Review from David W (Brother of Resident) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My sisters been a resident at Links for the past 17 years. In that time I have seen many changes in staff and management however the high standard of care my sisters received continues to be of the highest standard. The Lodge feels much more like a 'home' with a friendly informal atmosphere. The staff have been wonderful carers/friends to my sister for many years. I would highly recommend the lodge for anyone looking for a residence for their family members.
