Linson Court

I was very happy with my husbands care at Linson Court. The staff were outstanding - caring, considerate and compassionate. The room was fairly small and plain and the facilities were relatively basic. I also felt the food could be improved but the wonderful staff more than made up for these aspects. Overall I would recommend Linson Court.

My grandad has been there a few weeks now having palliative care. The staff are amazing at taking care of him and making sure the remainder of his life is full of happy memories! They’re very nice to us (his family members) and answer any questions we have whenever we have them. Very thankful for the care they’re giving him.

My father-in-law needed a nursing home after a stay in hospital and could no longer be managed at home. Linson Court which we chose after hearing great reviews has been the best decision we made. Dad needed 24-hour care and we are so happy with the care and support, not only for Dad, but for us his relatives and friends. I can be very honest and say that the carers, staff and every person that takes great care of Dad is so important for not only Dad but for us has a family. We can be reassured that he is getting the best care he needs at this stage in his life.

They do social events a few times a year so that is good for the resident's morale. There are activities for residents that want it. All in all, I'm happy with this care home and I cannot fault it. The staff work really hard to make all residents as comfortable as possible.

Linson Court was exceptional in the care given to my brother-in-law who was admitted to the nursing side of the home from the hospital. The nursing and care staff gave him the 24-hour care that he needed from being a frail man of 89 years of age. Whenever I visited, there was always someone to speak to if I had any concerns. The staff were respectful to the needs of my brother-in-law.

His room was always clean and bed linen changed, he was always in fresh pyjamas as he was in bed or sometimes sat in an armchair. Later on, he was mostly in bed but his position was changed on a regular basis. If there were any problems day or night, I was informed. When my brother-in-law died, I was informed late in the evening. I cannot fault the way Linson Court is run especially by the management.

My Father spent his last six weeks here. The home was clean and comfortable. We were able to hang his pictures and photos up to make it more of a home. The staff were excellent always friendly and considerate of his needs. A garden party was held and even though British weather moved it indoors, he loved the event. The family were always welcome and I was able to stay overnight as he wished.

My father came into the home towards the end of January 2017. It was mainly for the dementia he had but he also had terminal lung cancer. From the very 1st day, he was well treated and staff were attentive to his needs. I have nothing but praise for all the staff and nurses especially towards the end of my dad's life. Only issues I had was I think it is understaffed at times. The room could have done with redecoration and with my dad being a wanderer at night they could have done with a device to let them know when he was up and about, minor things but on the whole very grateful for the care provided. My father died at the end of April 17.

My experience of Linson Court is very favourable. The staff and manager are caring and kind when working with the residents and always seem to have time to talk and encourage. Similarly, they have time for family members who visit and are always keen to assist if issues arise. My sister in Law died in August whilst a resident in the home (my brother still resident at Linson Court). The home were quite outstanding in the care provided during the final days of her life and in the subsequent care provided for my brother during the funeral and the weeks since. We can only speak very highly of the standard of care provided.

The friendly and polite team of carers executed their tasks with care, passion and concern . emphasis was on boosting morale and providing comfort, they work well as a team. At times when I spent the night at my mum’s bedside, they never expressed any negative attitudes when called upon to render assistance. Dietary needs were never a problem , the chefs on duty were always willing to happily assist .

My mother was taken to Linson Court following a fall at home and no choice was given as to her residence at that time. We were asked, when it became obvious Mum wasn't able to cope back at home, if we wanted to move her to a home of our choice. We declined because the standard of care was going to be hard to improve in our opinion. Mum has been looked after with love and dignity by most of the staff and became a family member to others who were nothing short of angels to her. This period of my Mum's life wasn't pleasant for all concerned but the staff at Linson Court made it very bearable and we thank them with all our hearts. I say this from all the friends and family that were involved over the period Mum was resident.

A Very Big Thank You to all involved.

Linson Court is a nice care home. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is ok.

Care staff are lovely. Everything is done to make dads life more comfortable. New manager seems to be a positive step forward. Lovely care home.

Although my father was only in the home for a very short time. He was treated with dignity and respect during the end of life process. The staff were very friendly and approachable and it was obvious they enjoyed their jobs. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I am unable to score many of the options given ie Food & Drink, Activities etc as these didn't apply to my father so I've only marked them as good. Thank you to all at Linson Court.

My mother is residing in this nursing home and we all the family feel comfortable as she is in a safe home. All the staff are caring and took good carer of our mother.

The understanding of residents and needs are very good. The food and diets are very good. Laundry facilities top marks you always have fresh clothes for day and night. All round humour is shown all the time all these things help to quick recovery.

Lovely clean care home with very polite friendly, helpful staff who are very caring. Lovely atmosphere.

Sometimes our neighbour has told us that she has asked to be dressed and go into the communal room to sit, but, seem to disregard her wishes. Sometimes when they ask her, do you understand, that she tells them that she cant be bothered especially if she is not well, but maybe to try and persuade her to dress may be better for her and possibly prevent any future bed sores which may arise.

Dad arrived yesterday from another care home. He got a very friendly welcome and they made him feel wanted. Room lovely with a great view- though it needs a lick of paint.

My stepmother moved into this care home in September 2015 after five weeks in hospital, too thin and fail to go home. Now she can walk again and has put on weight from all the lovely meals. She has an en-suite bathroom which is nice and clean. There is a dining room and lounge with weekday entertainment. I think the staff I've met care caring and polite and the residents are looked after. My dad has now moved in as he needs 24 hour care, he says he likes it. There are two floors dads on the bottom. The carers take him up the lift to have tea with his partner some days but meal times are the busiest. I think we were so lucky to have them put in this home together.

On first impression the property looked clean and smelt homely. Spotlessly clean. Fantastically friendly approachable staff. It seems very person centred environment. This will be my Nanna's new home.
