About The Grove Care Centre
The Grove Care Centre supports older people through residential and dementia care, with facilities and activities designed around daily living and community connection. The home occupies an 18th-century Georgian mansion in Skellingthorpe, with individual bedrooms, communal areas and gardens.
Short-term respite care is available for people needing temporary support, considering a permanent move or returning home after hospital. Day care is also offered for socialisation and community. Residents can join cognitive and physical activities, continue hobbies and take local outings, while menus include choices for medical, religious and cultural dietary requirements.

Yes. They create tailor-made care plans using technology, support individual choice and help residents take part in as many daily living activities as possible.

Yes. Residents can still choose their care home, although a small third-party top-up fee may sometimes apply. The manager explains the funding process and supports applications.
Will staff take residents to hospital appointments?

How much does The Grove Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Grove Care Centre 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.
