  • Lindley Grange Care Home, Huddersfield
Staff at Lindley Grange offer a professional and friendly nursing care service to people living with dementia. Care plans are also provided to people who are looking for convalescence and respite and to those who require palliative care.

This purpose-built home has been carefully designed to provide high quality accommodation and facilities. All bedrooms are ensuite and have a 24 hour call system.

Within walking distance to nearby village Lindley, the home is on the main bus route to Huddersfield, a short 2 minute walk from the home with buses every 10 minutes throughout the day and every 20 mins on a Sunday, making the home easily accessible for visiting friends and family.

Local amenities such as shops, café, opticians and pub are a short walk from the home as well as the local hospital, GP, library and local parks.

The on-site chef works hard to cater for each resident’s dietary needs and provides a hot and cold option at every mealtime. A personalised birthday cake is always made for residents’ birthdays.

The home provides a seven days a week activity programme which includes trips out to the local village, music therapy every fortnight, themed events such as cruise ship and Wimbledon to name a few, flower arranging, armchair exercises and reminiscence activities. There is always something going on at Lindley Grange.

Friends and family are always welcome to join any of the activities.

My sister-in-law has been a resident for approx two years, having previously been in a care home that wasn't meeting her needs. She has advanced dementia, so is unable to take part in the many activities, but is always amongst everyone that can take part. The home always looked very clean and tidy,
and the staff are cheerful and caring and go over and above to make residents happy, catering to individual needs and interests. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Lindley Grange Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your sister-in-law's stay as comfortable as possible.

I go to see my father-in-law with my wife. He is comfortable at Lindley Grange. The staff are always very nice and friendly and give him the great care he deserves. He is now at end of life, and the dignity all the staff give is brilliant. One member of staff still tries to get him involved in activities,
and we can view them on Facebook, but yes, we're happy with all the staff and the manager doing a fabulous job. Keep it up, Lindley Grange.

Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Lindley Grange Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear that your Father-In-Law is comfortable and at ease in our care.

My husband was admitted to Lindley Grange with advanced dementia. The staff looked after him really well. I don’t believe we could have found him anywhere better. Food is cooked on the premises and very good quality. Everyone was very caring and patient with him. They kept an eye on all aspects of his
care and did everything they could to keep him safe and happy. Their communication with me was very good. I particularly appreciated that visitors could visit at any time and without warning, and that dogs were welcome. The activities, which were well organised and varied, were very much appreciated by the residents. The management team was very knowledgeable and sympathetic. I really can’t praise them too highly.

It's Valentine's Day and I have just been along to Lindley Grange to have a celebratory lunch with my partner. The amount of thought and care that has gone into making this a very special occasion for us both is nothing short of amazing.
I would like to thank in particular the activities coordinator,
the hostess and the chef who pulled out all the stops to mark the day with love and a smile.


Thank you Lindley Grange for caring so much.

Professional, efficient care home. The staff are extremely friendly and genuinely seem to care about the residents and it seems like a joined-up approach between the family and staff which is unlike previous homes. Mum was recently in the hospital and said she couldn't wait to get back home meaning
Lindley Grange which says it all I think.

Living in Australia and hearing my wife's mother had vascular dementia was devastating for my wife, though out the years my mother-in-law had visited Australia staying 3 months at a time with us the decision and accepting she was to go into Lindley Grange was a further blow and a huge worry, will someone
hug her, hold her hand, be kind. After visiting in August 2022 for a month my wife and I had a positive experience and we were able to relax knowing the staff at Lindley Grange care home have created an extended family within the home environment, staff regularly talk to residents and get to know them if upset they will take time out to talk to them hold there hand, give them a hug reassure them when needed. I also saw the activities and monthly rosters of what is happening so family members can join in, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the staff, warmest regards.

Taking the decision to move a parent into a care home is heartbreaking but Lindley Grange staff have made this really difficult process so much more bearable for both my dad and our family. The staff from the very outset have shown total compassion and respect to my dad and always spoke to him with
respect and kindness. As family members, we have felt so welcome and visiting dad has felt easier because the staff are supportive and friendly. Dad has settled in so much better than we thought. The home is jolly and the staff smile and laugh and this positively impacts residents. It's clean, and really well maintained, the food is good and always great activities and entertainment going on for residents. Thank you for accepting my dad and making him happy and safe.

Reply from Rebecca Kellegher, Customer Service Adviser at Lindley Grange Care Home

The home has been good from the beginning of our association with them. My wife went there from the hospital and after a period of time, she settled in well. This is mainly down to the wonderful staff. We are grateful to them for making the home so pleasant.

I have been visiting Lindley Grange Care Home for 3 years. It's very welcoming and they treat their residents with love, just like a home from home there are plenty of hugs and kisses and tons of care for residents and their families.

Just like to say the staff are all friendly and helpful, always on hand to explain anything that I wanted to know. I feel that Mum is in a safe and well-supported team that cares about their patients in the care home. I think it is a wonderful place and the staff are great too.

My mum was treated with dignity and compassion throughout her two-year stay. I do believe she was allowed to join activities if she wanted to, but not forced into anything she didn't want to do. Towards the end of her life, her care was very good, and I cannot fault any of her care.

I cannot praise Lindley Grange enough. The service they give is excellent to all of them. I cannot state my admiration enough. The care and attention to duty is incredible, everyone is friendly and helpful and is at present taking great care of my mother. Though personally, I don't want to end up in
a care home, does anyone, but if it did come to be, this home would have my 100% blessing. They are number one.

My dad came into Lindley Grange Care Home during covid; it was so hard for us all and very confusing for him as he was discharged from hospital straight to the home. Moving on from this very traumatic time, I’m so happy that dad had settled here. He can’t walk, is doubly incontinent and can’t really
form a full sentence; but he is content and the staff work above and beyond to accommodate his needs. They are kind to him and are patient with us as we’ve had emotional ups and downs and essentially we’re grieving for a dad who’s still alive but not the dad and husband he was. I am glad dad is in Lindley Grange Care Home; when I leave I’m not worried about him. On mum's birthday the staff bought flowers and organised tea and cake; they make a massive effort in what is an incredibly hard job. The staff are kind, gentle and respectful with dad. Thank you for taking such good care of him. I would recommend the care home to anyone with complex dementia needs.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Lindley Grange Care Home

Without a doubt, the greatest asset at Lindley Grange is the staff. At the end of the day, everything else is secondary; it is the quality of the staff that ultimately determines the success of a care home. Caring for residents with dementia is extremely challenging, requiring dedication, patience,
and above all, empathy. Working in a dementia care home needs to be considered a vocation, not just a job. I've seen this first-hand with my father; the staff genuinely care for him and strive to enhance his quality of life, despite his often challenging needs and behaviours. The home's Facebook page offers an excellent portal into daily life at the home. The obvious joy on all the faces - both residents and staff - tells you more than any review can about the warm and caring environment fostered by the staff. Highly recommended.

My auntie has been at Lindley Grange for almost a year now and during this time the care she has received has been exceptional, she appears to be very happy and settled, there is always lots of activities taking place, which everybody thoroughly enjoys and although my aunt isn't able to join in many
of them the ones that she does partake in are very person-centred and totally meet her needs. The staff are amazing, all very conscientious and they treat everybody with dignity and respect, nothing is ever too much trouble any issues are dealt with swiftly and efficiently, the home is kept very clean and tidy and there is currently a scheme of decorative improvement's taking place which are dementia friendly, meals are very nutritious and are freshly cooked each day and there is always plenty of choices. Overall I would highly recommend Lindley Grange, it truely is a home from home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.895)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.895) out of 10 for Lindley Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.895 for Lindley Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (421 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 467 Ratings = 4.895

  • 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 Lindley Grange Care Home is based on 40 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 40 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
