  • 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.

This is the first care home for my husband. I was pleased on the reception we had. I found it very modern and up to date and it lifted my spirits. The reception staff were really friendly and put me and my daughter who came with me at ease. Now my husband is in a routine, he's settled down nicely and
every possible thing is done to make him feel comfortable. The nursing staff are wonderful to him - top marks to them, and also the staff who always welcome us.

This is the first time my dad has been in a home. It's been a very weird experience, you have highs and lows and it's very emotional at times. The care is excellent, the staff are very kind and friendly. The reception staff are kind, dad has settled in very well. I feel I could talk to any of the nursing
staff if I feel dad dad had not had a good day.

My aunt come in for 2 weeks respite care. The managercame to our home to assess my auntie at a time to suit us. My aunt was booked in to have her hair done on arrival to avoid distress (so she wouldn't be upset seeing me leave).
She was looked after well during her stay.
The manager kept her an extra
day to help us out with picking her up.

Having felt that I have lost my wife to Alzheimer's at an early age, I found it very hard. Linden House and all the team have given myself and my family the confidence and reassurance that we desperately needed. I would highly recommend Linden House to anyone. I can't thank them enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.829)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Linden House 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.829 for Linden House is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.829

  • 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 House is based on 19 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 19 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.
