“Welcome to St Margaret’s care home. We provide residential and nursing care for the elderly from our home in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. We believe that people should feel safe, comfortable and happy throughout their older years – and we go out of our way to create a homely environment that does just that. If you would like to discuss how we can help, just give me a call.”
Michelle Haddock, Manager
OUR HOME
Situated just outside Grimsby, St Margaret’s care home offers residential, nursing and EMI care for elderly people and those with dementia. We can also provide support for younger, physically disabled people. Our care home can accommodate up to 56 people for both long-term and short stays for respite. Our aim is to help individuals to live independently and safely, but offer support and companionship where required. Our staff includes qualified nurses who are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
LOCATION
Grimsby town centre is just five minutes from our home by car or bus, allowing quick and easy access to shops, pubs, local services and amenities. There is a regular bus service operating seven days a week that some of our residents like to take advantage of – and the popular seaside resort of Cleethorpes is only 15 minutes away, which is great for fish and chips and some fresh air.

LIVING AT ST MARGARET’S
Moving into a residential home can be a worrying time for both the individual and their family, we understand this and work closely with families and carers to make the process as smooth as possible. Prior to moving in, relatives and residents are encouraged to visit us for a look around and to have a chat with our friendly staff team.
We support relatives throughout and view them as part of our extended family – families can spend as much time with loved ones as they wish.
All of our food is prepared and cooked within the home, with plenty of home baking too. Individual preferences are taken into account and special diets are catered for.
People at St Margaret’s enjoy a varied lifestyle, with a person-centred care plan tailored to their personal preferences. Individuals have choice in how they spend their days and what they do with their time.
We have two activities coordinators who put on an extensive and varied programme of recreations, seven days a week. Activities on offer include trips to the seaside, visits to garden centres, evenings at the theatre and even a day out at a beer festival.
Within the home, we have card games, bingo, music, a knitting group and a monthly church service – there’s something to suit all preferences and abilities. We also have a visiting chiropodist, optician, hairdresser and pastoral visits, which can be arranged on request.
“I feel like the Queen, and couldn’t ask to be anywhere better. Everyone is so good to me, so kind and caring. The staff are marvellous. I enjoy the little knitting group, it’s good to talk, I feel safe at St Margaret’s.”

OUR TEAM
The team at St Margaret’s is led by our CQC registered manager, Michelle Haddock, who has many years’ experience in elderly and customer services. Michelle has a deputy manager and a team of nurses and care staff who all promote the well-being of our clients. Staff are selected both for their skills and their kind and patient and personalities.
We are committed to respecting each individual’s privacy, rights and dignity. All staff have training in dementia, promoting dignity and in EMI related conditions. We have a rolling programme of training and Continuous Professional Development (CPD) to ensure we are up-to-date with best practices.
“People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests.”

PERSONAL STORY
I like living at St Margaret’s, it’s the best way I’ve ever lived. I think the staff are brilliant, better than any I’ve ever been looked after. I don’t have a favourite member of staff, they’re all brilliant and going to the pub is my favourite activity.
