Skegness, Ingoldmells and Chapel St. Leonards pride themselves with both an ideal level terrain, and excellent facilities for both elderly and disabled visitors. Most local hotels, caravan parks and self-catering establishments will have limited ground floor bedrooms (or wheelchair friendly caravans). Several hotels have specific classified facilities that are welcoming to disabled visitors. For those dependant on a carer or family, consider a holiday break in a specialised holiday care home (below), a holiday on the coast, but with 24 hour care. A wonderful gift from family to an aging loved one?

The Embassy Centre Theatre was designed for ease of access for wheelchairs, so there is great entertainment for all - without restriction.

Because the whole coastline is level, mobility should present very little problem to most wheelchair users. Access to the beach in the town centre is excellent and various routes provide easy access to sea-defence pathways that expand several miles to the north and a shorter distance south. Wheelchair visitors may however encounter some problem on certain areas (of the sea-defences) due to sand which may be washed over the walkways at high tide. While it is very difficult to keep all sea-defence pathways clear on a constant basis, those in the town centre are well maintained and should be accessible at most times. There is an unsurfaced area to the north of North Shore Road, which is located on private property, and is inaccessible for wheelchair users.

Wheelchair hire and electric scooter hire is readily available at several locations in Skegness and district.

 

 

Woodside Care Home is a quality residential home for the retired. The privately owned company also welcomes disabled or elderly holiday visitors, who may require services beyond that which a normal hotel can provide.

Woodside Care Home provides 24 hour care from dedicated and well trained staff, excellent meals, two spacious lounges and quality bedrooms. Occasional supervised outings are available in the company's own mini-bus. Pleasant gardens are available for relaxing in the summer. Accommodation is also available for carers or family.

There is an on-site hair dressing salon for those who need a little pampering!
