Mum was at the Lindens for about three years, they are very caring, helpful, understanding, supportive I could go on, they looked after her till her peaceful end and we would like to say a big thank you, it's one of the best homes I've seen

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident at The Lindens for almost 10 years now. She has dementia. Moving into a care home is stressful for an older person and Mum went through a period of adjustment, but it was amazing how much her health improved once she was being cared for properly. She has always been happy

at The Lindens and it is a great comfort to me to know she is so well cared for.
I've been extremely impressed by the staff and management of The Lindens. Staff turnover seems to me to be extremely low, which says a lot about the quality of management and means that the care is personal and consistent.

Reply from Dessy Ivanova, Manager at The Lindens Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting us to look after your mum. We truly appreciate your kind words. It's incredibly rewarding to hear that she's happy and well cared for here at The Lindens. We are very proud of our team and the consistent care they provide. We'll continue to do everything we can to ensure your mum receives the best possible care. Your trust means the world to us.

Overall Experience

Dad has been a resident at The Lindens for 12 months and we could not have chosen better.
Staff - the owners, managers, receptionists, carers, chefs, cleaners, gardeners, maintenance team, and everyone else - they all show immense passion and pride in their work, and have been very helpful and a pleasure

to deal with.
Accommodation - the main house, restaurant, lounge, coffee room, bedrooms, grounds, and flower beds are of high quality and are kept in extremely good order.
Restaurant - only wish I could dine there every day!
Carers - we all understand this is a very demanding role and we have been very impressed with the high level of care, empathy, and understanding that all the carers have shown both to my Dad and other residents that we have seen on many visits.
Activities - the team has endless amounts of energy in finding positive activities for the residents to undertake both at The Lindens and externally on day trips.
Well done to the manager and her team; keep up the great work.

Overall Experience

Our 88-year-old Dad moved into the Lindens in November 2024 after living at home with a 24/7 carer following a serious illness. The Lindens has been nothing short of a revelation for him! Run by the ever-approachable the manager and her amazing team, they are caring and friendly to a level that genuinely

makes Dad feel like he's at home. Prior to the Lindens, Dad had stopped reading and watching TV - indeed, he had almost stopped engaging with people. Now he has made friends and joins in the daily activities that the team arrange, including trips out. The Lindens are also exceptional at managing Dad's ongoing health needs, with weekly GP visits addressing any issues before we even know of them. The speed and consistency of response from the Lindens team makes them very easy to deal with. Add all of that to the lovely building and grounds and you can see why one of Dad's visitors is hoping to make her own arrangements to enter the Lindens. You can't give a better recommendation than that!

Reply from Dessy Ivanova, Manager at The Lindens Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words! It really warms our hearts to hear how much your dad has blossomed since moving to the Lindens. We're thrilled that he feels at home and is able to engage in activities, make new friends, and receive the best care possible. It's always wonderful to hear that our efforts have had such a positive impact on someone's life. Thank you very much again.

Overall Experience

My dad has been a resident for almost 10 years, and the care he receives is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you walk in, the warm and friendly atmosphere is palpable. The staff are not only incredibly friendly but also genuinely happy, creating a welcoming environment that feels like home.
The

home is clean, with everything maintained to the highest standards. It always smells fresh and inviting, contributing to the overall comfort of the residents.
Each meal is cooked fresh daily, ensuring that residents enjoy delicious and nutritious options.
There's also a fantastic range of activities available. Whether it's arts and crafts, games, or social events, there's always something happening.
The management is approachable with an open-door policy, making it easy to reach out with any concerns or suggestions.
Overall, I cannot recommend this care home highly enough! If you're looking for a caring and supportive environment, this is definitely the place to be!

Overall Experience

My Mum moved to this lovely home in February 2024 as a result of general frailty. At 88 she had decided that living alone and managing her house had lost its appeal. By way of introduction she was invited for lunch and to look around. She instantly liked the atmosphere, the gardens and the food. She

was warmly welcomed by the staff, who could not be kinder or more attentive. Residents are treated with respect. Her room is pleasant, spacious and comfortable and she has added her own touches. Family from the biggest to the smallest are always made welcome. Communication from staff is excellent and they are quick to spot and report concerns. They seem a happy and cohesive team. I have great faith in them. The manager is accessible and the home is well-run. Mum is happy and well-cared for and loneliness is a thing of the past.

I have found all the staff at The Lindens strive to make the residents at ease and they show dignity and respect to all. Always helpful and compassionate. It can be personally very difficult to see loved one(s) in care homes, the staff put my mind at ease. I feel fortunate my loved one(s) are/is there.

I wish all care homes were as good.

Overall Experience

Absolutely wonderful place, every staff member is so attentive and determined to make every hour of every day a good one for all the residents!
Our mother is happy and smiling most of the time, if she's unhappy, distressed or unwell it is picked up on very quickly, the situation is sorted out immediately

and the appropriate care is given! Therefore over her time at The Lindens, (4.5 years) there has been a marked improvement in Mummy's overall health and well-being.
From management and administration staff, to nurses, carers, activities team, kitchen and housekeeping staff every single person is helpful, friendly and always finding time for a chat, simply amazing!
Thank you all so very much.
I would highly recommend this care home to anyone and everyone!

Reply from Dessy Ivanova, Manager at The Lindens Residential Care Home

Thank you for your heartfelt words of encouragement, they truly mean a lot to us and boost our team morale. The time we spend with your mum is meaningful to each of us. Your feedback is well appreciated as we continue to strive for improvement. Thank you very much!

My father moved into The Lindens when it became obvious my mother was unable to cope at home. I cannot fault the staff for their kindness and care towards my father in the later stages of his life. Communication was outstanding, my mother was always in the know as to how my father was medically. As

a family we cannot fault The Lindens. My father received 1st class care at all times.

After viewing several care homes in the area I immediately walked into The Lindens and thought this was the one. Lovely building overlooking fields and the canal. The open airy entrance hall and impressive dining room give off an air of comfort yet homeliness. My husband's room and en suite are spacious,

comfortable and sunny. The care he receives is kind, caring and cheerful.

The management and staff are empathetic and meet my husband's many needs with dignity and professionalism. They are also supportive of me. My husband's many medical problems are dealt with immediately and efficiently. I feel lucky that we found The Lindens.

Overall Experience

My mother first came to the Lindens because of a combination of Parkinson’s and the onset of dementia. Later her poor sight turned to almost total blindness. Throughout all these travails, staff were always attentive, caring and good-spirited. They enjoyed her company and found her very funny, nicknaming

her ‘Lady Di’. I’m told, and believe, they came to love her.
The Lindens were always well-run and coped well throughout the Covid years. It avoided the horror one read about other care homes. If staff caught Covid, they were sent home with pay.
The care provided was superb throughout, being effective and friendly; indeed, when my mother was in the hospital with an infection and the hospital felt it needed to put her on end-of-life care, they agreed to take her back to look after her at the end of her life. In this period, they were especially attentive, careful and caring.
The Lindens looks like a clean, well-run country club and is welcoming. The restaurant always looked tempting!

I am so pleased every time we go up to see my mum that she is so happy and contented and pleased with her care. She is always saying how kind they are to her and that they can't do enough. She is always saying how lovely the food is and eats well. She loves being downstairs in the big lounge and taking

part in all the activities they do there. It is a comfort to me knowing she is looked after so well and every time we go up they are so kind to us as well. When my mum had Covid, they rang me every day to let me know how she was. Lovely.

Overall Experience

My mother has been at The Lindens Residential Home since 2019. Initially unsettled, she is now happily integrated into the daily life of The Lindens. She has several important medical issues which are dealt with on a daily basis, a care we could not hope to achieve outside the home. The staff care for

her with great kindness and consideration. Always well turned out, her dignity is highly protected. The home has really improved communications recently. Family members are constantly notified of changes and activities at the home. At the same time, in my case at least, communication with my mother, who cannot use a phone herself, has been enabled via video call and with the help of a carer. It is wonderful to be able to see and speak to my mum regularly. I cannot express my gratitude highly enough for this. The home has always been impeccably clean when I have visited. Activities well and thoughtfully organised, catering for all needs. Fabulous.

Overall Experience

My mother has been residing at The Lindens for nine months. Throughout this time the staff have been exceptional in the care and kindness they give to my mother and the other residents. Everyone is treated with respect and as an individual. There is a choice of menu and for those without much appetite,

food that they enjoy is offered. The care home looks and smells clean at all times. The decor is homely and has a lovely dining room. Her bedroom is large and has an en-suite. There is a secure garden for those that wish to go outside. Activities are put on everyday for those that wish to join in. I visit three times a week but also receive phone calls for updates from a senior member of staff. I would strongly recommend The Lindens to anyone wanting to find a residential placement for a senior family member.

Overall Experience

My Mum has been a resident at The Lindens Residential Care Home for nearly 3 years. She moved in just before the first Covid lockdown so obviously visiting and getting to know the home and the staff was difficult. Now that visiting restrictions no longer apply we have been able to enjoy many visits

with our mum. The staff here are lovely and go out of their way to accommodate our needs, for example decorating a room so that we could have a small private family party to celebrate Mum's birthday recently and ensuring we had everything that we needed. The staff are wonderful with Mum and she always greets them with a big smile. The Lindens is a beautiful home and is always spotless. The manager is very approachable and is always open to suggestions and ideas.

My father has been a resident at The Lindens for over twelve months. He suffers from dementia so his care needs are not straightforward. We are completely delighted with the high level of care he receives at The Lindens. The staff are very efficient and compassionate, and it's obvious they care about
