Skegness Cottage Hospital was funded by public subscription and was officially opened on 19 May 1913. The hospital was subsequently extended on several occasions. It was later known as the Skegness and District Hospital. The Hospital passed to the National Health Service in 1948.

The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Convalescent Homes were established at Castle Donington for women (1883), and at Seathorne for men (1891) and children (1893). In 1922 it was decided to close the children's home, sell the women's home, and acquire temporary premises in the Skegness area. Major extensions to the men's home [Seely House] were opened in 1928, and a new women's home, Carey House, was opened nearby in 1932. The Convalescent Homes passed to the National Health Service in 1948.

The Hospital and Convalescent Homes were administered 1948-1974 by the Boston Group Hospital Management Committee of the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board.
