Braceborough Hall Care Home is situated in Braceborough, a delightful South Lincolnshire village approximately 6 miles from Stamford, Bourne and Market Deeping.
We opened our doors as a care home in 1985 and have been managed by the current owners since inception. An early Victorian house and we are situated in 2 acres of lawns and trees in a small village providing a calm and peaceful environment. The property has been extensively modernised in recent years but in a sympathetic way to ensure that it retains its original character.
The overriding aim of the home has always been to provide the highest level of personal care to its clients paying careful attention to their personal needs. We are registered for 25 residents and whilst there has been the temptation to extend the home to cater for additional numbers, this has been resisted on the basis that we wish to retain the home from home feeling and also because such a move could impact negatively on the standard of care provided. We believe that this makes us more attractive compared with some of the larger homes.

These duties are not limited to the tasks listed above and may vary depending on the needs of the home and its residents.
