Overall Experience

My mum had been at Lindisfarne in Throckley since May 2022. My experience has been very positive.
Her room was always warm and comfortable, tidy and clean. I found the staff friendly and approachable. I can not fault the care she received. As my mum became palliative the staff could not do enough,

providing the right equipment to keep her comfortable and providing advice and support.
An excellent care home. Thank you for all the care my mum received.

Overall Experience

Although it was an upsetting and stressful time, I have absolutely no regrets in choosing Lindisfarne Care Home. After reading reviews I was a little trepidatious. However, after my Mother spent 4 weeks there needing intensive end of life support, I have nothing but excellent feedback to give.
The

Care Home is warm, clean and very well run. My mother's room, on the ground floor, was pleasant, nicely decorated and adequately furnished. All staff throughout the home from cleaners to nurses, were extremely attentive, caring and responsive to my Mother's needs. The nurses in particular were exceptional and regularly checked on my Mother, providing me with numerous updates regarding her condition. This was in addition to face to face updates which I received on each of my visits.
Overall I cannot fault the quality of care Lindisfarne provided throughout the last 4 weeks of her life. I hope this review puts at ease those having to make such a difficult decision.

Overall Experience

My wife has been at this home since August 5th 2022. My experience has been a totally negative one
Broken furniture, heating, and dirty patched walls in my wife's room. One room she stayed in had a non-working toilet. non-working extractor fan including no window in the toilet washroom. Large boxes

of
nappy supplies and medical supplies piled up in her room and toilet washroom. Used cardboard urine
bottles left smelling for days. I regularly had to empty my wife's urine bottle to which she was attached. For many days running there was no signing in book (which I assume is against fire regulations). My wife's room had no heating for three days in winter. Poor or no response to the emergency buzzer. I would not allow my wife to stay there if I had an alternative.

Overall Experience

My Mother went into Lindisfarne Birtley Care Home, for an assessment period, however as her health deteriorated, a long-term bed became available. She was well looked after by all of the staff, and they were always friendly when the family visited. I would like to thank all of the staff, especially

one member, for making her last day comfortable.

Overall Experience

Mother-In-Law was only a resident for a short time for her end-of-life care. The home is lovely, very clean and tidy. We arrived just after Christmas and the home was beautifully decorated. The setting is beautiful. The staff are amazing, very caring and compassionate. Couldn't have wished for a better

place to stay.

Overall Experience

My late father was transferred from hospital to Lindisfarne Ouston for the last part of his palliative care.
From the moment we were met at the door to view the facilities, until his passing, we cannot thank all the staff enough. Every member of staff handled my father's situation in a very caring

and empathetic way.
As a family, we were involved in all aspects of his care, and we were looked after and supported at all times.
Thank you to everyone involved, you made a very difficult time more bearable.

Overall Experience

My mother fell and broke her hip Dec 2016 aged 89. She had other medical conditions including dementia. Upon first visiting (unannounced) Lindisfarne we were struck by how friendly and enthusiastic everyone we met was. The building is spacious and felt welcoming. She stayed there from Feb 2017 until

she passed away peacefully Dec 2017.

The whole family was very very pleased with the nursing and care provided. Every single member of staff is deserving of praise for the way they collectively looked after our mother. They helped her to settle in and at all times she was kept comfortable and clean. Nothing was too much trouble for the team they were amazing and we cannot thank them enough. She had a nice bright room of her own with ensuite but every day they took her to the resident's lounge to be amongst other people even though she had no mobility of her own. The resident's lounge that she was in on the ground floor is bright, spacious and calm.

Overall Experience

My mam was in Lindisfarne Ouston care home from January 2017 because of mobility problems and Alzheimers. Unfortunately, she died one week ago.

During her time there, we found everyone from the manager and office staff, the carers, the cook and her helpers and even the cleaning staff were all very

caring and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.

My family will treasure the memories of my mam's time there. She was very happy and settle there. We couldn't thank them all enough for what they did for her.

Lindisfarne Care Home
from Kathleen H (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 27 June 2017

Overall Experience

My mother-in-law came into Lindisfarne in February - she has dementia. We were suddenly faced with the task of choosing a home! We were initially put off Lindisfarne as there were no reviews. Luckily, this didn't put us off and we went with our gut feeling. The manager couldn't have made it easier

for us, all the staff are fantastic. They have made her feel safe, comfortable and loved. She has put weight on as she was just 6 st when admitted. She's made friends and is joining in with the activities. When we take her out she goes back without any problem. Not a typical dementia patient. She is very active, the staff have found numerous ways of keeping her stimulated even giving her jobs to do in the office which she is loving! She actually thinks she works there at times and has also told us she likes living up this cul-de-sac and is thinking of having an extension built! Bless her, this shows us how settled she is! It's still early days but we couldn't be happier with this care home and the staff.

Overall Experience

My mam suffers from vascular dementia and has a complicated medical history and found herself unable to cope at home even with a care package in place. With this in mind, I visited Lindisfarne Ouston and spoke to several residents about their stay within the home. They all felt their needs were being

met and were happy there. With that information, mam joined the Lindisfarne family in September 2016. I feel the manager of the home runs a tight ship in leading all her staff. The home is always clean and tidy, all residents including mam are well groomed. The food is all home cooked providing an excellent range of choice from breakfast through to evening meal with snacks throughout the day. I have always been welcomed to join mam for lunch when visiting, and I must say the food is very tasty. With the care and commitment from the staff, mam has settled very well and I now call it home. It is good to see mam smiling again in a safe and caring environment.

Overall Experience

My Mum was in Lindisfarne since February 2015 until her recent death. I cannot find any fault with the care she has received. The staff are so caring, supportive and professional. They look on residents as family and are friendly and supportive to all family and visitors. During Mum's last few days,

they couldn't do enough for us and welcomed our coming and going at all times of the day and night. An excellent care home which I wouldn't hesitate in recommending to anyone looking for care for family.

My father in law was a resident in Lindisfarne Ouston for over 3 years. He had Parkinson's and Dementia. The care he received was outstanding. The staff genuinely care for their residents. Our family was kept up to date with any changes or concerns and nothing was any trouble. The staff are excellent

they not only cared for my father in law but they took time for us too. If you are looking for future care for a family member, look here first. OUTSTANDING!!

Overall Experience

It was a difficult decision to make putting my dad into a care home. We looked at many homes in the area and this one really stood out. It's bright and cheerful, really spacious, has various social rooms, excellent home cooked food and as we now know excellent caring staff.
Care homes don't get the

recognition they deserve. Some are poor but this one is really good. The staff are great, not only to the residents they care for but to their families too.
If you're looking for a new home for a loved one, it is the most difficult decision you will have to make, please look at Lindisfarne in Ouston.

from Heather G (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 December 2015

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident here for 6 1/2 years before her death in October 2015. She suffered from Parkinson's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia and had a stroke in 2009 which left her without mobility and a rapid loss of all effective communication skills meaning that her support needs were high. We found

that during her time at Lindisfarne she was extremely well cared for by a dedicated team of staff. There appears to be a small turnover of staff which resulted in all those involved in my mother's care knowing her needs very well. She could not have been given more personal attention with staff always willing to listen to us. There was never an issue with calling in medical support if they felt the need and we were kept informed of all cases where medical help was sought. Any minor issues we needed to raise were listened to and responded to swiftly.
