About Avocet House Care Home
Avocet House Care Home provides residential, dementia, palliative, respite and day care in a purpose-built 66-bed home in Boston. Its service is designed for older people who need flexible support, whether they are considering permanent care, a short stay, daytime help or specialist dementia care.
Residents receive individualised care shaped around their wishes and choices, with activities intended to support independence and daily engagement. Families can personalise rooms with favourite belongings, continue with an existing GP where possible and bring pets for supervised visits. Day care supports people who are not ready for overnight stays but still need company and care during the day.

Questions families ask
Do they need proof of funding before admission?
They ask for details of available funds and assets during pre-admission, helping families make the right financial choice for care.
Can residents bring their own furniture and belongings?
Yes. Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with favourite belongings. Rooms are already furnished, but the home will do its best to accommodate a preferred piece of furniture.
Can pets visit the care home?
Yes. Pets can visit, including dogs, provided they are kept on a lead and supervised. Animal-based activities such as pet therapy are also offered.
Can residents keep their existing GP after moving in?
Yes, if the GP is within Avocet House's catchment area. Otherwise, the home can register the resident with a local surgery on their behalf.
Can they accommodate vegan, diabetic or modified diets?
Yes. Their chefs provide a four-week seasonal menu that changes daily and cater for vegan, vegetarian, diabetic, soft and fully modified diets, with alternatives available.
How much does Avocet House Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Avocet House Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Lincolnshire council paid on average £769 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
