Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Lyndale Nursing Home: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for Lyndale Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 24 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Lyndale Nursing Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.738 for Lyndale Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (224 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.738
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lyndale Nursing Home is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 5 positive Reviews (25 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 7 Reviews ÷ 5 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Lyndale Nursing Home has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) from 24 Reviews

I have been at the Lyndale Nursing Home receiving respite care for 6 weeks after a spell of 4 weeks in Southport Hospital due to a fall in my home where I knocked myself out. I have received excellent care and kindness at the Lyndale. All the staff are so kind, caring and the food is wonderful, like 5-star Hotel standard. I am so much better since I have been here. I could hardly walk with Zimmer frame when I first came but now I can walk steadily when using a Zimmer frame. I am sad to say goodbye to all these lovely people and I will always appreciate the love and care I have received from everyone here.

My mum has been in Lyndale Nursing Home for two years after having a big stroke.
Lyndale is in a nice area close to a lovely park and not far from the beach.
She has a nice en-suite room which overlooks the lovely garden which is user-friendly.
The staff are all very helpful and have helped her regain most movement. She is given appropriate mashed food as she has choking problems. We are always made welcome when we visit.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Brenda M (Resident) on Friday 12 January 2018. Relates to December 2017.
I became a resident in Lyndale Nursing Home in December 2016. Admitted with extremely swollen ulcerated legs and various other health problems, very depressed having not been to bed for 4 1/2 months, hair not washed and hygiene poor. Now in December 2017, I am a totally different person, thanks to the care, kindness and love I receive here. Nothing is too much trouble, even today arranged by the staff here I have just had a care review and hope to start walking. I came in wishing to die, but now look to a new future. My thanks are to all at Lyndale.

My mother was a resident at Lyndale from February 2016 until April 2017 when she died. The care she received from all of the staff was second to none. My family were included in all decisions concerning Mum and the staff telephoned us immediately if there were any concerns. We felt we shared our mother's last fourteen months of care and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. In mum's last few weeks, which were very difficult, Mum was able, through amazing nursing, to pass with dignity and our family had the most amazing support ever. Thank you.

My husband, aged 74 has an inoperable brain tumour and now cannot move by himself, care for himself or eat by himself. This home keeps him comfortable, warm and well cared for. The staff are all kind, understanding and cheerful and the home is warm. He enjoys the excellent food - his only real pleasure.
I can visit at any time and am always treated in a friendly way. The home did everything possible to make Christmas a joyful time.
I am happy and relieved he is in this home because I wasn't able to give him adequate care at home.

Lyndale Nursing Home is an incredibly warm and welcoming place. They are a small team of wonderfully dedicated and caring staff and my father-in-law has been treated impeccably since he has been residing here.
He has been cared for with dignity and his wife is welcomed by the staff as she visits every day. Our family is confident that he is as safe as he can be there and I would not hesitate to recommend.

My mum resided at Lyndale Nursing Home for the last 3 weeks of her life. During this time, she was treated in a caring and dignified way. I could not have placed mum in a more suitable home for her final weeks. They had the experience to cater for all mum's needs and I was reassured that mum was in safe hands at the times when I was not there. The staff and management showed respect and understanding to us as a family at a very difficult time.

My mother has been resident at Lyndale Nursing Home for nearly a year. Her care has been excellent at all times and nothing is too much trouble. They organised a 100th birthday party for her and all her relatives which was excellent and my mother really appreciated the time they spent in preparing the food and supplying her with a lovely cake. The management, matron and staff all take care of mum to the highest standard.

My mother has resided at Lyndale for 17 years and I have found her care provision to be of a very high standard.
Staff are friendly, courteous and helpful.
The care staff provide a good service for my mother, despite her disagreeable temperament at times. Lyndale has a warm and inviting atmosphere with no evidence of "off-putting" aromas at any time when I have visited. I am very happy with her placement and the care and attention provided. My only criticism is clothing sometimes goes astray.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Christine A (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 27 January 2017. Relates to January 2017.
My father was admitted from the hospital in October 2015. He was very ill and possibly about to 'pass on'. The caring, excellent nursing care that he received brought him back to us and he is now back to strength, cheerful and participating in the many activities that the Lyndale Nursing Home provides. He enjoys the carefully prepared, varied diet and is now eating with enthusiasm which was not the care in 2015. All the staff and the owner know every resident and my father is treated as an individual who is well-respected. On Remembrance Day, which he at 91 watched with sorrow, a member of staff sat with him for the two-minute silence. They knew what he felt and cared. I have no hesitation in recommending the Lyndale Nursing Home. All of our family’s life has been enhanced because of their care.

My mum has been a resident in Lyndale Nursing Home for over 2 years. The staff are friendly and professional and her care has been excellent. Mum is always clean and well presented (which is very important to mum). Mum has lots of visitors and they are always made to feel welcome by the staff. Dad visits mum every day and the staff have been wonderful with him too, including him in everything (including Christmas Day). Mum's medical and emotional needs are all catered for at Lyndale Nursing Home and I would recommend it to everyone.

My father has been a resident at Lyndale for over a year now. I have found the staff to be excellent. They are caring, friendly and contribute a great deal to my father's overall comfort and well-being. The rooms are nice and I always find dad to be clean and content when I visit. Dad suffers from occasional seizures I have found the nursing staff to be excellent.
He is well cared for. We are always well informed by the very competent and pragmatic staff. I would have no hesitation in recommended the Lyndale to anyone considering nursing care for a loved one.

My mother (88-years-old) entered Lyndale Nursing Home on the 1st November 2016. She was in a poor state and confused after leaving hospital. It is now January 2017 and there is a big improvement in my mother's health and wellbeing. I put this down to the care and attention of the staff at Lyndale Nursing Home. Any problems or concerns are dealt with very promptly. The place is very clean and tidy. The food they prepare for my mother is fantastic. I would not hesitate in recommending Lyndale Nursing Home to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Margaret E (Daughter of Resident) on Saturday 27 August 2016. Relates to August 2016.
My frail 92-year-old mother came to Lyndale after having been very poorly. She was warmly welcomed by the staff, has quickly settled in and is building up her strength. On her first whole day in the nursing home, she was washed in a bath from head to toe and every care has been taken, for example, to make sure her bottom remains in a good state. The qualified nursing staff seem particularly observant and attentive to her needs. The food is freshly prepared by the cook in situ and is adapted to the needs of my mother. No mass catering system here, thankfully! Whilst her room is on the small side it is very clean and given the high standard of old fashioned nursing care, overall, I have no complaints from the first 4 weeks. I feel comfortable leaving Mum is in very good and kind hands here. I have not met the owner yet but can see from the spick and span upkeep of the house and gardens and ongoing capital investment that he is a proud owner with a focus on quality.

My husband went into the Lyndale Nursing Home for 2 weeks respite care, we were welcomed in the car park by the matron and staff and wev both completely spoilt over the next two weeks. The kindness and care that my husband received was exemplary. The cleanliness and upkeep of the room, home and grounds were exceptional.
All my husband's needs were met wth dignity and respect and I was able to have my lunch and tea with him and the food was excellent. They made us feel welcome, safe, respected, supported and happy. No problems in highly recommending Lyndale.

My mum has been in the nursing home for 3 months following her stroke. It is situated in a nice location a short distance from the park. She has a pleasant room overlooking the garden and is quite comfortable. The staff are very caring and helpful. They will answer any queries we may have. My mum is always clean and dressed nicely and encouraged to sit in her chair. They have helped her to try to walk with a zimmer frame. The meals are always appetising.

My 95 year old mum has only been a resident at The Lyndale for 2 months, but she is settled in extremely well and is very happy. The care and support given to her by all the staff has been excellent. She is treated with dignity at all times and everyone is friendly and helpful. The residence has a very homely feel and her room is very comfortable, clean and bright. All her needs are being met including the food which is of an excellent standard and tailored to her specific requirements.

My mother has been a resident at The Lyndale for two and a half years. At all times her care has been excellent, the staff are friendly and very caring. The matron and other management team members have shown excellent care to my mother and to her family. They organised a very special party for her 100th birthday which was much appreciated by her nephew and nieces who were able to attend. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Lyndale to anyone looking for a safe and caring home for a member of their family.

My mum has been in Lyndale since the middle of August. All the staff have been extremely helpful to settle mum in. All her needs are catered for. The home is very clean and meals are nutritious and mum is regaining a little of her appetite as a result. Hairdressing and nail sessions have given mum her dignity back after a long stay in hospital. Very good that visiting is open as family members all working. Mum has high needs and all the staff meeting her needs and aware of them. Consulting salt team at the moment on our behalf. Also good having regular chats/updated with staff to see how she's been between visits. Super environment.

Lyndale is a caring and well run home. We moved mum to Lyndale from another home where her needs were not met. Thank goodness we did, despite Lyndale being an old building, it was clean, fresh and welcoming. The staff are so kind and attend to all the residents needs. Since mum has been there she has put on a little weight, her bed sores are healing and most importantly she is no longer anxious. Her contentment is all we could ask from such a wonderful family and caring staff.
