Bunkers Hill Care Home, Nettleham (2025)

A bit about us….If you’re new to our page, you might like to know a little bit about the lovely community that is Bunkers Hill.

Bunkers Hill is a purpose-built care home, situated for easy access into the centre of Lincoln and the Outer Circle Road. It is also close to a wide range of shopping and leisure facilities including a retail park with several restaurants and cafes, providing excellent amenities for family, friends and visitors.

Bunkers Hill offers residents a warm and friendly home where they will be looked after with respect for their individual wishes and needs. We have a highly experienced nursing and care team, available twenty-four hours a day, who understand that a supportive environment is important, but that people also want to retain as much independence and choice in their daily routine as possible.

Many people are worried that going in to a care home means being removed from family and friends and the little things of daily life that they cherish. Nothing could be further from the truth. We never underestimate the importance of family and friends and actively encourage their continued involvement in the life of our residents. Loved ones can visit at any time and we hope that they will want to join in some of the many activities and events that occur every day. All our homes are communities, and just as with communities outside the home, it is when whole families and their friends get together and share experiences that great memories are made.

So if you are looking for a strong and supportive community that really cares about everyone as an individual then why not give us a call.

Stay cool this week...

With a heatwave happening, it's time to think about staying cool...

It’s important for older people to keep themselves safe - as excessive heat can quickly cause problems for some people.

Here at Bunkers Hill we always make sure our residents are properly hydrated and kept as cool as possible. We thought we would post this excellent advice from Age UK which you might find useful during the coming week. Enjoy the warmth but stay well everyone.

- Keep blinds down and windows closed when it's cooler inside than out.
- A cool bath or shower, or a damp cloth or a splash of water on the back of your neck can be better at cooling you down than a fan.
- Most medication should be kept below 25°C – so it might be best to keep it in the fridge when it's really hot.
- Drink plenty of water to avoid getting dehydrated, but avoid alcohol as it can dehydrate you.
- Keep eating even if you're not feeling too hungry. Try to eat more food that's cold and has a lot of water in it, like fruit or salad.

We hope that all of you stay safe & hydrated this week and we will be doing our best to make sure all our residents are kept as cool as possible.

🌸 A Thoughtful Thank You at Bunkers Hill...

We’re delighted to introduce Sandra, our new nurse here at Bunkers Hill Care Home.

Sandra was recently given these beautiful flowers by our resident Ken, as a heartfelt thank you for the care and kindness she shows him while on duty.

While we never expect gifts — we do what we do because we care — it’s always touching to see such thoughtful gestures.

Welcome to the team, Sandra, and thank you Ken for reminding us how powerful a simple act of kindness can be.
