The Links Care Home

The Links provide a good array of activities for the residents, with daily activities scheduled. Staff are caring and considerate of residents' needs. Facilities seem well looked after. Food seems healthy and varied. Overall, I have been very happy. Their compassion and care for my mother provide comfort to myself and the family.

My dad came to The Links in November 2021, and the care he has received is amazing. When he sees a member of staff, his face lights up. He loves it here, and as a family, we couldn't wish for more for our lovely dad.

My aunt receives excellent care and The Links communicates with me when there are any changes to her care plan. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Links care home to a potential resident.

My elderly mother with advanced Alzheimer's and my father, with terminal cancer, were admitted into The Links care home in January 2022. The management, reception, nursing staff, cleaners, chefs and handyman have provided a fantastic, caring team for my mother. The effort of these good-hearted souls have given my parents a wonderful home. You keep my mum safe and loved in my absence. They also provide weekly, fun activities which Mum loves. Thank you.

Lovely, caring atmosphere - a great team led by an extremely professional manager.

From what I have heard from phone calls from the home, my husband has been well looked after. The only problem is I am not always kept informed on my husband's health and well-being but otherwise, very good.

My mother arrived as a resident in November of this year and had had a tough time getting used to being a resident on the ground floor since then. Everyone I have met has been fantastic but I must say one team member, in particular, went above and beyond, ensuring Mum was made welcome, using her break to make sure the GP was aware of some issues Mum had, as well as keeping us updated and putting my mind at rest. Thank you for making the hard decision to have Mum leave her home a little easier.

I think the care home is lovely. The staff are always so welcoming, friendly and helpful. They seem to really care about the residents and my Grandpa seems very happy there. The home itself is in good condition and the rooms are lovely and always kept clean. Overall, we’ve had a great experience.

My mother came to the Links after 64 years of living in the same house, followed by several hospital admissions in 2020, at the start of the pandemic. I was unable to visit, due to Covid restrictions for some months, but can now visit regularly. It has been difficult for Mum, family and for the hardworking care management and staff. Everyone at the Links has done their best to care for Mum in exceptionally difficult circumstances. For instance, my mum has never seen her care staff without masks, so you lose a lot of interactions that way. Professional and friendly staff and management. She is generally settled into life there now, although her dementia can make every day a different experience.

Both my parents were residents at The Links Care Home for almost 5 years. During that time The Links staff treated them with compassion and understanding and helped them as their illnesses progressed. The food was always freshly made, the activities fun and appropriate and the home very clean. Latterly, the pandemic presented challenges for staff, residents and relatives and proved a difficult time. However, the home adapted and the use of Skype and Covid-19 secure meeting rooms helped keep residents and their relatives connected.

Despite a very difficult year, all the staff have continued to give exceptional service and ensured that our loved ones have been protected and cared for.

My mother has received excellent care and support during her stay at The Links Care Home. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone.

From a long distance away, I have managed to see Mum through the window from outside, and last November, from within. I am now looking forward to a visit within Mums room as soon as restrictions have been eased and I am able to travel from Scotland. The Zoom calls are a tremendous boost for myself, and I think for Mum too at the time.

Since my ma went into The Links, the care and understanding she has received have been exceptional. Her physical health has improved, and she is eating really well (she wasn't eating at all before she went in). The level of care the staff provide is second to none, and also, they always keep me in contact with how Ma is doing. They have even managed to persuade Ma out of bed and into the lounge - only the second time she has been out of bed in well over a year. Ma is so happy and engaged - it truly is a delight to see. I love the activities that are organised, like the poetry compilation for National Poetry Day. My grateful thanks to all the staff at The Links - I can't recommend them highly enough.

This is my first visit, and also I came here with precaution about what I would encounter. I shall leave with the knowledge that if I need to return, I shall be looked after as though I was at home.

I am the niece of the service user and have been blessed by the care and surroundings at The Links Care Home. Nothing is too much trouble! I can leave my uncle with confidence in The Links' tender loving care.

Visits to see my wife only once every two weeks, I don't think this is good because it was 2 or 3 weeks ago it was once every week. Sometimes it takes a long time to phone, one night, or I should say evening, it took me 5 goes. Quite a lot of people I've met have said the same.

Difficult to see through patio doors as they have some

Thank you.

I chose this home for my mum because I could no longer care for her. Now 97 mum has challenging behaviour and has been totally blind for nearly 40 years. The family nature, understanding and ability displayed to care for my mum cannot be faulted. We are kept informed at all times of all relevant things when not visiting. owing to the professional and foresight in closing early so far there is no Covid-19 there. Forever grateful.
