View Full Details of Linden Lodge Care HomeMy sister, who is 83 years and suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, has been a resident at Linden Lodge for about three years. Despite all my sister's difficulties, the staff have handled her with kindness, care and great patience. After a brief episode in hospital, my sister was very happy to return to her care home and so were the family. I cannot thank them enough for the sympathy and dedication that they have shown to my sister.
My brother has suffered from schizophrenia from the age of 18 and has needed special care since. In his case, this can be very challenging for the staff at times as he has little desire to do anything. The staff here have demonstrated they are very understanding and patient with him as he can become very withdrawn and has no motivation to look after himself or carry out the basic self-hygiene tasks. The staff ensure that he has regular dental, eye and GP checks, and accompany him for these checks whenever necessary. They do an excellent job of taking care of him and encouraging him in all aspects to participate in as much as possible within his limitations. Even though he blames his illness on a lot of external factors, he's very happy to live at Linden Lodge and has repeatedly said so. The home is of a high standard with a very friendly atmosphere and the manager and staff are excellent. I'm very happy that he is cared for so well in such a well run home.
This home is clean, attractively decorated and with a welcoming air. The staff are friendly and caring, especially the manager and assistant manager. They give serious individual attention to each of their residents, taking their particular needs and interests into consideration and going out of their way to satisfy them as far as possible within the resident's own limitations. My friend looks much better cared for and more energetic than he has been for some years.
Our son is a young man with complex needs including depression and autistic spectrum disorders compounded by learning disability and he is very vulnerable to manipulation and exploration. As he is high functioning he has a lot of ability but needs protecting from these risks. He has been very unhappy in previous placements where staff dislike responding to requests for help and little by little he has lost confidence and sunk deeper into depression. All that changed when he moved to Linden Lodge. He was genuinely shocked that each time he asked a staff member to help him with something that he needed help with the staff member responded positively and actually helped him. He couldn’t believe his luck. In less than six months, with the dedicated support and care of the home manager and other staff he has learned to trust, he has made really positive decisions about his future and he is so happy. It is a homely, lovely place run excellently with the highest standards of care.
