My mum has been a resident at Link House since August 2020 and the care she receives there is excellent.
The staff are really great and do a wonderful job. The food looks really good and is varied and always something special is done at festive times of the year. I would recommend Link House to anyone
looking for a residential care home for themselves or a loved one.

Dad has settled well into Link House. It was a difficult decision as a family for Dad to move out of his flat but it has proved to be a positive change. The care is fantastic and the team treat Dad with care and respect and interact with him regularly. They are kind and welcoming and we are very grateful
to them for looking after him. I would thoroughly recommend Link House.

All the staff at Link House are friendly, caring and kind. My mother has been a resident for over 2 years and is now bedridden. She is treated by staff with both care and dignity and a great deal of patience. The nursing and care staff are always approachable to ask about any issues or care needs. You
can even phone up if you are unable to visit in person. The food provided is of an excellent standard. Since the new manager arrived there has been an increase in activities and events.

Never put your loved one here, beware the outcome will not be good. Their care will not be continued with respect, no continued care or management respect, especially management respect. Please choose carefully, plenty more respected care homes better for your loved ones.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We deeply regret that we were unable to meet your needs on this occasion. Each care home is uniquely designed to cater to different levels of care, including dementia care, and we strive to ensure that every resident receives the support they require. In this instance, we felt that our home may not have been the best fit for your specific needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly if you have any further concerns or questions.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

I am very disappointed with the service received at Link House. Do not send your loved ones to this care home under any circumstances. My father who was a previous resident there has severe Parkinson's and dementia. On several occasions, he pressed the bell to go to the toilet and was kept waiting for
over half an hour. He had no choice but to go in his nappy. On another occasion after complaining about bladder pain, the nurse on duty failed to recognise symptoms of a UTI and delayed involving the GP. My father was then sent to A&E for a catheter change as it could not be done in the care home despite having nurses on the premises and inadequate equipment. When he went into the ambulance he was given no water or food. They even failed to give him his timed Parkinson's medication to the ambulance staff. Is this how you treat an 85-year-old man with disabilities? I feel for the huge amount of money paid per week it was daylight robbery.

Reply from Zoe Smith, Home Manager at Link House Care & Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience. We take these matters seriously and are committed to providing the highest standards of care. Our records show prompt response times to call buttons and adequate staffing levels on the first floor. However, we will investigate your concerns raised. We strive to support both our residents and their families, and we regret any distress caused. Please contact us directly if you wish to discuss this further.

I chose this care home for my 95-year-old mother as I knew of it and it was within walking distance of my house. The majority of the care staff are excellent but still, some requests get forgotten. The management is rather distant from residents and at weekends, there is a lack of someone in charge.
Overall I suppose this home is very good. Nicely furnished, with good food and pleasant staff. Its closeness to me is a great advantage and my mother is generally happy there.

We also acknowledge your concerns about occasional forgotten requests and the perceived distance of management from residents, particularly on weekends.

We will address these issues to ensure that requests are consistently attended to and to enhance our management's presence and availability. Thank you again for your constructive feedback. Your mother's happiness and well-being are our top priorities, and we are committed to making continual improvements to meet and exceed your expectations. Kind regards.

My Mother has only been a resident in Link House for a short time but to date, I have been pleased with the care she has received. When you enter there is a warm homely atmosphere and a courteous greeting. All members of staff have been friendly, helpful, and attentive and I feel that my Mother has
been treated with dignity and respect. As my Mother chose not to get up the staff kindly moved her bed so that she could look out of the window which I thought was very considerate. Although she has a poor appetite my Mother has been offered a wide variety of food choices and lots of tea which she always enjoys and appreciates.

Very pleased with the home Link House and the great care my Dad received, everyone was very kind and compassionate, and although Dad was near the end of his life nothing was too much trouble, even the catering staff went out of their way to offer Dad alternatives of food in attempts to get him to eat
more,
everyone worked hard to look after Dad and us when visiting him.

communication around the home between management and residents/friends. There are regular meetings and more recently, a newsletter. My friend says that the home has improved in recent months, especially with improved activities. I feel my friend is well cared for and safe at Link House

As I had never visited a care home I had no idea what to expect, I was very pleasantly surprised. From the moment I entered Link House, I was treated with care and kindness. The management was very helpful and informative. The staff on the floor my Aunt stays are attentive and caring, they responded
quickly and efficiently to her call bell. The Senior in Charge is very knowledgeable, especially around dementia and was able to reassure us that my Aunt was ok. My Aunt needs help with meals and the staff took time to feed her what looked and smelled like a really nice meal. The Activity lady came and asked me about my aunt's life history and what she liked to do before moving into care, she said it helps her incorporate what residents like to do into the activities she offers. I noticed the week's activities included a trip out in a minibus. I would recommend Link House as a lovely care home to my friends and family.

Over the past few months, I have visited my friend and have noticed a marked improvement in recent weeks. The staff are very caring and always have time for her, the management team always have their doors open and are open to communication at any time. The food is wonderful, home-cooked, and looks
appetising - a little more choice and a little less garlic for my friend's taste. The home is attractive, spacious, and is always clean. Activities are improving with trips out and 1:1 sessions in my friend's room. Nothing is too much trouble for the handyman. I would highly recommend Link House.

The standard of care that mum received at Link House was second to none. The home is in a really nice, green and peaceful location and is very well maintained.
All mum's special needs, such as taking the time to cut her food up and feed her because she could no longer manage herself, were catered
for and she built some great relationships with the care staff. It was the most relaxed and happiest we had seen mum in all the time she was receiving care services. The staff made a real effort to make mum look her best every day. They even cut and washed her hair for the first time in months after a very long hospital stay and it made such a difference.
We had regular communication from the staff and management, especially when things took a turn for the worse. Sadly, mum passed away when she was readmitted into hospital from the home but, even afterwards, the home took the trouble to send us a condolence card, which was really appreciated and thoughtful.

Reply from Alex Ulatowska, Customer Relations Manager at Link House Care & Nursing Home

Our deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss. Your mum was a lovely lady, and it was a pleasure to care for her. Thank you very much for your kind words about our home. I will make sure your comments are passed on to all our staff at Link House.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.242)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.242) out of 10 for Link House Care & Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.242 for Link House Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 248 Ratings = 4.242

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Link House Care & Nursing Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews.
