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.

Just to say a big thank you to all the staff there are Linden Lodge.

The staff care for a resident like they are a member of the family.

The staff were so helpful and kind. The nursing home was very clean and well maintained.

Having moved my mother at the grand old age of 88 from her home in Ireland to Lindon Lodge, I can only say how thankful I am for the care, attention and affection given to my mother for what was to be her final 6 months. The standard of care given made my mother feel comfortable despite early dementia setting in which would otherwise have left her feeling vulnerable and confused. I was made to feel like one of their family, from reception to cleaning, from the carers, nurses and the matron - I couldn't have asked for a better place. The home has exceptionally high standards with everything from cleaning to food, from caregiving to respect. The carers and nursing staff are both attentive and non-intrusive all the same time. I will never forget the first sentence my mother said when having her first "welcome" cup of tea - "I know it's not home, but it feels like home". Knowing my mother was so well cared for and content made the world of difference to both of us.

Great hard-working staff.

We couldn’t recommend Linden Lodge highly enough, our mother was in Linden Lodge for end of life care, and the care was absolutely marvellous and their care for the family too was brilliant, I hope when I need care there is still a place like Linden Lodge. The place and grounds are beautiful and very clean, the residents are very well cared for and also lots of activities available. Well done Linden Lodge.

My ninety-three-year-old mother, who has a complex medical history is receiving the most wonderful nursing care at Linden Lodge. The home is professionally run, has trained, approachable, friendly staff and is spotlessly clean and secure. The rooms are extremely comfortable and homely, and the food freshly prepared - can't fault it. Well done!
