it so much she didn't want to go home. She's very settled, well cared for and has others to talk to and activities to keep her busy,

Always greeted with smiles. Very friendly. The care given to my mother is excellent. There is always something for the residents to do regarding activities. Nothing is too much trouble. Such kind staff.

My mother-in-law has been at this house for over 4 years. She is approaching 98 years of age. She has always received excellent care and is very happy here.

At the age of 96, my mother finally took the step of going into care. From her first visit she felt that Stone's Place was right for her; it was superbly clean with wonderful facilities and the staff were most welcoming. Now, three months on, my mother has settled really well. She tells me that she cannot fault the home nor the staff - "it is like living in a hotel" she says!! The food is excellent and she takes part in most, if not all, the activities - within the home and out. From my point of view, I am delighted to see that my mother has totally immersed herself in her new environment. At 96 it cannot have been easy for her, but everything about Stone's Place has made her transition into care so much easier. So, well done to Emma, Bev and all the staff at Stone's Place, Lincoln. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

My mum has now been at Stones for 4 months. I had to find a care home very quickly after mum had been in hospital and it was looking likely that she would not be able to return to my home to live with me as she was needing a lot more care. My first impression when I walked through the door was the friendliness of all the staff that I encountered and it wasn't a one off, staff continue to be friendly and smile every time I come to visit. I noticed that Stones was homely and lovely and clean and didn't smell. Then I saw the little Chapel and I knew straight away that this was the place for mum and I haven't been wrong! It took a while for her to settle in as she couldn't accept that she would be staying but she now enjoys it especially singing hymns in the Chapel and armchair exercises. I have to thank the Assistant Manager for her support at a time when I was battling the guilt of having to leave mum there. It has been a success story and I am so pleased I chose Stones Place for her.

From my first visit to Stones Place, I knew my search for the right home for mum was over, I made my mind up within minutes of entering! After being shown around I just couldn't wait to bring my mum to look too! Mum loved it immediately as well and decided to book in for respite. After only a couple of days she has decided to become a full time resident! The staff are exceptional, everyone is so kind, helpful and pleasant. It is extremely well run. A safe, caring environment for mum. I really can't thank all the staff enough for how they've helped mum settle and feel welcome, nothing is ever too much trouble. It is perfection. I never knew homes like Stones Place existed till I found it!

When looking for a residential home for my mum I used a really simple criteria, which was "would I like to live there?" When it comes to Stones Place, the answer was a very clear "yes, I would". What has really impressed me is how the management sets the tone, they clearly muck in with what needs to be done, whether it is helping out in the dining room, or helping residents to speak with their family members over the phone. The food is good and there is a varied set of activities, which includes trips out to local amenities. I looked at 10 different homes and this home is by far the best. Also, you don't have to be a Methodist (or even a believer) to be a resident, you can take or leave the Methodism and have as much or as little as that as you wish. Like I said, I would live there. I feel very confident in the care that my mum receives. Highly recommended.

After living on her own for nearly twenty years moving into a care home was a huge change for my mother. The staff at Stones Place were very understanding and patient. They encouraged but didn't force my mother to join the wide variety of activities available. Three months later and mother wouldn't want to go back to living on her own. She is now part of the wonderful community at Stones place. The staff are very friendly and supportive. Mother has made some friends. Now I no longer worry about over medication, falls on the stairs or diet.

Two years ago it was necessary for my mother to move to a nursing home. It was not an easy decision by any means. However, the care and compassion that has been shown to my mother every single day has been heart-warming. She is a private persona and this has been taken into account in every way. When family visit we are all greeted with smiles and tea and biscuits and made to feel that we are part of this very comforting and warm home. We are grateful.

My Mother has been a resident at Stones Place for nearly 7 years. Previous to that she attended day-care at Stones Place when this was available. During her stay, she has received exceptional care. The staff are always attentive, supportive, and caring. Now that the renovation has been completed the home is clean, well decorated, and given a very good first impression on the entrance. I believe it to be one of the very best care homes in the area. This was reiterated at the Xmas party when I met new families who had chosen Stones Place over many others they had visited.

Stones Place has restored my faith in the care system. I promised my mother I wouldn't let her move anywhere I wouldn't live myself. I looked at lots of homes. Then I found Stones Place. My mum has gone home. The staff, the attention to detail, the care, the warmth and the welcome. Mum is safe and happy. I can relax. Thank you.

Our aunt has been a resident for over 3 months. She is happy, has no worries, has settled well and made friends. The home is spacious, calm and peaceful. Residents are encouraged to say what they want and their wishes are respected. The home is excellent in providing activities and outings. The staff are lovely and helpful and the residents are never rushed.

I have spent two lovely weeks at Stones Place. I was rather apprehensive at first but enjoyed every moment. Very kind considerate staff. My room was tastefully decorated. The food was excellent with a very varied menu. A beautiful house and grounds. I am looking forward to my next stay in September.

The building is clean, the food is good, and there are plenty of activities, but above all, the staff are extremely caring and are all willing to go the extra mile for the residents and their visitors. This place exceeds my expectations in every way.

The staff have been friendly, accommodating and welcoming from the start! I have heard many good things regarding Stone Place, and it had lived up to those good reviews.

The carers are such warm, thoughtful and friendly professionals. The team make huge efforts to make events memorable for the residents and special for their families. The environment is kept spotlessly clean and tidy, and the food is of good quality and variety. The lady does a great range of activities for residents, and there is a lovely feel to the whole place.

The care my mother received at Stones was outstanding. She was very unhappy to try respite stay but settled very quickly due to the compassionate and skilful staff and the attitudes of everyone inclined. Full marks also to the domestic staff and the chef - meals beautifully presented and tasty. Kevin, the Italian Greyhound, is a wonderful bonus! Thank you all so much.

My mum sadly passed away in Stones Place last week. The care the staff gave to my mum in the last year was absolutely amazing. Every member of the staff truly obviously loved their job and the residents. I have no words to express my gratitude on the day Mum passed, and they have been as kind to me as they have been to Mum in the past year. It was a privilege for me to be part of the home, and I hope to continue to visit.

Well, on the morning of her birthday, the staff came in with a flowerhead dress that lit up and a sash that said queen for the day and birthday cards from the morning post. Breakfast and lunch were great, Mum loved it. Then there was the afternoon tea with even more surprises with cards and presents, Mum got emotional, but she loved her day. Massive thank you to all the staff at Stones Place.
