  • The Lindsay Care Home, Poole
The Lindsay is a care home offering nursing, residential, dementia and palliative care.

Short stays and day care are offered to help both carers and their elderly loved ones at times when they need a break or a little extra support.

Rated 'Good' by the CQC (August 2025), The Lindsay is situated a few minutes from the centre of Westbourne and all its amenities – shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. The home has a cinema and café as well as lounges, a library and private dining areas for family and friends to come and enjoy when visiting their loved ones or celebrating a birthday or anniversary together.

This home also benefits from an onsite beauty salon, with a full-time hairdresser offering a brilliant service to all the residents.

At The Lindsay, staff take great care to focus on the person. It’s important for residents to feel at home, so it creates a friendly environment with an individually appropriate balance of care and independence.

The chefs create well-crafted menus made with the freshest ingredients. Soon after a resident arrives at The Lindsay, staff discuss their personal preferences and dietary needs with them.

There’s a real sense of community at the home. The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests.

The Lindsay has an overall atmosphere of friendliness and care amongst the staff. The ground floor facilities look excellent and I look forward to the residents being enabled to enjoy them. This is a difficult time for me, having lost my wife from our home and I know that you will care for her well.
Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at The Lindsay Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We too hope that your loved one will soon be enjoying the ground floor facilities. Thank you again for taking the time to leave us your feedback.

All the staff are courteous, kind and professional, led by an excellent manager. I can't thank them enough for their hard work and care they provided in looking after my sister in the last months of her life. Everyone is so dedicated and supportive, friendly too. Nothing is too much trouble and I greatly
appreciate everything they did for my sister and me, especially during such a difficult time. Thank you.

The last year has been so hard for many people but having my mum in a care home not being able to see her in person has been even more so, but the lovely staff at The Lindsay have been amazing in helping me to see my mum on Skype the in pod and finally in her room. Professional and so caring always
keeping my mum safe and always following all the guidelines. Thank you.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Difficult to assess due to lockdown, but many of Mum's personal belongings such as photographs are missing since we were last allowed to visit rooms. Christmas present that were sent in seems to be missing too such as a cardigan and blouse. Shame garden facilities can't be used and shortage of parking
spaces. Realise this can't be addressed, but perhaps something to be considered for future homes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been in The Lindsay since July 2018. I can honestly say, Mum, is so content and happy at The Lindsay. She has a lovely room with all her special items around her. All the staff are caring and very supportive to residents and family members, which I find so reassuring. The activities are fun
and keep everyone busy and entertained; they’re a great team, like all the other departments. During this last year, it has been very hard for everyone, not being able to see Mum like before was so difficult, but everyone at The Lindsay made it possible to Skype, go in the pod and from today, I had a room visit, which was amazing and so emotional. Thank you to the home manager and all staff for making The Lindsay home from home.
Reply from Melanie Cope, Customer Service Adviser at The Lindsay Care Home

We thank you sincerely for taking the time to leave such a beautiful and touching review. We are so glad mum is happy, content and well entertained in our care. We are so pleased we can slowly begin visits again and assist in reuniting loved ones. We will be sure to pass your incredibly touching words on to staff at The Lindsay. If there is absolutely anything we can do for you and mum to make the experience even better, please do not hesitate to let us know!

Review from Doreen W (Wife of Resident) published on 8 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At this time in my husband's residency at The Lindsay, it was becoming more obvious that his dementia and physical condition were making him less able to do many activities. However the staff continued to encourage him to participate in his favourite activities, sing-songs and physio sessions in particular,
and he greatly enjoyed eating in the restaurant at lunchtime. I am now a member of The Lindsay Family, and once this awful time has passed, I shall look forward to seeing my friends among the residents, staff and relatives of those who have left us behind. The loving and highly professional yet compassionate care for all who live at The Lindsay is a credit to the whole of the staff who form the Family that is The Lindsay. Thank you.

My dad went into this wonderful care home after a hospital stay and due to the Covid virus quarantine. From the outset, we were kept informed of Dad’s condition and given contact details. When calling I spoke to Dad’s nurse who was kind, friendly and was happy to keep us up with Dad’s progress.
We
were lucky to be granted permission for a visit and to be able to hold Dad’s hand, tell him we loved him and say goodbye means the world to us.
The level of care is exemplary! The staff are highly professional, friendly and the love afforded to my dad is a comfort to us. You must and should be very proud to have this care home. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.694)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.694) out of 10 for The Lindsay Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 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 22 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 4.694 for The Lindsay Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.694
  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 The Lindsay Care Home is based on 22 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 22 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.

Ian

Ian Dunthorne

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2024

My name is Ian and I joined The Lindsay as home manager in December 2024.


I live locally to the home although I am from Bedfordshire originally.


My mother was a home carer for the local authority and then a warden controlled village, which first introduced me to the world of elderly care. I then worked as a care assistant for the local authority myself and became interested in rehabilitation aspects of geriatric care and this led me to train as a physiotherapist. I made a departure from clinical physiotherapy and returned to geriatric residential care management.


I worked as a home manager for Bupa for 7 years before moving to New Zealand and subsequently worked as a general manager for Bupa New Zealand for 11 years. As I got older, I felt the pull to return to my home country and moved back to the UK towards the end of 2024.


My passion is travel. I have been lucky enough to travel widely around the world and this is the basis for most of my interests and passions outside of work.

Lynne

Lynne Petty

Job Title: Resident Experience Manager Joined: 2024

I first joined BUPA in June 2024. I have previously worked within activities and for the last 19 years have been a Care Home Manager. I have a passion for caring for others, specifically for caring for those with dementia. I am a dementia care trainer and also a Dementia Friends Ambassador! Outside of work I enjoy to spend time with my four children and 3 grandchildren. In my spare time I can be found taking my dogs for walks, supporting Norwich City or singing in my choir!

Julie

Julie Clews-Viveash

Job Title: Hairdresser/activities co-ordinator Joined: 2015

After 15 years of working in a salon, a client who worked in the care home sector asked if I knew anyone who would like to work in a care home. After some thought, I said 'Yes, me!'. I like to make a difference and I feel the care home sector makes a massive difference. It is team-based and is a journey for staff, relatives and residents.


I love it when friends and relatives come in and see their loved ones looking fresh and happy.


Life is about family, making memories and remembering life is short. Outside of work, I love to spend time with my children and walking my dogs.

Sarah

Sarah Camprido

Job Title: Activities Co-ordinator Joined: 2016

I have worked in care for a long period and joined Bupa in 2016, initially as a healthcare assistant and then more latterly as an activities coordinator.


I enjoy meeting people and really enjoy my current job role.


Outside of work, I have two adult children and six grandchildren.

Isobel

Isobel Dixey

Job Title: Receptionist Joined: 2023

I joined The Lindsay as a receptionist in the summer of 2023.


Earlier on in my career, I worked as a TV studio administrator producing motivational and corporate videos. After I had my children, I returned to work as a teaching assistant followed by temporary roles as a receptionist.


I particularly enjoy caring for people and making them feel as happy as I can. I enjoy the interaction with residents and their families as well as doing administrative work.


I live locally with my English Pointer dog and two cats. My daughter is local so I see a lot of her. My son lives near Southampton and also has a Pointer.


I love to see friends and family and I enjoy walking, gardening, holidays and the beach.

Job Title: Senior Activities Coordinator Joined: 2021

I have worked for BUPA for three years in total, first as a Receptionist at another BUPA home and now as the Senior Activities Coordinator at The Lindsay. I adore working at the care home, getting to know the residents and making their daily life that bit brighter with our activities and care. I have been married to my husband for eight years and we live locally in Poole. In my spare time I enjoy the arts, gardening and spendig time with my friends.
