  • 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.

Fabulous place for your loved ones. They are looked after well. The food, rooms, and care are brilliant. So good to know how happy my dad is. He particularly enjoys the activities that are regular and varied. I would recommend the home.

My dad has been in Lindley Grange for just over a year now, he looks so happy and they do some wonderful activities with him, he is extremely sociable and enjoys joining in, always says the staff are lovely and the food is great, he is settled, and he always looks clean, it’s been difficult with the
lockdown but had Whatsup calls with him, and great to see what he’s up to on a social media page, cannot thank you guys enough, keep up the good work.

My friend's husband is in this care home and she is very elderly so I take her to see her husband. The staff are amazing always keep in touch to let us know how he's doing using Skype in the lockdown. They can't do enough for you so we know he is well looked after by the staff, and all the residents
seem content. There are always activities going on and his wife loves to see all the pictures of him. Perfect.

Lindley Grange have been fantastic with my mum. Management, nurses, and care staff are all fabulous. My mum has dementia and since having a nasty fall at another care home the staff made the transition into Lindley Grange a settled one for her. My mum unfortunately is chair bound now but Lindley Grange
staff all look after her so well and try to entertain her best they can. After a few months of recuperating, she began to smile and interact more. I believe this is because of the care she is receiving and the fact that she is treated with dignity. Time is spent with all residents and all that staff do to entertain is also on Facebook for me to track. There have been some lovely pictures of my mum. Communication is excellent too especially during covid times. If there are any problems they always ring and keep me updated. I never feel that I have to chase up anything.
Decor could do with an update but I believe that will happen soon. It is clean. Thank you for taking good care of my mum.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Lindley Grange Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad to know that you are happy with the care that your mum is receiving at Lindley Grange and that you have found all our staff to be "fabulous".

I cannot praise Lindley Grange high enough as my ratings indicate. I would like to say the staff are second to none. As I am the world's worst visitor, even with the COVID test pre-visit I am made to feel relaxed before seeing my brother who has Alzheimer's. I can not pretend to enjoy seeing my brother
this way, but the staff make it tolerable, thank you.

Reply from Amanda Barnes, Customer Service Adviser at Lindley Grange Care Home

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. It is lovely to hear that you are happy with your brother in our care and are made to feel relaxed when visiting him. Thank you for choosing Lindley Grange for your brother's stay.

I went to visit my very good friend for the 1st time I have been able to for many months. It was lovely to be reunited again after long months of pandemic separation. How time went so quick whilst I was with her, we had some catching up to do and remembering times past and good holidays. I am going
again to see her in a fortnights time and dearly hope we aren't hampered by COVID restrictions once again. The staff involved in my visit were very kind and looked after me.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Lindley Grange Care Home

My dad went into hospital suddenly and unexpectedly and we had to find a respite home quickly for my mum who has early-stage dementia.
While she was there, Mum constantly waxed lyrical on how kind and attentive the carers are. She noted how patient and actually loving they were, not just with her,
but with the other more advanced residents with more difficult and complex needs. Mum loved the meals and found the room warm, clean and comfortable. She felt that being in respite at Lindley Grange Care Home was more like a holiday than a stressful separation.
I would highly recommend this care home if your relative is very advanced with Alzheimer's, they will be loved, cossetted and looked after very well.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Lindley Grange Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is always so nice to hear words like "kind, attentive. loving and patient" used to describe our staff. We are glad to have been able to help your mum during this difficult time and it's good to know she felt it was like a holiday too.

The staff have been amazing at looking after my Dad. We are updated as often as needed regarding anything he needs and are regularly video called so we can keep seeing Dad even through the pandemic. The staff seem to genuinely care for the residents and cater to their every need. Couldn't recommend
Lindley Grange enough!

My mum has only recently been admitted to the home, and she was scared to death of the idea of a "home". However, having been able to visit their week, she and I needn't have worried. She is safe, secure, happy and cared for by a team that is dedicated and empathetic. Her being here has helped my mental
health too, and I look forward to sitting in the garden with her.

Reply from Melanie Cope, Customer Service Adviser at Lindley Grange Care Home

Thank you so much for taking your time to leave a review for us. We are so glad that mum settled in well and feels safe and secure despite her original fears!

The care and support of the amazing staff at Lindley Grange has given our family the comfort of knowing Dad is truly cared about, treated as an individual and engaged in the life and family of this home. Their regular calls, newsletters and updates have meant that, very quickly, we too feel part of
the family.

The home is always very clean and staff make you welcome. My husband settled in very quickly which was a relief for me. I am now able to go and see him in the pod after many months of lockdown. Seeing Facebook helps relatives to see just how the residents enjoy being there.

I think the staff are excellent at Lindley Grange and pre COVID, I visited my dad regularly here. They were so welcoming, always engaging towards my dad and his needs and always notified of any of his health issues. There is a nice family feel to the environment and I truly can’t thank the staff enough
for how they treat my dad - always with respect and dignity. I saw my dad today (on my birthday) and they had helped him make a card for me and bought me some flowers and a bun. I wasn’t expecting that but it was such a nice gesture as they realise how hard it is in the families too. Thank you all. I would highly recommend any family to look at this nursing home as an option.

From the moment my husband entered Lindley Grange he has been treated like a member of the family. He is dealt with the utmost respect, dignity and patience. The wonderful staff take time to chat with him and on occasions where he has been distressed or agitated reassure him in the most calm and caring
manner. Each day I phone the home and every single person I speak to asks me how I am. Our family are so grateful that my husband is in a warm, safe and caring environment in what is a hard time for us.

My daughters and I have just lost a much-loved father and husband after five months of exceptional care at Lindley Grange. We are all convinced that this would have happened much earlier without their ongoing commitment to his wellbeing. His final months have been worth living thanks to the amazing
staff. Even during his last few hours when we were finally allowed to be with him, he was treated with such love and dignity by all the staff. We cannot emphasise how impressive they all were and how much this helped us all come to terms with his loss.

The staff are absolutely amazing, even with the lockdown. When my husband went in, I feel I’ve got to know them so well, either through phone calls or window visits, they always come out to chat. My lovely hubby of 62 had to go in from a crisis point, I’ve not been able to see his bedroom or see how
he interacts (the staff fill me in), but I know there is no better place for him apart from home. Roll on proper visits when I can come into Lindley Grange, can’t wait to become part of your family. Thank you all.

Mum has been at Lindley Grange a few months now after struggling at a couple of care homes, her care since coming to Lindley has been exemplary, and she has settled here much better. The staff seem very attentive and have looked after her needs and helped her settle in, despite the problems brought
about by Covid. It has been a great relief to find somewhere that can cope with mum’s various needs, and helping me to feel more confident in the care she is given.

Lindley Grange has surpassed our expectations on every level when it comes to making Dad comfortable, happy and feel right at home. His symptoms are managed thoughtfully and his wellbeing is given time, effort and energy by the dedicated team. We don't think of them as staff; they are family. During
the pandemic, we have been reassured to receive updates on Dad's wellbeing. We have especially loved the photos of all the activities he has been involved in (thank you). It's clear a lot of thought and care goes into organising these activities, never a dull moment! We couldn't wish for anything better for Dad. He deserves the best.

Our experience was similar to that when my wife stayed at Lindley Grange for a week last August. I cannot comment on many of the aspects. When we arrived we were greeted by two staff members who were very friendly and welcoming. The reception area was clean, tidy and fragrant. On collection, my wife
was tidy and happy though pleased to see us. Her belongings were cleaned and packed carefully with her luggage. The reception area and staff were all as when we arrived.

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.
