Lindridge

I was very well cared for.

I spent 3 weeks at Lindridge care home whilst a care package was set up to support me while I waited for a long-delayed operation. I was in a lot of pain and my mobility was very limited. I had a pleasant, light and airy room with a toilet and washbasin available. Excellent support from the care staff who were patient, understanding and good-humored. Assistance to maintain family contact. Excellent and varied menu available. A high standard was displayed in all areas and the staff with who I came in contact ensured I enjoyed a comfortable and pleasant stay at Lindridge. Overall I was greatly impressed by my care home experience.

Although I was in isolation for 2 weeks my stay with you was pleasant. The staff were very nice, there were some who were above excellent (but no names). I was not included in activities and I can't say about value for money as I was an NHS patient. For the first week the food was good but the two weeks after it was poor with no taste and hot food was cold, unappetising, and not for healing.

The food was poor.

I was made very welcome and soon got used to the routine. I was taken in a wheelchair to the garden and I took myself for walks along the corridor, which made me feel good again. Physio came to my room to show me what exercises to do.

I spent 23-days in my room, and I was looked after by all the staff, especially the head chef and his workers; the food was fantastic. I looked forward to everyday meals. The nurses were lovely and very helpful and always asked those words, "would you like a cup of tea". Thank you nurses, and thank you all other workers.

My mother was transferred to Lindridge following an operation for a broken hip following a fall at home. The care and support given to my Mum by all staff was exceptional - she was treated with both dignity and respect.

Very good experience. The nursing staff are excellent. The staff are very kind and very friendly from the cleaning staff to very attentive care staff. Management is equally good. Well done.

Staff were excellent. They took great care of me and I came away satisfied.

All good and comfortable. I was resident there for 5 and a half weeks.

All the staff were helpful, considerate and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble for them to assist me. They were all good-humoured and it was a pleasure to be in their company.

Something that irritated me was the lighting arrangements in my room. The switch was too far from my bed and I had to get out of bed walk around the chair to access the light switch. Not good for a 90-year-old. Secondly, the light in the toilet kept switching itself off after 30 seconds plunging me in complete darkness in a windowless room.

It was a great relief to be at Lindridge after a spell in hospital. The room was pleasant, the staff helpful and the food good.

I was sent to Lindridge to recuperate after a hip operation so that I could go back home and look after myself. I live on my own, 96 years old and I was most impressed with every aspect and although isolated in my room, I was well looked after by dedicated, lovely nurses who had been trained to do so. I would not fault them in any aspect.

I'm afraid I did not enjoy my stay due to 14 days of isolation. However, the staff were extremely helpful.

I am a short term resident of Lindridge as I recuperate from illness. The quality and standard of the care provided is superb. It truly helps folk feel safe, cared for and above all - a part of the Lindridge family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lindridge to anyone who needed caring for with that special touch. Lindridge truly goes the extra mile and as a resident, I can speak from direct experience how cared for I feel. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wished their family members to be excellently cared for. To all the professionals, carers and staff I say take a pat on the back from me because it is so well deserved.

Rooms were well maintained and thoroughly cleaned every day. The staff were all very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. Food was good and we had three good meals a day also being diabetic this was catered for. The only gripe that I had is that I went in for rehab and physiotherapy and expected to see a physio every day but that didn’t happen. The physios were community-based and quite often were not seen as out on other calls within the community.

Although I would have liked to be in my own home, I actually enjoyed my stay.

I cannot tell you how kind and considerate all the staff at Lindridge were to my late sister-in-law. She spent the last 20 years of her life there and really enjoyed it. In fact, it was her wish to pass away in the place she called home. The facilities, cleanliness, rooms etc were excellent. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone.

I found Lindridge care and nursing very improved during recent months. We are in a very difficult time, Covid time! After waiting for many months to see my husband, they provided the best possible way, testing and checking, that enabled me to go to my husband's room and I cannot describe to you what an amazing experience I had. The other really amazing experience was my husband's birthday, which the Chef made it very magical for us and also my husband. He made the most interesting food and, with the best presentation. Maybe it was his last birthday!

They made her feel very comfortable and happy despite the pandemic and the difficulties faced by the home. She rarely complains, loves the staff and the food. It is rewarding to see her well nut I wish I could see her inside the home instead of only window visits.
