The care provided has been tailored to her individual needs and additional support has been provided by external agencies when required. I have spent my career in healthcare and I am hugely impressed by the service and care provided at Linwood. Thank you.
Care staff are professional and friendly. They take time to keep me updated about my mother on a regular basis.

I am pleased with the care provided for my father. The Linwood staff always appear to be engaged and happy to help. My father's room occasionally smells of 'drains' but I have asked about this and I believe it is being dealt with (no smell on 11/05/2024)

Generally very good care. Laundry is a major issue, had to buy more underwear again and often given the wrong clothes!

Thank you for taking the time to review Linwood and I am pleased you rate our care/support as very good. I apologise for the issues with laundry that you have outlined. I have discussed your feedback with our Laundry team and provided you with an update. I will keep checking in with you to ensure that this issue doesn't reoccur.
After just two weeks of residence in Linwood my friend is in great spirits each time I speak with him, and is very settled after such a short time and such a major adjustment. The whole team is so kind to him and also to me, and have made the whole moving-in process extremely easy. His room is...
On behalf of my friend and myself, thank you to the whole team.

Whenever I go to the home I am always greeted with a smile - which is always welcome. The staff seem to genuinely care for the patients/residents at the home. My great-aunt is 96 years old and they treat her with dignity, care, and attention. Always talking to her, making sure she is fed, watered, and can be as active as she wishes to on any one particular day. They listen to the residents!
Very caring and kind, also good relationship with residents. My husband has been here for almost three years and has been very comfortable and well looked after which gives me peace of mind.

A very positive experience visiting my sister and brother-in-law. The staff are very helpful and considerate to the care of my family members have always had a good experience at Linwood on all my visits to Linwood. My experience has been very positive.

Because of the urgency of finding my mother a home placement and my lack of visiting other homes in the past, I did not know what to expect at Linwood. I have been very impressed with the care, kindness, patience and understanding that everyone has shown towards my mother and, indeed, towards...
I am also aware that the amount of paperwork, inspections and rules to follow cannot be easy to accomplish in such a busy home.
Well done to all.
Mum is treated with respect and dignity. Staff are so very helpful and occasionally when I drop to see her, she is always having a laugh with her carer.

My mother-in-law was at Linwood for nearly four years and she was very well cared for by the staff. It is a lovely home with a wonderful atmosphere and the staff are amazing. She was always clean and tidy and well looked after. They welcomed my mother-in-law back after a long hospital stay where she was put on an end of life care plan. The staff did everything they could to enable her to return, for which we will always be grateful, even though she had many additional needs. She wanted to go back to Linwood and we were so pleased this was able to happen. Everyone was incredible and looked after her so well during this very difficult time until she passed away in May 2023. They were very kind and always kept in touch regarding her well-being and were a great support to us. I would highly recommend Linwood Care Home.
They are fantastic with Dad too, when he comes to visit. Very personal and sympathetic. Love this place.

They go out of their way to ensure my mother has the best possible care.
If she needs anything they always let us know.
As she is elderly and has dementia she can be extremely challenging at times but they always do their best to settle her. She always appears content, happy, clean and well-groomed.
Her room is always very clean as well as the home itself.
My mother has a very difficult, controlling demanding partner who thinks he knows the best for my mother and they deal with him in a very professional manner. They always state that my mother is their priority and will always do what is best for her even when he thinks he is correct.
We sadly had to remove my mother from her home as she needed a lot more care and attention.
My father was a resident for fifteen months at Linwood. The home provided comfortable surroundings with pleasant staff and compassionate care in his final weeks.

The care of my aunt has been first-class and very personal. A connection is formed between her and the Linwood team, we certainly appreciate the steps taken to make her comfortable.

I've been particularly impressed since the most recent manager has come on board with the very real efforts that have been made by all staff to cater to my mother's personal quirks and to her sometimes difficult moods. Communication between staff and family members has also improved a great deal.
Since pandemic restrictions have lifted, the range of activities and outings have also been very impressive!
I would definitely recommend this care home.
