Lindridge

We Love You!

I had a stroke 9th November 2020 I was anxious at what the journey would entail and the commitment on my part to enable the best recovery possible before discharge. As I had broken my shoulder and I now walked with a quad stick following my stroke affecting my left side I was well and truly stuffed but had the gusto and drive to improve. A full physio team headed up by one staff member were empowering, starting off with small goals to reach each day and so on which gave me a sense of achievement and accomplishment in building up strength and muscle in my rehab journey and the confidence I gained and my family at being discharged and returning home.

Wonderful, caring and sharing with me. It was a very loving and lovely home. all the staff were so kind to me.

I arrived at Lindridge feeling very unwell and unable to walk after two falls and a five-week stay in hospital. In addition, I felt very angry as I desperately wanted to go home. In a couple of weeks of working with the physio department, making contact with other residents, and becoming involved in a sound programme of activities my attitude changed completely. Almost without exception, the staff attitude was positive encouraging and supportive. I made great progress in learning to walk again mainly due to the skills I encountered with the physio department. I have continued to improve with exercise since coming home.

My stay was very pleasant. The staff and management were very kind and helpful. The food was good and all care was taken with my medication given from time to time. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I would like to thank the staff and management for their help and support during my stay at Lindridge Care Home.

My husband spent three weeks in Lindridge Care Home for respite care. The physio he received was brilliant and by the end of his stay he could walk unaided. However, he developed a serious eye infection which was not picked up by staff. Cleaning of his eye was woeful on a daily basis and he needed urgent A&E treatment and we are awaiting the results of an MRI scan to determine the damage.

My sister went into Lindridge Care home for respite care in November 2022. The staff really got to know her as she was younger than a lot of the residents and really enjoyed talking to them. It was supposed to be 2 weeks respite however her health deteriorated. When the 2 weeks were over she was due to have an appointment with the oncologist the following week and the head nurse realising she was not doing well said they would keep her until after that appointment. I will forever be grateful to the nursing staff for this as the prognosis was not good and they agreed to keep her in the home. Very sadly my sister passed away 2 weeks later. The staff could not have done more for her and our family. The care and kindness they showed us at this very difficult time were amazing and we were so grateful she was there. Thank you so much for all you did for her and our family.

I was treated with dignity at all times. The staff were considerate and friendly again at all times which I had to leave was so sorry to have left. We'll recommend the care home to convalesce.

Most staff were very kind and helpful but a couple of the helpers from an agency were rough in the washing and impatient with me, especially compared to the permanent staff who were mostly lovely. The quality of the food was good but often cold when it was served to me. I did lose a top while I was there - dusty pink, long-sleeved in case it turns up.

Many thanks for all you have done.

From when I was first taken to Lindridge I was treated with great care and kindness. The staff were great and I made many friends during my time there. The physiotherapist worked a miracle with me for which I will be forever grateful. We had many laughs in what could have been a miserable situation. An experience I will never forget thank you all.

I cannot praise Lindridge Care Home enough for the care and support of my mother and the family during her eighteen-month stay there. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she was made to feel loved and a valuable part of the Lindridge family. Well done and keep up the good work up!

Very good experience this home was very comfortable and the staff were very kind, caring and efficient.

Very disappointed with the level of care, the whole experience was not pleasant. Admitted twice to hospital during my stay. I am now full-time in a nursing home. A few complaints were made and we were told by the manager we would receive an apology from the agency staff concerned but we are still waiting. Very, very upset.

Caring and considerate at all times.

I can't thank all the staff enough for all their help and care for my brother who was there for several months, he told me they were so wonderful towards him. when he passed away there was someone with him and that means a lot to the whole family.

The staff did not take the patients' needs into consideration at all and just treated the patients as objects and not important. The rehabilitation side is very poor. I was in there for three and a half months and did not have hardly any rehab or help to improve my situation. I was not happy at all with the care and treatment.

The only negative is that my sibling's dietary requirements (vegetarian) was not catered for/overlooked. Despite managers being drawn attention to it, for some reason my sibling was consistently missed, not being offered healthy, fresh, vegetarian options until the last month of their stay.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Lindridge Care Home. Everyone I met was happy and friendly and made you feel at home. The food was lovely I couldn't get enough of it, the food was absolutely delicious. I loved the TV on the wall. I really enjoyed watching my favourite programme. It was all so nice that I didn't want to go home. The staff made it all so nice.

People are helpful, food outstanding, physio outstanding. Room is fine and comfortable.
