Overall Experience

Lyndale Nursing Home cares for my grandma. As a family, we couldn’t ask for a better home for her to be in. The staff work exceptionally hard and genuinely care about their residents. Whenever we have visited we are made to feel welcome and the staff always go above and beyond. It feels like an extended

family. My grandma has put a healthy amount of weight on and always looks immaculate. During lockdown, the staff have cut her hair, painted her nails, made her a birthday cake, put music on for her and given us numerous video calls to name but a few of the amazing things they do. I am so grateful for all the work that they do. She is treated with the respect and dignity that she deserves. As a family, we feel so lucky to have found such a beautiful home for her to live in. Thank you for everything.

Many thanks for this lovely review. We all find your Gran a delight to look after. She is a very special lady anyway, as she is a "fellow nurse" who has worked hard all her life so deserves a nice rest now.

Overall Experience

Following Mum's stroke in May 2020 (+10 weeks in hospital) we needed somewhere close to me. Lyndale immediately asked me to visit and the atmosphere then was warm, welcoming and caring of our situation. The transition from another health authority was amazing. Everything organised quickly and efficiently.

Mum has settled well, thinks the food is good as is everything else.
Communication has been excellent. Not easy to settle into something new at 90 but the Lyndale has made it so smooth and Mum is happy. Well done.

Overall Experience

Mum has been at Lyndale for 18months and was welcomed with love and care at once. Everyone is tuned-in to how she is feeling.
During the most difficult last few months because of covid, all the wonderful people working at Lyndale have done their utmost to keep everyone safe, secure and happy and to

keep up the morale of their residents. Our family feel that our mum is so well cared for, safe and loved at Lyndale.

Overall Experience

I can only thank all the Lyndale staff for the years of good care they gave my late mother since she arrived in August 2016. She came into their safe hands after a brush with death when, in my opinion, she had become totally dehydrated in another care home during the summer heat. At the Lyndale proper

hydration is something they take seriously and Mum built up her strength and I and her two granddaughters had the joy of her company for more than another three years. It was a credit to the staff that she kept going even during the ongoing lock-down through to mid-May when her time really was up at 96. In that difficult, stressful period we could have absolute trust and confidence that she was in their safe hands. The nursing staff and others looked after her so gently and sensitively in those final days. We really appreciated those precious last FaceTime, WhatsApp and phone call sessions. And it meant so much to us that Mum was not alone when she left this world. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My mum was transferred to Lyndale from hospital on an end of life package. She was extremely frail and confused and the staff helped her to settle into her very clean and pleasant room quickly. She was always treated with respect and dignity. She was encouraged to take part in craft activities. Both

my mum and family were shown kindness and consideration.
Lyndale has a lovely homely, warm atmosphere and staff are always approachable.

Overall Experience

My dear mum has been in Lyndale Nursing Home for 6 years, since her devastating stroke. She has always had wonderful care and the staff have always helped her to maintain her dignity. The home is spotlessly clean, the food fresh and nourishing and tailored to individual residents and family and friends

are always made to feel welcome and valued. I would highly recommend Lyndale and will always thank them for looking after Mum.

Reply from Liz Swift, Manager at Lyndale Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words. We thank you also for entrusting the care of your mum to us all here at The Lyndale. We pride ourselves upon providing the best possible care and support and value our family relationships built around our residents.

Overall Experience

It's been a long time since I've seen my friend's Grandmother but I visited a happy, busy, chatty lady - just like she used to be. My worries of visiting her in a care environment were diminished. It's a beautiful home with a warm, homely and bubbly environment. Residents, staff and visitors all seemed

so smiley! I'm so glad I went to visit, it has definitely recovered my views of a nursing home, a wonderful place!

This was my mothers first Christmas here. Management and staff were excellent, making her feel at home and all the family welcome. They made what was a difficult time easier, knowing she was safe, cared for and well looked after.
Received a Christmas card, handmade by my mother, completed as an activity,

that was unexpected and very heartwarming.

Overall Experience

What is remarkable about Lyndale Nursing Home is that there is a high standard of clinical nurses care. There is also an emphasis on psychological and related care. My Mother's present emotional needs are valued and considered. Support staff show a genuine relationship with my Mother and appear sensitive

to her needs. My Mother has been in Lyndale for seven years and it improves year by year, showing that it has an open learning culture that works and does things better. I therefore highly recommend Lyndale Nursing Home.

I believe that my choice from the list of nursing homes that were available to me was, without doubt, the correct one. Not only for my wife but for me to my wife and I were treated with respect and kindness on a daily basis. My wife's condition being very changeable whatever requests I made were carried

out for which I will be forever grateful.

My husband was a resident at Lyndale for 18 months until his death on 9th May 2019. He was always treated with kindness and dignity. I and other visitors were always welcomed. He was relaxed and as happy as possible. His death was peaceful and in the weel prior to it his care was excellent and his room

quiet and calm. I was well cared for. He had as good a death as possible.

I recently came into Lyndale after my husband, my main carer became very ill. I cannot look after myself so Lyndale helps me with everything I need. I have settled into a very nice room and everyone treats me with love and care. I am vegetarian and everything is being done to cater for my likes and

dislikes. The manager goes out shopping for my special foods. I like my privacy so can choose whether to have activities etc or not. I am very settled now.

Lyndale Nursing Home provided my father-in-law with excellent care during his time with them. The staff were patient and attentive to his needs. They enabled him to pass the remaining days of his life in comfort and safety. They were also very caring to family members. My father-in-law's visitors commented

on how kind the staff were and how clean and homely the nursing home was. I would certainly recommend Lyndale Nursing Home.

Overall Experience

Mum has settled into her new home quicker than we anticipated which was attributed to the caring nature of the management team and their colleagues. As a family, we can relax emotionally knowing that mum is now in a safe and loving environment with her intrinsic needs being met whilst being active in

maintaining her dignity and as far as possible her independence. Mum enjoys all of the activities the food and chats with staff and the ladies within the home. We looked at other nursing homes before choosing this one and were greeted with a simple, friendly, welcoming smile which has not stopped since. Very special!

Overall Experience

Both my parents resided at the Lyndale, my dad for a couple of months, my mum for nearly 2 years. I found the staff very friendly and caring and always made time to talk. My mum was always clean and well presented. Despite her dementia, mum always seemed happy there which gave me peace of mind when

I was away on business. During the summer, the staff would take her around the lovely garden at the rear as she loved to be outside. The Lyndale also have a number of activities, exercises singing etc. which kept mum stimulated.
Towards the end of her life, the treatment and care was second to none which allowed my mum to pass away peacefully and with dignity.
