About Us

Ermine House is a residential care home in Lincoln caring for older people who need support with everyday life.

What we provide is help with the ordinary business of the day: assistance to wash and dress, medication managed properly and on time, meals cooked on the premises, support to get about safely and staff available through the night. We try to keep the house feeling domestic rather than institutional, so residents decide when they get up, where they spend the day and who they want to see.

We should be straightforward with you about our position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have been working through the points raised, particularly around record keeping, staff supervision and the consistency of care planning, and we would encourage anyone considering the home to ask us about that directly rather than take our word for it. Relatives are involved in that work, since they are best placed to judge whether things have actually improved.

Respite stays are available alongside permanent places.

Families across Lincolnshire are welcome to visit. Please ring and we will arrange a time.
