Review of Barchester Lynde House Care Home

Daily Consideration and Respect
My cousin does not take help easily, she is not completely aware of where she is and definitely unaware of the state she is in. She has vascular dementia and she has always been difficult to handle as she is terrified of losing her mental capacity. The sad thing is that she is unaware that she has already lost it. Despite her prickliness, the nurses and carers at Lynde House come and chat to her, all this kindness and respect when sometimes she shouts and yells at them or accuses then of hurting here, but it's not them but herself who is hurting them. Yet they remain so loving towards her.

Review of Barchester Lynde House Care Home

My mother has been at the above home for nearly 9 years. She is 107 years in February 2015, and I'm sure their care has prolonged her life. It is very well managed and the carers/nurses are extremely caring and helpful. They arrange every type of activity to suit all tastes. The food is well balanced and appetising, with variety and choice.

My mother who is now completely bedridden following a bleed into her brain, has received excellent care from the staff of the home and I cannot fault them.

Review of Barchester Lynde House Care Home

This is a care home which absolutely lives up to the description of the facilities and the provision of care which are provided. I went there because i have Prostate Cancer which has resulted in compression of my spinal chord and made me unable to move my legs. The staff were excellent in looking after me and getting me (94 Kg) in and out of bed and onto the commode or my wheelchair as required. The food is good with a choice at every meal and wine is provided if you want it. And if you don't like what is on the menu you can have an egg or cheese and biscuits. Lots of entertainment is provided for the residents such as Bingo, Scrabble, Carpet Skittles and drumming. The Internet is usually available in the rooms but had a fault for the last week I was there. Completely recommended.

Review of Barchester Lynde House Care Home

Lynde House is the only home I would even consider for my husband - and I have seen many. It is exceptional in every way - one feels as if one is visiting a 4 star hotel - so elegant, warmly hospitable, so amazingly caring and with genuine love from all the staff. It is beautifully run, and the staff seem very happy and committed . I love to visit my husband, sit in the lovely gardens, and perhaps have a meal with him. Yes, it is THE BEST.

Unfailing loving kindness from all staff. Management always caring and attentive, always present on site. My husband is so happy at Lynde House he feels secure and loved. The food is wonderful, the dining room a delight and service excellent, all like a 4 star hotel. I love to eat there. The gardens are a dream, so lovely to sit in the sun in beautifully cared for flowers. Many of my friends have relatives at Lynde House it is quite simply the best.

Review of Barchester Lynde House Care Home

We are very grateful to Lynde House for coming to our rescue under very difficult and unexpected circumstances when both parents had strokes 5 days apart. The hospital would not release them back to the own home. The staff have all been very supportive and helpful in this difficult situation for which we are extremely grateful. We would recommend this nursing home to anyone without hesitation.
