Experience from arrival to departure was excellent. We were introduced to the staff on arrival and made my husband feel very welcome. High standards were maintained during the whole of the stay. They identified my husbands needs before the stay and made any necessary adjustments without delay. My husband
was treated with respect by all staff so much so he is looking forward to any future visits, giving me assurance that he will be well cared for in the respite care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An amazing facility that feels like a home from home for myself and my mum. After my reluctance to have my mum in care after a bad experience, I can honestly say that the manager and her team have been amazing and have given my mum a better life and me a more stress-free life. I love coming to visit
every day and seeing her interacting with other residents too. A big shout out to another staff member, she is amazing to both my mum and me, love her. Thanks.

When visiting or telephoning the care home, the staff are always pleasant and helpful. Whenever needing to discuss issues with management, I have found them to be attentive and act readily to deal with issues. The deputy manager has a very understanding, considerate manner and makes people feel at ease
and listened to. The new manager is very understanding and helpful and someone who acts to deal with situations in a calm and considerate manner.

The home is fantastic and has fantastic staff. Nothing too much trouble for residents. Plenty of weekly activities for residents and trips out all through the year. Health care is excellent, all visitors are welcome where possible. All in all, would recommend this home. Writing this review as my loved
one has recently passed away.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The last six months have been difficult for my mother after leaving her own home after 50 years. We were told by the care home staff that it would take weeks for her to settle in. I have found that she is slowly adapting to her new life. She is only around the corner from me and I think this helps.
I find the staff friendly and caring. The most important thing for me is I feel she is safe.
Reply from Carol Pemberton, Manager at Lyndhurst

Thank you for your kind words, this means a lot to myself and the staff caring for your mother. we are glad you feel your mum is safe at Lyndhurst. It does take time for someone to settle in a new place after being at home for so long but are glad to hear she is coming around to the home and is settling well.

Very friendly, staff always approachable and nothing is too much trouble. Exceptional care is given by all staff members. The home is clean and very welcoming. After a couple of respite sessions, mum was happy to go full-time as a resident. I can see she's cared for and staff are sympathetic towards
her when she is confused or frustrated.
Mum's happy so we are happy. Well done to the team. Keep smiling and doing what you're doing.
Reply from Rahi Joshi, Marketing Associate at Lyndhurst

Thank you for your feedback and opinions. We are delighted to learn that your mother is content and at ease here as we always strive to provide the best care for all of our residents. I will let the home team know about your kind words.

All the staff at Lyndhurst are friendly and approachable, any queries I just speak to someone (nothing is too much trouble). Over the past 'mad' 12 months, Mum (and all other residents) have been looked after, cared for and entertained. We (family) have been kept up to date with everything. Been very
grateful for what they have done and for all their help. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this response. We continue to strive to maintain high standards in all aspects of the home, we are happy you feel this way and as always our door always remains open.

Communication regarding Mum has been second to none. Whenever there is a minor issue, slight illness or any other matter this has been communicated immediately. And for the majority of 2020, we were not able to make actual visits, due to COVID and diarrhoea and vomiting outbreak. All through this and
from our previous experience interaction with staff has been nothing but excellent. The staff are brilliant.

My mother was extremely happy during her 6-week stay. She enjoyed the food and activities. The staff were lovely with her.
Help provided with bathing etc. Adequate room but could do with some updating in places.

I live abroad and visit Lyndhurst annually in March. I phone my mother on Sunday evenings and the staff are always very professional, updating me on my mother's condition and taking the phone to my mother so I can try and talk to her.
The manager, staff, pharmacist and nurse practitioner that I see
are always very helpful in keeping me up to date with recent events concerning my mother.
The manager and deputy manager usually email me if there are any urgent concerns.
The manager gave me an update today re my mum.
The staff are very caring when dealing with my mother. I feel very reassured that my mother is receiving such good care.

My Great Aunt received excellent care throughout her stay. From assessment to her recent passing the care and support were excellent from all the staff. Attention to detail for all her needs was second to none. The quality of the staff the cleanliness of the home and sheer hard work by all. The staff
was formidable especially at the end of her life, the care at this time was gratifying. Grateful thanks to all.

I have been visiting for 3 years to see a relative also I have stayed there three times for 5-6 nights so that my daughter and sister in law can have a few days away. They always manage to give me a room if at all possible. The staff from the top down to the domestics are brilliant as you know old people
can be a bit awkward. I think its frustration more than anything. I am 91 and 3/4 and I am one of the lucky ones, I can help myself. The lift is a bonus as I can't manage the stairs. The food I enjoy as I can eat it without complaints.

Visiting the care home 2-3 times a week. I find everything quite satisfactory overall. The staff are very dedicated, hard working and friendly and respond quickly to any queries or problems I have concerning my brother. It is clean and warm but does need some refurbishment to spruce it up. Particularly
the conservatory and outside frontage. Sometimes the lunchtime menu leaves a lot to be desired and the portions overall are small.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.136)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.136) out of 10 for Lyndhurst is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 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 4.786 for Lyndhurst is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.786
  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 4.35 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lyndhurst is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.75
  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.
