It takes a while to trust to another in the care of a mother, but mum had decided that she was ready to accept residential care when she moved to Lindfield.
Two years in with her dementia slowly progressing, she has accepted the care offered in a way we couldn't have previously thought would be
possible.
Mum loves her new home, except when she doesn't, and then her relationship with the staff is secure enough to allow her to continue to accept and receive the care offered.
The standard of care provided by the home is high and mum enjoys good relationships with all of her care team. Generally the continuity of care, which is important to mum is good, and staff are able to make her feel special.
The home takes pride in the plethora of daily activities which mum gets a lot of enjoyment from.
In addition mum has special dietary needs which the home works hard to accommodate.
Mum's decision to move to Lindfield was a wise one.

The care home staff have been very informative ( keeping me up to date with my brothers well-being )
They contact me when or if any information is needed , so I always know how my brother is doing, or if he needs anything.
The admin and nursing staff I have found easy to talk to.
24 February 2026
There is a really good contact from the care home should anything happen i.e. an outbreak of COVID or something similar for family members not to visit.
The care of my mother is really good. I can telephone to the nurses if I have any concerns about my mother's health and someone always gets back
to me should they be busy.
There always is a presence of a few carers around to talk to should that be needed. For meals the residents have a choice to go down to the dining room or eat in the lounge.
It is warm and the residents are well cared for.
The bedrooms/en suite are kept clean.
The ambience is clean and smells fresh.

The level of care my mother receives at Linfield is truly exceptional. I cannot recommend this home highly enough. The staff are incredibly compassionate and attentive, showing genuine understanding and sensitivity toward my mother's complex dementia needs.
The senior team has also been immensely
supportive, guiding us through every aspect of the financial matters we have faced with professionalism and patience.
It brings us great comfort and reassurance to know that my mother has found her forever home here.

My mother has been at this care home for nearly two years. In those two years, I feel that she has been looked after brilliantly. Everyone is so caring, and nothing is too much. All the staff are very friendly and always have a welcoming smile on their faces. My mum loves the entertainment which she
looks forward to most days. She seems to enjoy the variety of lunches and dinners which are served up every day plus the endless cups of tea, which she likes to tell me about. When I ask her if she is OK, she enjoys talking about what has happened and who she has spoken to her during the day. Yes, she's very happy here.

My father has been at Linfield for nine months. I have always found my father very happy and well cared for when I visit weekly. He is always clean and well presented.
His room and en suite are spotlessly clean.
I have no bad observations whatsoever.

My mother initially refused to entertain the idea of going into a care home. However, when we took her on a tour of Linfield House, she was very impressed with it and said, "That is where I want to be." Myself and my sister were very impressed with it too.
We were so happy that we managed to get
her in really quickly - the staff really pulled out all the stops! As we were struggling to meet her needs in her home, we were very grateful for this.
The accommodation, decor and facilities are of a really good standard - very thoughtfully designed and well-maintained. The gardens are lovely and having the dementia garden is amazing. The staff are always warm and welcoming and have almost become friends. The attention to detail is mostly very good and staff communicate with relatives well.
My mother's financial circumstances are currently challenging as we are having to sell her flat. The home have been extremely patient whilst we have been going through this stressful process.
17 April 2025
Very helpful admission of my father from a "care home" to more "nursing home" need.
Friendly and efficient staff, clean rooms, good food, sunny sitting room.
Nurses available 24/7.
Very kind and caring.

My stepmother moved to Linfield House after a stroke left her with dementia and loss of mobility. She is looked after wonderfully. The staff are so friendly and caring. They have learned her likes and dislikes and they all do their best to enable her to join in with as many aspects of daily living
as she can manage. I wouldn't have thought it possible but she has actually improved with what she is able to do since moving to Linfield House. Whenever I visit, the staff always welcome me and will stop to chat about how my stepmother is doing and what they've been talking about with her. She has settled in wonderfully and is very happy at Linfield House.
04 February 2025
I'm not sure I will find the right words to write this review, but Linfield House and all the staff are fabulous, professional, kind, patient and very understanding. Both of my parents were at Linfield, my Dad, sadly for palliative care, and my mum as she suffers from dementia. There is no other
place like Linfield, and I truly will always be grateful for everything they did for both of my parents. You feel like one of the family, and the residents are treated by the carers like their own family. Thank you to all the staff at Linfield; you all are special people and all wonderful too. A special thanks to all the team.

Our mum was a resident at the home for a happy three years and sadly passed away recently. During all this time the empathy, professionalism and skill of the team was first-class. The care Mum received was excellent and the support to our family was always a priority even when extra work was
created.
I couldn't recommend Linfield Guild Care any higher.

My sister has been a resident on Whitcombe Suite for four years, she has been very well cared for, and staff have dealt with her changing needs with care and consideration. She has remained cheerful and is always greeted with a smile and a chat from the laundry staff, cleaners, carers and nurses.
The food is really good with a choice which is appreciated. She loves the company and numerous activities in the lounge arranged by the activities staff who organise wonderful entertainment. From the friendly reception as you enter to the welcome cups of tea and cake in the afternoon I thank you.

My mum had Alzheimer's and dementia and we got to the stage where we felt Mums needs would best be met in residential care.
Mum settled in well, was eating better than she had been at home and joining in with the mostly daily activities. Unfortunately, she had a fall in the night, she was examined
in hospital but was returned to Linfield House. The care staff supported Mum to improve her mobility.
Unfortunately, Mum's dementia deteriorated very suddenly, and despite the very best efforts of the staff, Mum's condition declined and she died in late September.
I was so impressed with the genuine care, affection and respect afforded my Mum whilst she resided in Linfield, including domiciliary, care, nursing and management staff. The staff also cared for us, her daughters as Mum reached the end of her life, I just can't praise and thank them enough.
07 November 2024
My mum moved into Linfield House in June 2024, in the late stages of Alzheimer's. After it became unsafe for her to be at home. Mum was losing the ability to eat and drink and the staff continually encouraged her to try and eat. As soon as entering Linfield's you can feel the warmth and friendship.
From the very start the staff made Mum feel loved and cared for. Every member of the team were friendly and caring and nothing was too much trouble for them. The staff at the home encouraged Mum to join in with activities when she could. The staff at the home had very good communication and if there were any issues I was contacted straight away to keep me informed. Sadly Mum lost her fight in September, the last four months of her life were better for her being at Linfield's. Anybody who is having doubts for their family member please feel reassured that this a welcoming and amazing home, I only wish that we had moved her there sooner.

My late sister was cared for by the very dedicated team at Linfield House during the advanced stage of Parkinson's disease. They were gentle, kind, supportive and encouraging, especially during the last weeks of her life. Their loving care extended to me and our family when we also had bad days
coping. Linfield House is light, airy, spacious with a calm atmosphere, is very clean with good rooms, excellent food and activities programme. I knew it was the right place as soon as I walked around the facilities and met the manager and some of the staff.
09 August 2024
My parents, both of whom have Dementia, have been residing at Linfield House for almost a year now. I have nothing but praise for all the Carers and Nurses at Seldon Suite. They display unwavering devotion, respect and care at all times towards my parents and the other residents, enabling them to
retain their dignity. The carers and nurses undertake what must be a very challenging role at times and their patience and understanding are undeniably to be applauded. I would recommend Linfield House without hesitation.
09 August 2024
My mum has Dementia and couldn't cope living independently anymore, and after a respite stay at Linfield, she decided she wanted to live there permanently.
This was a great decision as she is now much happier in herself, and we, the family, can rest assured she is well cared for and all her needs
are met.
The staff are lovely, and the home is equally lovely.
Communication has always been great.
Here's hoping Mum remains as happy and enjoys the rest of her life at her new home.
09 August 2024
We feel so lucky to have found Linfield House for my mum. Not only is she safe but she is with staff who have taken the time to get to know her and to genuinely care about her as well as for her. We are so pleased to see her smiling and joining in with the many activities on offer.
30 April 2024
I hold Power of Attorney for a good friend who has always relished her independence. When she became unable to live safely on her own it was a huge challenge to find appropriate residential care, but Linfield House has provided a supportive and caring environment. Staff have taken the time to get to
know her as a person and are interested in her 'background story'. The nursing staff are excellent at keeping in touch if there are any concerns, visitors are welcomed like family, and the inevitable 'tricky situations' amongst a significant proportion of people living with dementia are managed with compassion and good humour. Management, Carers, Nurses, Reception, Housekeeping, Maintenance and Kitchen Staff all play their part in this.
30 April 2024
I am delighted with the way my mother is being cared for, particularly when staff spend time with her and listen to her when she is anxious or upset. She is always encouraged to ask for help when she needs it, but is also allowed to be independent whenever she can, which helps her self-esteem.
