Choosing a care home for your loved one, friend or family member is a big decision, and we imagine the challenges you’re facing. You may be feeling anxious, uncertain or even guilty. Many families tell us they're overwhelmed by terminology, unsure what questions to ask, and simply hoping to find somewhere that feels right.
At Canwick House, we work with families, not just for them.
We make the transition as gentle as possible, involving you as much as you'd like whilst helping your loved one settle into the familiar routines that matter the most to them.. Some families request weekly updates, others prefer an occasional phone call or a check-in now and then - we adapt to how you prefer to communicate.
Our help and advice covers everything from understanding Dementia care to managing the practical steps of moving into a care home. We translate medical complexity into everyday layman’s and help you feel, informed, supported and mostly, reassured.
If you have questions about anything discussed here, please get in touch. We're always happy to talk.


Set in the heart of picturesque Canwick village, our Home enjoys beautiful views of Lincoln Cathedral, an established enclosed garden, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels calm from the moment you arrive. We invite you to come and see for yourself, we would be delighted to show you around.
