Although my father was only in the home for a very short time. He was treated with dignity and respect during the end of life process. The staff were very friendly and approachable and it was obvious they enjoyed their jobs. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I am unable to score many of the options
given ie Food & Drink, Activities etc as these didn't apply to my father so I've only marked them as good. Thank you to all at Linson Court.

Sometimes our neighbour has told us that she has asked to be dressed and go into the communal room to sit, but, seem to disregard her wishes. Sometimes when they ask her, do you understand, that she tells them that she cant be bothered especially if she is not well, but maybe to try and persuade her
to dress may be better for her and possibly prevent any future bed sores which may arise.

Dad arrived yesterday from another care home. He got a very friendly welcome and they made him feel wanted. Room lovely with a great view- though it needs a lick of paint.

My stepmother moved into this care home in September 2015 after five weeks in hospital, too thin and fail to go home. Now she can walk again and has put on weight from all the lovely meals. She has an en-suite bathroom which is nice and clean. There is a dining room and lounge with weekday entertainment.
I think the staff I've met care caring and polite and the residents are looked after. My dad has now moved in as he needs 24 hour care, he says he likes it. There are two floors dads on the bottom. The carers take him up the lift to have tea with his partner some days but meal times are the busiest. I think we were so lucky to have them put in this home together.

On first impression the property looked clean and smelt homely. Spotlessly clean. Fantastically friendly approachable staff. It seems very person centred environment. This will be my Nanna's new home.

My mother moved here from hospital in October. The care and friendliness of the staff has been excellent. She is content within the situation that she finds herself. The only slight complaint is that she finds the food not quite hot enough on occasions.

Reply from Rachel, CEO at Linson Court

Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad to hear your mother is settling well. We will take your feedback on food temperature on board, thank you.

We are well pleased with the care my mum is receiving all the staff are very obliging and very kind to mum. I myself find all the staff helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Linson Court to other people who are looking somewhere for their relative.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My brother has had a stroke which has left him partially blind, my sister-in-law has dementia. I go to visit them regularly. My sister-in-law has been in care for nearly two years and my brother 9 months. Both are settled in, and are well cared for. When I have been the staff have always been kind and
patient with all the residents. My brother says he has no complaints about the treatment.
The residents and their rooms are always clean and tidy. There is only one fault I have found, there does not seem top be a lot of activities going on, maybe it's because there are a few stroke and dementia people there, otherwise the home seems to be one of the good ones.

Reply from Rachel Dryden, CEO at Linson Court

Thank you for your review. We value your feedback and are pleased your relatives are happy at Linson Court. We are currently reviewing our activities programme and plan to offer additional activities to all residents going forwards.

Excellent care given to my husband who can do nothing for himself. All staff are caring and enjoy being with the older people they look after so well. There is a set routine but plenty of flexibility if I want something different. They make lots of Best Interest decisions, as my husband has dysphasia,
and they always get it right. My husband is now relaxed and happy after a difficult few years.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.419)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.419) out of 10 for Linson Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.419 for Linson Court is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 136 Ratings = 4.419

  • 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 Linson Court is based on 10 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 10 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.
