"Our visits to Lynde House have always been good. My mother-in-law has been a resident here for two and a half years and she is now 96 years old. We have always found staff and management at Lynde excellent, highly competent and friendly. Overall facilities have been very good. We are very grateful to all the Lynde House personnel for the attention and professional care devoted over many years. Very well done!"

"My mother has been here for a few months now. Lynde House has made every effort to enable visiting under very difficult circumstances (i.e COVID). She appears well cared for, well-fed and comfortable. Communication between us and the staff is superb, we feel well informed at all times and welcome to ask for information. Our thanks to all."

"I find all the staff members at Lynde House extremely kind, pleasant and helpful. They treat the residents as friends and are really caring. This includes not only their nursing duties but also the general well-being of those in their care. They are all willing to go the extra mile. I am very grateful that they look after my friend so well. Thank you, Lynde House."

"This is an amazing home! I would highly recommend it. The staff are amazing and very helpful, they are caring towards the residents and that extends to the resident's family. The communication between the home and family is great, it is so nice to have the weekly updates and whenever you call the home, the staff are always there to help. The food is fabulous, the rooms are lovely and the grounds to the house are lovely too. The visiting suite is a lovely place to visit relatives. Lovely to see the regular Facebook photos of staff awards, food menus, residents doing activities."

"I moved in 2 months ago, and am here permanently. In general, I am very happy with the facilities and the service. I have really had no complaints but I have realised, especially after conversations with other residents, that consideration should be given to a general introduction when you move in - times of meals, where things are, who the staff are etc."

"I came here immediately after a hip replacement operation, for five and a half weeks have been nursed and cared for extremely well by a competent friendly, helpful group of carers, nurses and administration staff. The facilities are very good and the food is well above the standard I was expecting, varied, well cooked and presented and of good quality. The rather laissez-faire system with the careing being left largely to help whenever and however they can I found unnerving at first but it works well in practice here."

"The team at Lynde House are amazing. So kind, so lovely, so skilled and caring. I was so impressed with everything - the facilities, the food, the gardens, even Tilly, the beautiful cat! There is a huge range of activities and beautiful places to sit and be. The care team are awesome, and the food is gorgeous. My dad was very well looked after, and I am thankful that we found Lynde House. Thank you."

"My uncle is one of the residents of your home. We are very lucky to have found this home. I can't thank all the staff enough for looking after my uncle and our family, especially his wife; they have done above and beyond for my uncle and the family. The cleanliness is something else. We can't praise Lynde House enough for all that they have done for my uncle and for supporting my auntie (his wife)."

"All the staff were very respectful and helpful in bringing the residents to the sitting room for the monthly church service, organised by the local church of England church. I had the opportunity to chat with many residents who were happy to be cared for at this him and attended this service arranged for them."

"I have come to stay in Lynde House for a period of respite while I undergo hospital treatment. The staff are all friendly and have taken the trouble to try and accommodate my needs as I come and go. Meals are generally very good, with the odd exception. The nursing staff have been available for advice if needed. I have observed that sometimes the residents have to wait longer to be helped to the toilet than is comfortable for them, mainly around meal times when carers are employed to serve meals, clean up meals and feed needy residents, so are stretched thin. Perhaps other staff could be responsible for that. The laundry is very efficient. Overall, a good experience."

"Barchester Lynde House Care Home has looked after me very well in two stages. The first stage was pre-surgery when my mobility was rapidly declining. The second stage was post my hip replacement. I am very happy with the care that I received. Staff were polite and caring. Response to any problems was good."

"This is not a home where you will be sat all day in the dayroom, this is a home with humour and kindness where residents can age disgracefully! It is wonderfully interactive, personal and a joy to be in both as a resident and as a relative. The entertainment is varied and dynamic. The care is attentive and always available when required. Lynde House is an extension of our family home, the other residents and staff, now part of my family, who I care about. It is a lovely environment, a place to embrace adverse circumstances (e.g. Mum's stroke) and feel safe and content."

"Mum has been very happy at Lynde House. She has loved the activities, especially the singing. The gardens are beautiful and we have spent many summer afternoons there. The nursing and care staff are amazing. They are so kind and caring and treat Mum with love and dignity. They are also so considerate of the family as Mum receives end-of-life care. The housekeeping, hospitality and maintenance staff always have a smile and kind words for Mum. The lounges and dining rooms are light, welcoming and very comfortable. The best care home I have seen."

"I am still getting used to the experience of care home life after something like 40 years of living on my own. Therefore no comparisons are available of this kind of being cared for. No complaints at all. I would prefer to be young, fully mobile etc but things could be worse."

"Excellent end-of-life care for my mother. Personalised care. Support for those sitting by her bedside. Good pressure area care (air mattress, regular tuning with sliding sheets). Good mouth care, skin moisturised. Pain relief as required. Staff coming in to say their goodbyes. Staff sharing anecdotes about her 18 months with them, especially night staff. Like an extended family. She was so happy."

"My husband is very happy in Lynde House, which means that I can relax with that and the standard of care which he is receiving. In his own words - "the staff are like family, and I'm glad I'm here" (I think the latter may have been in response to the news on TV recently!."

"My mother has been in Lynde House permanently for a year. She has always been cared for exceptionally well. The carers/staff whether they are cleaners, medical practitioners, nurses or cooks always know what my mother's daily condition is. Whether she has participated in an activity, what she has eaten, who has visited and if she is happy. Everyone who works here knows her and cares about her."
