I visited my mother announced on the 9th and 10th of this month. My overall impression on arrival at around 6 pm was very positive. Meet and greet by staff was very friendly, there was a lack of care home "aura", it was clean, bright and welcoming. My mother looked better than she has done for ages,
and for her age, mentally she was in a good place. She said she was very happy there and regarded staff as "family".
Sunday lunch arrived whilst I was there, and congratulations to the cooking staff, the quality and quantity of the freshly cooked food was superb. I live in Spain and having seen where my mother is being looked after, I do not have to worry anymore. Many, many thanks.

After making the difficult decision to put my mother into a care home, I know that she is now safe and well cared for. She is always very well presented and we, as a family, are always welcomed warmly. The staff are all very happy and cheerful and treat every resident with care and dignity.

I visited my nan today for the second time since she arrived at Linden Manor and the improvements in her are clear to see. This can only be put down to the level of care and support she receives from the staff and although it was very tough initially to see her so emotional, I am so pleased she is at
Linden House as we are starting to see her old personality coming back. Thank you.

The staff are all very friendly and have the best interests of the residents at heart.
Their training equips them for dealing with residents that can sometimes be difficult with the varied illnesses of old age.
Overall, I have been very satisfied with the care my father has received and I would recommend
Linden Manor to anyone who is considering a care home for a relative.

I have found the staff at all times, very helpful, very polite and very honest.
Nothing is too much trouble for any of them. They always attend to things promptly.
They are very hospitable in everything they do. There is always the offer of tea or coffee for visitors as well as residents. The home
is always clean and tidy with a very happy atmosphere.

My mum was a respite service user at Linden Manor for a week in November and I visited on a couple of occasions to organise the respite care and found all the staff very welcoming, caring and professional. The home itself is an impressive building and felt warm, homely and very clean. Mum was made to
feel welcome and I was impressed with how the staff responded to requests for Mum's needs.
When we collected her, she was interacting with other residents and appeared to be happy. In addition, we were given printed photographs showing her smiling and enjoying the activities which were very welcome and showed that she was being well cared for.

My Grandma has been at Linden Manor for a little less than a year and it appears the service she receives is nothing short of exceptional. I live in British Columbia, Canada while my parents live in Ontario, Canada so it makes it very challenging to see my Grandma on a regular basis. Something that
Linden Manor have done for my family since the time she moved in has been to print pictures that we send through e-mail, provide them to her and then send us pictures of my grandma with the printed pictures in her hand, showing the love and joy she has with seeing them. This may seem like a small gesture but for me, it means a great deal as printing pictures here and sending them in the post can take weeks to arrive and can at times get lost. The manager has been particularly helpful in granting my many requests for pictures to be printed and provided and it's been very special to me to see the joy it brings. Thank you to all the staff that help with taking care of my Grandma.

Linden Manor care home is having an upgrade looking lovely. My mother moved in, was on top floor now moved to ground floor and happier, she is very well looked after and enjoys the activities that are offered, not that mum can remember what she has done, but to help this plenty of photos are taken
for looking at after and so family can also see what mum has been doing.
When mum was poorly she was looked after very well and they also informed us straight away, the staff are so good to mum.
Knowing that your loved one is in a safe secure place and meeting all of mum's needs, with a good diet and personal to my mum, with being treated with dignity and equality is a lot off my mind.
Linden Manor staff thank you.

the other residents. My room is very good. I really like being here, it is now my home and my family come to see me.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.586)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.586) out of 10 for Linden Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.686 for Linden Manor is calculated as follows: ( (74 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 102 Ratings = 4.686
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Linden Manor is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Michele (Shelley) Pirie

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2013

I began work in a nursing home and really enjoyed it, but took time off to bring up my family. I began working for Regal Care in 2013. I started off as a carer 2 nights a week as I was a single mother with a young child. I was asked to join the day team and was promoted to a senior position after around 6 months. I enjoyed the role, especially the medication side, and after 4 years, I was asked to go to our sister home and help out, which I did and really enjoyed it, so I requested a transfer. I was then promoted to head of care and enjoyed the role very much, attending the Gold standard framework training and autism training. These are just a couple of examples.


I really like the fact that this company enables me to gain more and more knowledge regarding my job while also being understanding of the fact that I have a young child.


After 4 years at the sister home, I was asked to return to Linden Manor as the Deputy Manager, which I agreed to, and after 2 years became the registered manager. It makes me feel fulfilled in my role when I see how happy and relaxed the residents are. My motto to my staff is this may be where we work, but it is the resident's home. My aim is to ensure that every individual who comes into Linden Manor receives outstanding care.
