Overview
The Chestnuts Retirement Home is a small family-run business in Ruskington, near Sleaford, Lincolnshire. We are an award-winning, five-star rated home and we have always been known for our homely atmosphere.
My Grandad, Eric, founded our care home forty years ago. He was the owner and manager, and my nana did the cooking.
My parents started working at the Chestnuts, offering care, when I was 4. I started working as a carer at the Chestnuts Retirement Home 24 years ago. However, I have known the home my whole life, and as a child, I often visited to say ‘hi’ to the residents.
Throughout the last 24 years, I have worked in every aspect of the care home, from care assistant to accounts. I am now the Manager and the Owner. My children often visit the Chestnuts Retirement Home to say ‘hi’ to the residents and have expressed interest in continuing the family business.
My nana and grandad ended their years at the Chestnuts Retirement Home, and we aim to ensure your loved one receives that same high standard of care. Our ethos is 'everyone should receive the same high standard of care you would want for your own loved one.'
All our meals are home-cooked with locally sourced produce, where possible, and we have activities or trips out every day.
Your parents are treated as our own.
