Lynton Hall Care Home

All members of staff, irrespective of their role, treated my 94-year-old mum with the greatest dignity, kindness and care. Their smiling faces and helpful attitude offered such a friendly and positive atmosphere.

The choice of meals and the quality of food was also excellent.

Very friendly welcome when I first arrived and showed round, with various explanations. For nearly two months now we have had nothing but kindness and are impressed with the care shown by all members of staff.

My mother spent three and a half years in Lynton Hall Care Home. I am very grateful to the staff for their kind and caring treatment of her. Her needs and wishes were attended to in an exemplary manner. Friends and relatives always made welcome. I would be happy to recommend this care home to everyone.

We are happy to recommend them.

I came to England from Australia to place both my parents into nursing care. After only two days of residing in Lynton Hall, my anxiety and fear disappeared. They were happy, well fed and well dressed. The rooms are marvellous. The staff, caring friendly and professional. Their quality of life has improved 100 %. Thank you.

I am very pleased with the placement here.

During her brief stay at Lynton Care Home, my sister has been treated in an extremely caring and professional manner and I have no hesitation in recommending your services.

I would recommend this home to family members/friends if they needed similar care.

My father was a resident for nearly two and a half years with pick's dementia. The care from all the staff during this time was excellent. The staff showed genuine interest, care and warmth. Getting to know and understand his character. My father's health declined from June 2017 and the staff ensured we were fully informed of all that was happening. All staff were immensely supportive during his demise and their care during his death was very much appreciated.

The receptionist who was the first person we spoke to and met was a delight showing us around with warmth and enthusiasm. My parents were treated with concern and good humour where appropriate. My mother turned 80 while there and received a cake which was a very sweet idea. The home was always clean which gave us confidence.

The resident's cats were sweet and at times entertaining. The manager was reassuring and eased my mind at a potentially stressful time by being flexible nursing staff were thorough and caring.

On mum’s birthday, they baked her a cake, decorated her room and made it a really memorable day, which it was, considering how weak she was when she first arrived over a year ago. Heartfelt thanks to you all.

So far all is good. As a suggestion my mother likes salads in the summer, maybe tuna salad with cold potatoes with mayonnaise. She also likes Mediterranean salads with balsamic dressing.

My mother moved to Lynton Hall frail and frightened and confused. She ended her life there peacefully having enjoyed her time in the home - secure and well cared for. The staff were equally caring to the family during her stay and in the difficult process of saying goodbye and clearing her room.

However, without doubt, Lynton Hall is 5 stars in its depth of knowledge, treatment, care and kindness shown to residents and their relatives.

I have visited Lynton Hall virtually every day for the past two years to help one of the residents with her lunch. I have seen all aspects of the home and spoken to its managers, nurses, carers, kitchen staff and cleaners. My impression is of a well administered institution with genuine care shown for all residents. Individuals, many with dementia, are given close personal attention, particularly when eating or needing help with the lavatory. The ladies who give this care are endlessly patient, especially so when dealing with residents who, through no faults of their own, are awkward or bad tempered. I have nothing but admiration for the care given. The beloved lady I visit, who needs help with everything, is beautifully looked after and, within her limitations, tells me she is happy. I cannot ask for more.

My friend came to the care home from the hospital in Feb 2016. She was initially a 'demanding' patient. She had complex health issues resulting in her being confined to bed. Over the months her condition slowly deteriorated. I give every credit to her carers, chef and nurses who made sure she was always comfortable and pain-free. The food was specially cooked for her. Her room was spacious and kept clean.

The food was a bit repetitive but pleasant. And I will be back.

Our friend arrived at Lynton Hall Care Home late in April this year (2016) having spent almost 3 months in the hospital. He was disorientated and unhappy not to be able to go back home. The manager at Lynton Hall Care Home and his team made it possible for us to feel at peace leaving our friend there to live the last of his days. Recently our friend turned 100. The team at Lynton Hall Care Home were AMAZING!! They arranged a beautiful celebration for the 100th birthday, made a cake, prepared snacks, got all other residents dressed up for the occasions, got the Mayor to attend, got an entertainment singing group and harpist to play. AMAZING. I could just carry on. The event was in the local newspaper.

Fantastic presentation of food buffet on open day. Great change for residents and family, change for upstairs residents to spend time downstairs.

My father came to Lynton Hall on 31/12/15 having spent a long time in hospital. Within a few days my stress and anxiety were greatly decreased as I could see the care that was being given to him by all the staff. My father was treated with the utmost kindness and respect by all he staff. The facilities in the home were maintained to a very high standard and dad's special diet was prepared without fuss. I felt staff also cared for my mum and were supportive to her as well.
