I like Lincolnshire House because there is something new to do every day. I like trains and we have nice parties and entertainment throughout the year.
At the moment things are a bit chaotic as we have only just moved in but in a few weeks things will have settled down and it will be a lot better. I now have better facilities in my new bungalow (Fox View) and I am enjoying decorating and accessorising my home. David and I have been out a few times with our key workers to choose items for our bedrooms, lounge and kitchen. I am very happy in my new home.
I like it here at Lincolnshire House because we have more freedom, independence and a great social life.
It is fourty years since I came to Lincolnshire House in Sunny Scunny. At the time I did not know how being here was going to play on thee positive shaping of my life as an individual. Being here has made me become more independent and has given me the confidence to make my own personal decisions.
There has been a lot of changes over fourty years: starting at the beginning, for the first fifteen years, the philosophy of care was different in those days to what it is now. In what way? Well a long time ago the individuals who live here were not allowed to make their own decisions.
The late eighties it was all change when we became Lincolnshire House Association. In 1990 a building project which started in the grounds of the home and lasted for eleven years, resulting in seven bungalows being built. The changes go on, currently we are looking for land to build on.
What makes us unique from other care homes, well there are a lot of things but i would say one of the main things is identitiy.
At first I was aprehensive as I didn't know what to expect. I have lived at home with my parents all my life so this is a big change for me. I moved into Lincolnshire House on 28th June 2010 and everyone welcomed me and made me feel at home. I am settling in well but it will take a while for me to get used to it.
I am getting to know the other residents in my bungalow and will hopefully build up good and long lasting friendships. I am enjoying having my owne independence and I enjoy helping out in my bungalow. I have designed my own room and I am having one wall papered and the rest plain.
I came to live at Lincolnshire House in October 2006, I used to live with my mother in Scunthorpe. I have been coming to Lincolnshire House for may years as a daily.
I enjoy living at Lincolnshire House, the staff are very friendly. I like going on holidays with my firends, my favourite places to go are Eastbourne, Torquay and Cleethorpes. i also like going out for meals, i enjoy playing dominoes and discos.
I have my own bedroom and I am independent, we have just had a new kitchen built in our bungalow which is very nice.
I like the community spirit with everyone at Lincolnshire House and all the activities we do. i have been on various trips to Bradford, Cleethorpes and Flamingo Land with the staff from the activities centre. I really enjoy kurling and bowling, they are my two favourite activities to take part in at Lincolnshire House. I like to attend all the events for fund raising, I especially like the car boot on a Sunday because lots of people come to Lincolnshire House and I also like the events with a disco so I can dance and sing along to the music. If there was anything I could change I would like to have more events or activities to take place in the evenings.
I would rate Lincolnshire House 10 our of 10 for the standard of care I receive. I would like to start doing bean bag shooting in the activities centre. When I have key worker time I like to go out for a meal with some of the other residents and I also like to go shopping. The best thing about my bungalow is the atmosphere, I get along great with all the other residents, we are like a family.
I like the staff because they are nice and friendly, I especially like the activites manager, Eddie. I have been to the garden centre for dinner and I go bowling with the activiteis staff. I really like to play dominoes and triominoes. I also like to take part in green bowling, I join in with most activities.
I like to go to other resdient's and day service users birthday parties and I also attend the Christmas party with all the other residents and staff. I would like to come for more respite at Lincolnshire House as I enjoy being here. I would rate Lincolnshire House 8/9 for the care I receive.
