Overall Experience

I had moved my husband from another care home and frequently wish I had done so much earlier. The care and professionalism shown by the staff were a breath of fresh air. I no longer worried about what was happening to him when I wasn't there, instead, I knew he was in safe hands, with people I could

trust, and for this, I will be eternally grateful.

Overall Experience

Staff at Linden Lodge have always been polite, caring and respectful. They go above and beyond to care for their residents.
My mother went to live there in January 2015. Right from the start, I was impressed with their dedication. Matron was willing to visit Mom in a rehab hospital in Nottingham -

other places would have assessed her over the phone. The transfer was arranged for two days later. The night beforehand, I arrived with some things for her room - her nameplate was done showing an author's books - detail obtained during their assessment. It was a lovely touch.
After her stroke, Matron called to say she could go back there when ready.
During Covid, they looked after everyone so well.
I was called when Mom seemed unwell, and this meant I could visit what turned out to be the night before she died.
Staff were amazing upon her death and told me exactly what would happen, making the next steps easier to cope with at such a sad time.
Thank you all so very much.

Overall Experience

Our mam was a resident at Linden Lodge for over four years, where she was loved and cared for. After Mom's unfortunate fall and subsequent stay in the hospital, it was apparent that she was approaching end of life, and she was returned to Linden Lodge. All of the staff could not have been any more kind

and helpful to our family during this period by going above and beyond with sympathy and practical assistance. Some members of our family, who lived two hundred miles away, and ourselves were provided with hot meals and drinks, and overnight facilities were provided for us. A sad occasion was softened by the love and care received.

Overall Experience

My father was admitted into Linden Lodge and the staff were absolutely amazing.
They were brilliant with my father and catered for his every need and he still kept his dignity. They went over and above to keep myself and the family informed about everything concerning my father. We couldn't recommend

them more. They fully deserve all the credit they get.

Reply from Linda Lowrie, Registered Manager at Linden Lodge Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to know that you were happy with the care we gave to your father and that we were able to support the family at this difficult time.

Overall Experience

My mom has been living at Linden Lodge for over 3 years now. She has Alzheimer's and is no longer mobile. She is confined to bed most of the time but is relaxed and happy and will say to me how lovely all the staff are. She is on the Nursing floor and gets excellent 24-hour care.
There is a very

warm and friendly atmosphere at the home. It is kept very clean and tidy throughout. The food is plentiful, good quality and well-cooked. I am welcome to visit when I want, and to discuss with the staff, any concerns etc.
I witnessed the dedication during Covid and the extended "Lock down". There was close adherence to all the rules, to keep the residents safe and was glad that Mom was there.

Overall Experience

It is such a difficult decision to move into care, but we really could not have found a better 'new home' for my mum. It is never going to be the same as 'at home', but all the staff take the trouble to get to know their residents and spend quality time with them. Everyone is always friendly and pleasant,

which gives a real sense of community. I would highly recommend Linden Lodge to anyone who needs peace of mind that your relative will be well cared for.

Overall Experience

My dad has been at Linden Lodge since January 2021 which was during the covid days! So we couldn’t visit or even “check out the home!” However, the communication was excellent and we felt Dad was looked after. When we were able to visit the precautions were great and made us feel Dad was safe. The staff

have always made myself and my family feel welcome. They know Dad and talk about him with real affection. From the amazing cleaners to the great carers (two staff members especially) I can’t thank them enough for looking after Dad now that we are unable to.

Overall Experience

You read a lot in the comments on here about 'being part of the Linden Lodge family' but that is so true and it has been home for my mum for a number of years now and the level of care provided is and always has been to an extremely high standard.
It takes a huge team effort to deliver that care, and

it is not just the carers and nurses, there is a whole team at all different levels working behind the scenes that are all part of the 'family' that make Linden Lodge stand out because of what everyone at every level does day in day out.
My mum enjoys the entertainment that comes into the home, and that takes many forms, and despite her disability, she enjoys it and the people coming in, engage with her and everyone else to make them feel special.
As a relative I also feel part of that 'Linden Lodge family' and I know my mum is safe and looked after, and that makes a big difference.

Overall Experience

My dad has been a resident of Linden Lodge since January 2022 and I could not recommend highly enough the care that he receives. I always intended for my dad to end his days in his own home and when he became unable to look after himself I tried the private care route with live-in carers in his own

home and this was a disaster with carers who didn't care. I moved him to Linden Lodge and his health immediately picked up due to the care he received and the compassion, friendliness and love that all staff gave him. The accommodation, the meals and the general atmosphere are all perfect. My dad is happy, content and exceptionally well looked after and it is certainly down to all the staff at Linden Lodge.
Thank you for everything.

Mum has been in Linden Lodge since April 23, having to move from a previous care home due to needing 24-hour nursing care. The home is welcoming and exceptionally clean. All the staff are kind and caring, meeting Mum's individual needs, and nothing is too much trouble for them, and there is always someone

willing to listen should I have any worries.
Mum is happy and talks of Linden Lodge as her home. It is reassuring to know that she has such a professional team looking after her.

I'm very pleased and happy that my brother is very well cared for since he came up here since last September 2022. All the family see him every week now he’s up here, so very cheerful and always got a smile on his face. All the staff are fantastic with my brother and give him dignity and respect. They

are all very warm and welcoming every time you walk into the nursing home. I’m so grateful to them all, knowing he’s well looked after. A very big thank you to you all.
