When my mother began experiencing severe symptoms of dementia, she was transferred to Linden House in Lymington. From the moment she arrived, the staff showed remarkable dedication to helping her feel calm and comfortable. They were consistently kind, gentle, and compassionate, even in the face of
her difficult and challenging symptoms. Our family will always be deeply grateful for the care and compassion they provided, and for ensuring that her passing was peaceful and dignified.

Every member of staff is welcoming and kind, they are responsive and take every care with residents. They make huge efforts to engage with dad and to try and draw him out - his world has opened up a lot since moving in.

I have been visiting at Linden House for over a year. I have always found the facility clean, neat and well maintained. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming at all times and are happy to offer coffee or a meal. It's fantastic that I an visit at any time. There is often entertainment going
on when I visit. The residents are always happy, food portions are generous + look amazing.

As a family we are incredibly grateful that we entrusted Linden House with the care of our mother during the final three years of her life and later with our stepfather in his final few months of life. From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcomed and reassured. The atmosphere is bright,
comfortable and thoughtfully designed for residents with dementia, it's safe and accessible with plenty of activities and trips in the minibus. Medical care is first class. We received regular updates about our mother's + step fathers health and well-being. We can't thank the entire team for their exceptional care and support they provided for our family.

The staff at Linden House are a fantastic team. They took care of dad, so well, but also found time to be there for me. I thank them all. Trusting a loved one to someone else is an incredibly patient and tolerant, when I was over demanding.
The rooms are large and comfortable and the whole house
is well maintained.
I can't praise Linden House enough!

We as a family can't fault the care my mum received during her respite stay at Linden House, the staff were always friendly, kind and helpful, mum enjoyed the activities (and the food!) The only reason we moved her was because her dementia was not as severe as many others in there and we felt that
she needed a slightly lower level of care overall.
28 July 2025
My husband has been at Linden House for the last 6 weeks for respite care. He has been here for respite care before.
I cannot praise and thank all the staff at Linden House enough. They are all, without exception, simply amazing and so patient, so caring and friendly and I would have no hesitation
in leaving my husband here again knowing he is in safe hands and well cared for. Dementia in all it's forms is challenging and the staff all very professional and very kind. Thank you.

Linden House is quite remarkable, and it provides great care and a wonderful environment for people living with dementia. They looked after mum so well but they also looked after us. The staff team kept us fully informed about mum's care and of any changes in her condition and were very supportive.
We could not have put mum anywhere better. Thank you Linden House.

When my friend had to make the hard decision of being unable to keep her mum safe at home, I supported her in finding the right care home to care for her mother, who sadly was suffering from vascular dementia. When we walked through the doors at Linden House we had a warm welcome from the Reception
and Management Team, which put us at ease straight away. We were shown around the home, and had a very imformative meeting on what the home could offer. We were very impressed, along with all staff members we came into contact with, they all looked very happy in their role, and treated those residents we saw along the way, with a kind, caring and nurturing manner. The support my friend received from the staff when her mother moved in was amazing, making a difficult situation a little easier, knowing that her mum would be well looked after. I would really have no issue in recommending Linden House to anyone needing dementia care..

My mum lived at Linden House for the last year of her life after losing my dad.
She was always treated with kindness, fondness and respect at all times.
She loved all the music, dancing and art activities and took part in all of them as well as her weekly mini day trips.
I have a lovely video
of mum dancing to music on the Wednesday before she sadly passed away. We will always treasure this as she looked so happy which was a testament to the care by the wonderful staff at the home.

From the very first meeting with staff of Linden House, I was extremely impressed with their professionalism, compassion and guidance. It can be a frightening and bewildering situation for all concerned and the support provided by Linden House is very comforting. The home offers bright and airy
rooms which you are encouraged to make them feel like home. The staff are nicely presented and are always smiling and know each resident by their Christian name. Drinks and cakes and biscuits are always available and the residents are offered "show plates" on meal times to display the options available. Plenty of activities are carried out during the days as well as trips out locally. You can rest easy knowing your loved one is being well looked after and are safe. I would highly recommend this facility.

My Dad was at Linden House from April 2024 until January 2025. The care he received was amazing. All staff were very kind and caring towards Dad and very welcoming when we visited. The nursing staff were very good at keeping us up to date with Dads condition and were so lovely. One member of staff
in particular was incredibly kind with Dad and helped my brothers and I at a particularly difficult time. It was very hard putting him in a home but we were very happy knowing he was being well looked after. I would recommend Linden House to everyone who has a parent or partner with Dementia. It is 'outstanding' for a reason.
