Food
The talented chef and kitchen team prepare tasty, home-cooked meals on site daily from our own kitchens. We source quality produce for our excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. All-day dining is available for lighter meals and snacks and all dishes are carefully balanced to get the best nutritional value and cater for individual dietary requirements and preferences.
Seasonal produce is chosen whenever possible and of course, relatives and friends are always welcome to join us. The menus change daily and the kettle is always on. Our chef bakes every day so there is always a fresh cake for residents and visitors to enjoy.
Residents are also encouraged to help prepare their own food and to make snacks whenever they choose.
Activities
Whether it’s wet or dry outside, we at OSJCT feel that activities are essential in providing the best caring environment to live in.
Hobbies don’t simply stop when living with us at Boultham Park House. We have a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who works closely with our residents to create a programme of fulfilling activities and events, tailored around each resident’s requests, hobbies and interests. The programme of events and activities provide a source of fun and laughter, to help each resident live their life to the full and make new friendships.

With so many well-being activities for body and mind on offer, we also recognise that everyone needs some personal space for relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection. The cosy lounges offer an opportunity for some quiet time or to host family and friends.
And that’s not all:
We’ve had silent discos, hoe downs, Chinese banquets, Oscar parties and so much more.
Many of the activities feature Reminiscence Therapy to aid those living with Dementia to remember events, people and places using sight, touch, taste, smell and sound.
Events
As we are on the outskirts of a thriving town - within a vibrant community, there's never a dull moment. We run regular activities for all to join in:

Joanne Johnson
Helena Huckle
Home Manager
Joanne Johnson is the Home Manager at The Orders of St John Care Home, Boultham Park in Lincoln.
Joanne has worked in the care industry for the last twenty-two years, the last fifteen being with The Orders of St John Care Trust. She began my career initially as a Carer, working both days & nights before then being promoted to Care Leader, which gave Joanne the necessary leadership skills to become Head of Care and more recently Home Manager.
As Joanne has developed personally in each role, that passion has never left her and now as the Home manager, she still gets a real satisfaction from engaging with the Residents and helping where she can.
Since working in the industry, Joanne has achieved NVQ Level 2&3 in Health and Social care, Level 3 in effective Management. Jo is a medication champion for the Trust, and an appointed First Aider, who is working towards her level 5 management award.
In 2016, Joanne was presented with a chairman’s commendation for meritorious service which she is extremely proud of.
Every day is different in the life of the care home, usually very busy, but managed effectively by prioritising tasks. Jo has a very approachable nature and has an open-door policy enabling all colleagues, residents and visitors to feel they are able to talk to her.
Joanne’s passion for care of the elderly developed at a young age, having a close relationship with her Grandparents and taking her Grandfather to visit his friends in a variety of care providers, she soon realised that she wanted to support individuals and make a difference where she could.
When not at work, I enjoy foreign travel, socializing, dining out, reading and spending quality time with my husband Richard and my much-loved dog Ollie.
Head of Care
Helena began her career in the care sector in 2010 as a Community Carer in Newark Nottinghamshire. Helena began working for The Order of St John Care Trust in 2012 as a Night Carer, where she then also worked as a Day Carer, Acting Senior, Senior and then in 2018 she was promoted to Head of Care.
Helena is also Lead Person for Medicines Management. Her qualifications include NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care, RSA 1, 2, and 3. Helena has also completed qualifications in Typing, City and Guilds Computing and Programming, Sage Database, Attendance Monitoring, Budget monitoring and Data Protection.
Whilst living in Derbyshire, Helena helped to care for her terminally ill mother and this instilled her passion to work in the care industry.
As part of her role, Helena ensures that high-quality care is delivered and individuals are treated with dignity and respect, that care is person-centred and independence promoted.
Helena has built positive relationships with multi-disciplinary teams outside of the home and this also ensures that our residents receive excellent care.
As a person, Helena always supports and encourages employees to fulfil their potential and encourage them to further their career within the Trust.
Each day within the home is always busy but with good communication and all employees working together as a team, it is a very happy home with very contented residents.
Out of work, Helena enjoys travelling abroad, spending time with her daughter Alison, her husband and little grandson. She loves her dog Billy who is now quite old at 14 and also visiting my closest friend whom I met when I came to live in Lincoln and go on holiday with every year.
