Meet The Manager
Adam Atkin is Home Manager at Ruckland Court Care Home.
Adam Atkin is our Home Manager at Ruckland Court Care Home. Adam has worked for Country Court since 2015 at Tallington Lodge and most recently here at Ruckland Court. Adam is passionate about providing the very highest standards of care and support for our residents. Adam and his team take time to get to know each of our residents and their families individually in order to provide the very best person-centred care and support.
Nestled in the peaceful Ermine district just north of Lincoln, Ruckland Court Care Home offers a warm and inviting atmosphere for residential and dementia care. Our caring team is available around the clock, providing personalised and thoughtful care. We pride ourselves on creating a close-knit family environment where every resident feels valued and understood.
Recently, we've lovingly refurbished our home, introducing a charming bistro called The Coffee Club, a pampering Elegance Beauty and Wellness Spa, and the welcoming Dambusters Arms pub, alongside new lounge dining rooms, additional en-suite bedrooms, and a cosy cinema room, all designed with our residents' comfort and independence in mind.
We cater to a variety of care needs, offering both long-term stays and short-term respite care, always focusing on the personal preferences and needs of those we look after. With our dedicated Dementia Champion, we provide expert dementia care in a supportive environment.
Ruckland Court Care Home works to create the most constructive, healthy residential space in Lincoln, utilising meaningful and engaging activities to add something special to each day. Located close to the A15 and Lincoln bypass, the care home also benefits from excellent transport and community links, enabling us to organise trips and events for residents to take part in on a regular basis.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Our nursing homes have Wellbeing and Activities coordinators to encourage and facilitate residents to choose daily activities which have the simple objective to encourage social interaction and stimulation. These activities are designed as to improve the variety in residents' daily lives, introduce new skills and enable residents to discover new passions. All of Country Court Care's homes have developed very strong ties with their local community. We always encourage local people to attend events at the homes, as well as encouraging residents to join in the fun. Part of our mission to provide a positive and independent space is a focus on providing residents with engaging activities to take part in. At Ruckland Court, we offer a lively programme of events and occasions, with a dedicated Activities and Well-Being Coordinator on hand to support residents and help them continue practising their hobbies or interests. These hobbies can vary, from gardening and baking to arts and crafts or singing, there is always something going on for everyone to enjoy. We encourage residents to continue being part of their local community and organise regular outings to Lincoln City Centre and local attractions so that they can stay connected to the city’s goings-on. This local encouragement extends beyond the residents, too, with the local community attending many of the events held in the home, joining residents and providing them with new, engaging people to meet. |
