Review from Mark G (Brother of Resident) published on 28 October 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My relative has been at The Links Care Centre for nearly 2 years. I cannot thank them enough. The management and the entire nursing team are really doing a great job in looking after my relative with complex mental and health issues. The place has improved and looking amazing. I am forever grateful.

Review from Julie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 September 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
According to Mum, not an entirely happy stay. The food was disappointing. She spent most of her week's respite in her room. On the day my brother and I picked her up to bring her home, we were left on the porch, (we both had negative lateral flow results). Could hear Mum crying and was very distressed as she couldn't understand why we didn't go up to her room to collect her. Took a while to calm her down.
↩Reply from Yolanda Farrell, Manager at Linkfield Court Residential Care Home
Thank you for your review and we are sorry that Mom has stated to you she felt the way she did. However, during Mom's stay she was asked every day by the carers if she was OK or if there was anything she needed or would like to be different because the care team were aware that Mom could be anxious...

Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident for a number of years now.
During this time the staff have been absolutely brilliant in all aspects of caring and making my mother's stay really homely.

I cannot praise this home and staff highly enough for everything they have done to improve my mother's life.
