Overall Experience

My grandmother has being living at the both the homes by goring care homes. She's is having a fantastic time. The smooth move from one home to another was stress free and very comfortable. She chose to move over to Lyndhurst as a friend of hers had moved in. The company accommodated her request with

no issues. A very friendly family feeling home. Can not recommend them enough to care for your loved ones.

Review from T R (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I was so happy to be recommended Lyndhurst Care Home, the minute I stepped in I knew it was the right home for my mum, she was struggling with loneliness, loss of appetite, personal hygiene and not remembering to take her tablets. Mum now doesn't have any of those worries, the home had taken care of

all of those, Mum has settled so quickly and is so much happier, all the staff are amazing, they make it feel like home and when I visit I am made to feel so welcome with a lovely cup of tea, delicious cake or biscuit. Mum has joined in with the activities and enjoyed her Zumba class today, I feel a sense of huge relief knowing that Mum is being so well cared for, could not recommend Lyndhurst enough.

Overall Experience

Recently there have been many changes happening at Lyndhurst. There have been improvements made in the garden with more planting and tidying, updating of the alarm systems and now the building of a new conservatory. This has all been organised and managed very well by the manager, the staff nurses and

all of the care staff. They have kept us up to date with developments and made sure that all the residents are well cared for during the changes. Everything is done to ensure the comfort, safety and well-being of the residents. Well done and keep up the good work. We appreciate all you do.

Care is excellent. Welcoming happy atmosphere, no matter when we call in to visit. Homely vibes for residents and visitors and nothing is too much trouble. The staff are constantly aware and dealing with any moods etc that may arise for residents. They also stimulate everyone's minds etc with the various

activities keeping the residents happier and healthier. We would and have recommended the home to others.

The staff go way beyond to care for the residents, when visiting they always offer you tea/coffee, they take great pride in their work, the residents take part in the many activities offered by the staff... whenever I arrive to visit my husband they are very understanding, I can’t thank them enough

for the care they have given my husband.

Review from Ian P (Son of Resident) published on 11 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother (96) was very well cared for at Lyndhurst by the manager and her team. Mum, with her dementia, could be difficult at times but she was always treated with great care and respect. She was there for the last six months of her life and I'm confident that she was as comfortable as possible. She

was always very complimentary about the food! Her passing was dealt with with the utmost attentiveness and devotion. Thoroughly recommended.

Overall Experience

I am so impressed with the way the manager and her team have handled the effects of the pandemic at Lyndhurst. The decision was taken to close Lyndhurst to visitors before the first lockdown was put in place. I feel this was a very wise decision. The manager ad her team have been amazing. They are always

welcoming and helpful. A solution to allowing relatives to visit was quickly found. A room was converted solely for this purpose and it works very well. I am very grateful to all the staff.

Lyndhurst is a peaceful house with a lovely garden next to Goring on Thames cricket field, which has rooms for up to 20 people.

It has a 'family' atmosphere, the staff are caring and experienced. There are plenty of activities for the residents. Good food too, creating a cheerful atmosphere. Highly

recommended.

Overall Experience

Nice friendly staff with a nice day room at the front, very clean. Always offering tea/coffee on arrival. Good attention to residents and nice touch giving a birthday card to my uncle. The only thing I could criticise is that I gave my aunt a birthday present for her birthday which has not been found

to this day!

Reply from Aaron Northey-Stevens, Office Manager at Lyndhurst Residential Home

Many thanks for taking the time to send in a kind review for us Katherine. I have passed on the issue surrounding the present to our Deputy Manager and she is going to look into it for you.
