Tennyson Wharf Care Home in Lincoln

Located opposite the beautiful Burton Waters Marina, Tennyson Wharf offers stunning views of the boats and yachts on show, as well as the Lincolnshire countryside. Alongside this, we also offer respite care, which you can pre-book up to a year in advance. Our team of qualified and dedicated staff focus on the individual needs of those we support and are committed to providing professional and respectful care, with residents at the heart of everything we do.

The home has a dedicated Memory Lane Community, built specifically for people living with various stages of dementia. Within the community, memory boxes with small reminders and items, such as photographs, are used to help each person reminisce. Design features, including adapted crockery and tableware, sensory gardens with low-risk walkways and activity kitchens also enable people to engage in life’s everyday simple tasks and pleasures. We are also proud to be accredited as part of Barchester’s 10-60-06 Dementia Care programme, which recognises the improved quality of life residents here experience.

Our high standards are reflected throughout the home with our luxurious facilities, delicious meals, daily activities, and selection of therapeutic approaches we have on offer. Together with our lively social calendar, our fantastic services help stimulate residents’ minds, and empower them to approach their future in a positive way.

For more information on this beautiful purpose-built care home, please give us a call and we will be more than happy to discuss how we may best meet your needs.

Our Team

The dedicated and experienced team are passionate about providing quality care to each individual living at the home.

Katya Petrova

General Manager

Hi, my name is Katya, and I am the General Manager here at Tennyson Wharf. Welcome to our website!

I have the honour to lead the team and serve the residents here at Tennyson. I understand that taking the step of choosing a care home can be a difficult and emotional decision, so myself and my team are here to support you.

I have been working for Barchester since 2002 and have been in the nursing profession since 1986. I started my journey and career at Barchester as a Senior Care Assistant and worked my way through various roles throughout the years. I realised that there’s nothing more important to me than making people happy; sometimes it can be the simple things that help, like making them feel heard and valued.

I strive to make every day special and different to yesterday for all residents, and I feel proud to be part of their lives and share their memories.

I was named as 'Nurse of the Year' at the 2013 Barchester Care Awards, which is one of my greatest achievements and a very proud moment.

Ensuring peace of mind for all relatives is one of my greatest objectives; it is imperative that they know their loved ones are in safe hands and are in a caring and joyful environment.

The residents are at the heart of everything we do here at Tennyson, and we think we are perfectly suited to meet your needs now and in the future.

Laura Lambert

Deputy Manager

I have worked in the care sector for over 10 years. I started as a care assistant at the age of 18, working in both a community and a care home setting. I went to university at the age of 20 to study Adult Nursing at Birmingham City University, where I graduated with a distinction. Alongside my training, I worked at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital as a bank care assistant on numerous wards, gaining experience in multiple areas.

I did my final year of university in ITU, oncology and palliative care. Once qualifying, I moved back home to Nottinghamshire and did the Preceptorship Program with the NHS at Bassetlaw Hospital in Trauma and Orthopaedics, working closely with the elderly and frail.

I have worked for Barchester since 2013. I joined as a Bank Nurse at our sister home, Lancaster Grange, working nights alongside my NHS job, before joining on a permanent basis in 2015. I was promoted to Senior Nurse in 2017. In May 2018, I transferred to Tennyson Wharf as a Clinical Lead Nurse, and became the Deputy Manager in July 2018.
