Linden Lodge is a well-run establishment which provides an excellent care team who make the home feel like a home whilst being very professional in their individual care packages. Delicious food, cooked fresh daily. I felt my mother was in a very safe environment and extremely well cared for. Communication
with Linden Lodge was second to none. Can't thank them enough.

Linden Lodge looked after my brother so well. He loved it there, even at the end as his life was going, the staff stayed with him and comforted and cared for him at his end of life. Cannot speak too highly of the staff and everyone at this care home. Fantastic group of people who are dedicated to caring
and making everyone as happy as they possibly can.

The care at Linden Lodge is above excellent. The staff go beyond the call of duty and do so many varied activities for the residents to keep them occupied mentally and physically.
Self-funded so, obviously, being charged a lot - but that is the system which needs to be looked at!

I came in mid-January, very tired and had had 2 falls. My husband was in here too with terminal cancer, sadly he died in March. Everybody has been so kind and supportive and I am so much better after all the good food that I am able to go home now.

My husband entered Linden Lodge when I was unable to nurse him at home. He was cared for by Linden Lodge for just over a year. During this time he was treated with dignity, humility, empathy, and humour. As my husband's condition deteriorated I felt totally included and informed of all our choices.
A truly 'safe pair of hands'.

I live 200 miles away but each occasion I have visited my mother I am reassured. Along with my family, I visited Linden Lodge before my mother moved in and was impressed with the rooms, building and surroundings. Care is more important though and I have been very happy with the care and attention that
my mother has received from Linden Lodge.

My Dad was a resident for 2 years, as a family, we are so grateful for the Kindness, understanding and support from all the staff.
My Dad, was quite a handful when he arrived at Linden but they persevered with him and in time he settled in and I can honestly say I feel he felt at home there.
We will
never be able to thank you enough for your support in his last days you looked after him and us as a family and for that, we will be eternally grateful.

My dad was only at Linden Lodge for a few days before he passed away. The nurses and care staff couldn't have been any nicer, they treated us very well with lots of consideration. My dad was always given the most dignity and passed away very peacefully.

My Uncle spent the last eighteen months of his life at Linden Lodge. He settled very well, was very happy and enjoyed watching the many activities that went on around him. His last Christmas he seemed happier than in many years. He was always well cared for and enjoyed the meals provided.
Thank you
to all the staff who cared for him and I would have no hesitation in recommending Linden Lodge Nursing Home.

Grandma came to Linden Lodge Nursing Home after several falls at home. She came in for respite whilst her broken leg healed. Once she was better and able to walk again, she was able to go home but she wanted to stay. She said she was well cared for, the staff are lovely and she is very well fed.
It was also peace of mind for all the family as they were called out several times during the night when she was at home or found on the floor in the morning having fallen again. Although she likes to watch TV in her room on her own, if she can be encouraged to join in with the many activities that go on, she does enjoy them. She always walks to the dining room for breakfast and lunch but enjoys her tea in her room watching TV.

Every time I visited, I saw my mother slowly deteriorate in health. Everyone at Linden Lodge was trying to help her to be as comfortable as possible and I was given clear information on her routine right to the very end of her life.

It is difficult to express adequately the gratitude which I and my family feel for the love and care shown to my mother at Linden Lodge. The nursing care was exemplary with her condition continually assessed, reassessed and addressed accordingly. She became very fond of all the staff, nurses, carers,
cleaners, after the care and kindness shown to her. It was a great burden off our shoulders and a source of enormous comfort to know that she was happy and so well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.773)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.773) out of 10 for Linden Lodge Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 65 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 65 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.773 for Linden Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (595 Excellents x 5) + (147 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 754 Ratings = 4.773

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Linden Lodge Nursing Home is based on 65 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 65 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
