I hadn't seen my cousin in some years and recently visited her at Linwood for the first time. Looked so much better than the last time I saw her. She was well dressed, happy and settled. She has a lovely relationship with staff, who looked after her very well. The home is clean, well cared for and food looked good. The manager welcomed me, showed me around and it was clear how well managed the home was.
There is a lovely calm feeling about the place and my mum seem much happier and content.

Linwood is a caring and friendly home which always appears clean inside. My mother has been a resident for 3 years and has always been treated with kindness and respect. Especially when she had a fall and fractured her hip. The food looks tasty and appetising.

Recently my mother needed both medical care and help with loneliness and low mood and her carer went the extra mile to make it happen, when I know those resources are really stretched.
Thanks to everyone!
I continue to be very happy with the care Mum receives at Linwood. She is always happy there and has really good rapport with the staff. The management are always receptive to concerns and there's a really good range of activities.

I feel comforted to know she had spent her last few months clean, happy and continually cared for at Linwood. Mum always had a smile on her face whenever I visited. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to future guests or residents.
This was a very fortunate recommendation given and for which I am very grateful. Not difficult to say it is a well-run establishment with efficient and conscientious staff. Virtually impossible to complain about anything.

Mum came to Linwood in October 2023 and has settled extremely well, more than we ever thought possible! All staff have been kind, caring and very attentive; it is clear that they take the time to get to know the residents and their individual needs and preferences. They make the effort to understand each other as a person and treat them as they would their own family. Once when passing a room close to Mum I overheard a lady talking to the resident inside and assumed it was a family member, I was surprised to see it was a staff member, her manner was so warm and caring. The home is very approachable answers every query I have promptly, and contacts me with updates. The home is decorated to a high standard and conducive to a calm and pleasing environment. Mum's room is spacious and pretty with a large en-suite shower room. After years of angrily telling me she would never go into a home, she now thanks me for finding this place for her! She also loves the food, amazing for a picky eater!
Friendly, comfortable and most very friendly staff. Very clean environment. Thank you for looking after so well.

He had a fall and injured his leg which has been very swollen - at the same time he had bleeding from his right ear.
He was not at all well and the home was so caring of him. A particular staff member was on duty and her care and knowledge were invaluable in helping him recover. My sincere thanks to her.
I have come over from Australia to spend some time with my father. I have found the care he is receiving to be first-class. All the care workers have great patience and show enormous kindness. They only have the best interest of the residents at heart.

My mother has been a resident of Linwood for 2 years. I frequently visit my mum and over the last two years, there has been a transitional improvement in all aspects of Mum's care. I find the staff, their attitude, their caring nature and upbeat humour in dealing with the residents on the ground floor a pleasant and rewarding experience when I visit. I have peace of mind knowing my mum is safe and sound at 'Linwood'.
