About The Haven
The Haven supports older people and people living with dementia through residential care, freshly cooked meals and day-to-day assistance. Residents can choose food that meets special dietary needs and decide whether to eat in the dining room or in their own room.
Families are welcome to visit without set visiting hours, and they can join residents for meals. Bedrooms may be personalised with belongings from home, while pets can be considered through an individual risk assessment. There are no set visiting hours because the home is staffed around the clock, although external trips, hairdressing and chiropody are charged separately.

Questions families ask
Can residents bring their own furniture and belongings?
Yes. Residents can bring belongings such as a bed, wardrobe and pictures to make their room feel more homely. Each room also includes a 32-inch LED TV.
Can residents bring their pets?
Yes, subject to an individual risk assessment. The home may refuse admission if a pet presents a risk to staff or residents or would be harmed by coming into the home.
How can residents get help at night?
Call bells are available in every bedroom and at strategic points throughout the home. Staff keep them within reach and can arrange regular checks during the night.
Can residents access the outdoors?
Yes. Residents can access the outside facilities independently or with a carer's assistance, depending on their mobility. Gardening activities are also available.
How much does The Haven cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Haven 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.
