  • Linden House, Lymington
Linden House breaks new ground while building on the traditional charm of its seaside location in Lymington.

Residents enjoy companionship and can join in with singing, music, exercise and arts and crafts sessions. There is the opportunity for gentle gardening activities in the summer sunshine, and there is a busy pen pal scheme.
The home is registered for nursing care and staffed by dedicated nurses and health care professionals with extensive experience in caring for age-related conditions and fully trained in infection control.

Purpose-built to reflect the latest thinking in dementia care and memory loss, it is welcoming, elegant and calm and is confident in its ability to provide a stimulating and safe life for residents.

In a setting where the New Forest meets the coast, the design carefully replicates features of a traditional town, evoking fond memories and a sense of comfortable familiarity for all residents.

Very happy and pleased with all aspects of Linden House. Top quality facilities, caring and friendly staff, always receive a warm welcome on visit. I can rest in the knowledge my step-father is in safe hands and well looked after. A true home from home experience for our family. Thank you so much!

The family have always had a pleasant welcome into the nursing home ever since we started visiting my husband there. (Father and Grandfather)
The grandchildren love visiting and looking the small room with the toys, plus a piece of cake.
Nothing is too much trouble and there is always a person on
hand if we have any questions that need answering.
Thank you.

Whilst all staff are most helpful, I would say that feedback regarding any queries I may have with regards to my father's care is sketchy at best. Information is not really at hand e.g has my father been taken out for daily walks as requested? Answer - unknown. Is this not part of the care plan - immediate
answer should be yes without question or why am I paying £5000 a month. If I wasn't there pushing, what would happen to my father? Worrying indeed. Nursing staff are excellent as is front of house.
Reply from Elaine Farrer, Operations Director at Linden House
Thank you for your comments about the arrangements for care at Linden House. With regard to your father, his care plan and the extent of his mobility, I understand that you tend to receive information…read more

My lovely neighbour sadly has worsening dementia and is unable to take care of his everyday needs, residential care is necessary where he is safe and well looked after. Every need is catered for and how lovely it is to take him out for coffee all within the home.

On arriving at Linden House my wife and I were made most welcome after meeting the management and staff, we were shown to our room which was most delightful, tastefully furnished and well decorated, good storage and a very nice wet room. The staff are very caring and friendly nothing is too much trouble.
The food is excellent and very well cooked by a great chef. The staff in charge of activities are good at organising events for residents and a well maintained garden to sit or wander around. All in all very good indeed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is well looked after, both she and her room are always clean despite the fact she has incontinence issues. The staff show her great respect and are always kind to her. My mother appears to be very contented here, unlike the previous home she was in where she was in and very unhappy and where
the staff were very impatient and always complaining about her. Both my brother and I look forward to visiting her. All the staff at all levels are marvellous they cannot do enough for us when asked. I can also rest well knowing my mother is receiving excellent care in her final years,

I have been very impressed with the care provided for both my Mother and my Mother-in-Law. The building was purpose-built for dementia residents 3 years ago and is arranged into secure units that are well decorated. The staff are very nice and treat the residents with respect. Visiting relatives are
offered refreshments and if you are there at meals times you can have lunch or dinner with them in either the dining area or their own room.

Linden House impressed me from the start with the dignity they afford residents, the cheerfulness of the staff and the range of activities. The receptionist embodies it all. This month the magnificent lady who cares for my mother uncovered a medical problem with her. The compassion and patience with
which she dealt with her (and all the family!) and her persistence with the doctors brought a lump to my throat. She is coming in on her day off to take her to the doctors. Her carer is one in a million and I thank the stars every day she looks after my mother.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had to move into Linden House last year when her dementia made it impossible for her to stay in her flat. I live far away, in Cape Town, and found it very traumatic visiting Mum in December. What made it so much easier though was seeing her wonderful new home. Linden House is beautiful
and the loving, caring staff go out of their way to make both the residents and their families feel special. You are all angels! I knew that although I was having to leave her, I had the peace of mind that she was in the best place possible. Thank you so much to the Linden House family. I really appreciate everything you are doing for Mum.

We have found the staff to be caring, professional and friendly in helping my mum to settle in at Linden House. The home has excellent facilities and my mum's room is lovely with a view of the garden. We couldn't ask for a better environment for my mum to be cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care my sister received in the last few months of her life was exceptional. All of the staff at Linden House went out of their way to help both her and us as a family. They were always kind and nothing seemed to be to much trouble. There was a wealth of activities to join in with and there was
always lots of laughter and fun. Even when she was confined to her room in the last weeks of her life the staff were always happy to sit and chat with her. As a family, we are all very grateful to everyone and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for somewhere for their loved ones to stay.

Linden House is a bright cheerful place. The professional staff, from reception to nursing, give a reassuring feel to the home. Staffing levels seem high and it is always possible to find an appropriate person to discuss matters with. Residents are clearly well cared for and treated with friendly respect.

Despite the very different needs of each resident, the staff always provided outstanding care to each, as soon as needed and did everything to make them comfortable, content and enthused about life. As well as helping them when distressed by their condition or in need of confidence building. The experience
and qualifications of the staff seemed paramount in this as they calmly and professionally coped with whatever situation often somewhat unpredictable in dementia cases occurred. The outstanding team spirit of staff members also played importantly in this.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.851)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.851) out of 10 for Linden House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.851 for Linden House is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.851
  2. 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 House is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
