Reviews for Lindum House Care Home

"Thank you so much to all the staff for making a very difficult journey easier. I never thought my mum would settle away from our house but with all your help and support, she has. She has even booked herself onto a trip out without me. She hasn't been anywhere without family for over ten years. You are all truly amazing."

"All of the staff - carers, management, kitchen staff, maintenance staff are caring, efficient and cohesive. They are thoughtful, well organised and have kept me well informed. They have responded with humour and positive ideas to requests. I think the home has an excellent atmosphere and is well maintained outside and in."

"Lindum House has a homely feel and the upstairs lounge is bright and airy. I occasionally find the home to be a bit short staffed and I sometimes find myself alone in the lounge with several residents who then need attention. Maybe a regular check of the residents in the lounge could commence, so I don't feel so responsible for their welfare. That said, the staff are kind and caring and respect the resident's dignity in all their interactions with them."

"My husband was always treated with the utmost kindness and respect by all the staff and regarded both staff and residents as his extended family. With his illness, it was the next best thing to being at home (his words). The food was reasonable with a good choice of menu, although some things were not always available. Entertainment was varied and enjoyable. The let down was the long wait for help, it was never there when you needed and 30mins sat on the toilet waiting for help is not good, having said that, the love and care we received in those 8months will never be forgotten. I still visit the home and always receive a tremendous welcome."

"I'm very satisfied here at Lindum House. I have lived here nearly three years and I've made some lovely friends. The staff here are friendly and helpful. If you enjoy activities there are lots of things to do. I especially enjoy the afternoons as I enjoy quiet time in the mornings in my room. I really enjoy my wonderful view of the gardens and I get a wave from the gardener."

"My mother was offered a respite bed at very short notice and was made to feel safe and welcome immediately. Staff were very quick to understand her needs and she was allowed to be as private as she liked while still being shown that she could join in and take advantage of amenities and activities if she wanted. The staff were wonderful - every one of them, throughout the length of her stay. Her general health and strength improved over the 7 weeks remarkably. She felt safe and relaxed and management was very flexible, with no pressure for her to leave. If my mother were to need more support, we would certainly feel happy for her to return to Lindum."

"Mum was only at Lindum House for 3 months. In that short time, she was loved and cared for by staff in the nicest and kindest way. Sadly, mum passed away unexpectedly over Xmas. Staff continued to show the utmost love, care and respect to me. All of them are truly amazing."

"I reluctantly agreed for my husband to be transferred to Lindum House after a time in hospital. I know now it was the best decision I could have made for him. He was given 24-hour care and attention until he died and I was grateful that our wishes for his care were carried out to the letter. He died peacefully and without pain. I can only thank these dedicated people including the cleaners and caterers for the care of my husband and myself."

Time has been taken to understand his condition and find the best way to deal with his needs, which at times has not been easy. During such a difficult time for myself and the family, it is such a relief to know that he is cared for in such a professional manner. Thank you to you all."

"Mum has been at Lindum House for nearly 4 years now and it has been excellent in every way but especially now with COVID. All staff have gone above and beyond their duties to ensure residents and relatives are kept in contact which is so important during these so stressful times. Myself and my family are so grateful that Mum is in Lindum House and we can never repay staff for their help. Many thanks to you all. (Activities are second to none - residents love it.)"

"My mother had her ninetieth birthday last week. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, no visitors were allowed in the home at all so planning what to do was not easy. The activities coordinator at Barchester Lindum House could not have been more helpful. In the morning she helped Mum open her cards and presents and then gave her a pamper session and did her hair. She set up a room with decorations and a big screen so Mum could watch a film of her choice. In the afternoon she helped us organise a Zoom session for all the family, again projected onto the big screen so it was really clear. Barchester Lindum House provided a lovely cake and we all sang Happy Birthday. We are still hoping to be able to all get together as a family to celebrate in person but meanwhile, Mum had a day to remember and was made to feel very special. Without the activities coordinator and I am sure other staff at the home, this would not have been possible and we will be forever grateful for all the effort that went in to ensuring Mum had such a special day."

"My Mam has been a resident of Lindum House for nearly 3 years and as a family we are 100% happy with the care provided. The management, staff and care workers are all super friendly and Mam always seems very happy and content. There are always lots of daily and weekly activities which the residents really enjoy and it is lovely to see these posts on social media. Thank you to everyone at Lindum you are all doing an amazing job. Best Wishes."

"My stepmum was cared for at Barchester Lindum House for the last few months of her life until she passed away on New Year's Eve. At all times, she was cared for with empathy, dignity and respect. The care staff went above and beyond to give a high standard of care and treated my stepmum with kindness. They also helped the family and helped my elderly father when I took him to visit. I would be happy to recommend Lindum House to family and friends."

"My mother has been a resident at Lindum House for almost a year. She is very happy and cannot commend the management and all the staff highly enough. The home has a family and friendly feel to it. She is well cared for and her individual needs are met with great respect. My mother loves the meals and the mealtime arrangements in the dining room where she can chat with her friends. She says her choosing Lindum House was definitely the best decision."

"My aunt was at Lindum House for 2 years and was initially resistant to staying, having been a very independent ninety-two-year-old. She came to like her stay, recognising she was safe, and well-cared for and enjoying meals and talking to staff. I found the staff very helpful and believe my aunt thought the team at Lindum House were very caring and considerate and she had her favourites. I know my aunt was occasionally grumpy and yet I saw staff handle her with patience, kindness and consideration, even when needing to be firm. In our dealings with Barchester, the communication and management of residential care paperwork and invoicing was timely and efficient. Given the challenges of finding a well-run and affordable residential care home we appreciated the positive experience my aunt had at Lindum House in the last two years of her life. Our thanks go to all the staff - front of house and behind the scenes."

"We have had a very positive experience with all aspects at Lindum House. My mum with the help of the friendly caring staff has settled in really well. I’m happy that there isn’t reliance on agency staff it’s nice for Mum to have the same friendly faces who know her well. The daily activity programme provides great mental and social stimulation such as a varied programme I love the fact that the greater community gets involved too. I had no worries in recommending Lindum House to a friend's family."

"My sisters and I arranged for Mum to have respite care at Lindum House whilst my dad was recovering from an accident caused by a fall at his home. The staff were very considerate of Mum's needs and the fact that she was spending time away from her home and husband. They made her feel welcome, safe and a part of their 'family.' They were able to distract Mum from worrying about Dad, encouraging her to take part in activities and join in. Mum went to the cinema and to the pub! Two places she had not visited in a very long time, she thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Her health and well-being was paramount throughout her time there. My family and I can't thank the staff enough for all the help and assurance they gave us at a difficult time. We felt confident leaving our parents in a safe, caring and compassionate residential home. The staff were patient, considerate and professional. I would not hesitate recommending Lindum House to others."

"My mum is a resident and due to her dementia she found it very difficult when she first moved from her home, the staff have worked with myself and my brother to understand and to work on helping Mum feel secure and build a trust with the staff. Mum has really settled and now enjoys the activities and is very happy, the staff and the registered manager have shown kindness, patience and caring and have communicated with family at all times, we are very grateful."

"Mum went into Lindum for respite when Dad was poorly in January. She really didn’t want to go in a care home and had a previous experience of respite in a different facility. We lost our dad in February so Mum has needed to stay permanently. The staff are all friendly and caring and take the time to get to know the residents. The entertainment team are fab and keep a full packed diary of activities. Trip to the local pub once a month for a golden oldies afternoon, regular singers, animal therapy, bingo, games and lots of other activities. Mum has settled in and enjoys the activities and company of the other residents. Met lots of new friends."

"My aunt was a resident at Barchester Lindum House until her recent passing. She thoroughly enjoyed living there and the care she received was second to none. From the day she arrived, the kindness and patience of the staff was superb, until her final days where I can only thank them for their compassion. My family and I will always be very thankful to the staff for their empathy and respect... and for the carers who went above and beyond to make her stay there so very comfortable."
