Skirbeck Court care home, on Spilsby Road in Boston, has been selected as the Most Attractive Neighbourhood in this summer’s Love your Neighbourhood campaign run by Boston Borough Council.

The Mayor of Boston, Councillor Helen Staples and Councillor Callum Butler presented the award to residents and team members during a visit to Skirbeck Court. They congratulated those at the home for their commitment to creating a beautiful environment and promoting positive connections with their local community. 

The care home’s centre garden features a pond, shaded area, pergola, seating, and many flourishing plant pots. There are also several ornaments added by residents and visitors, and seating areas making it a relaxing and sociable space. 

Sasha Thornalley, Head of Care, said: “Residents really enjoyed making our centre garden into a pretty area for themselves and their visitors to sit in and enjoy the sunshine. It’s been rewarding seeing residents’ enthusiasm and pride in the garden. Staff and visitors have also been busy making this an attractive area, it has been a real team effort.”

Sylvia Smalley, resident, added: “I really enjoyed helping with the garden and making bunting for display. It kept me busy and now we have a lovely area to enjoy with our visitors. It’s been so nice seeing everyone work together.”
