I'm not sure I will find the right words to write this review, but Linfield House and all the staff are fabulous, professional, kind, patient and very understanding. Both of my parents were at Linfield, my Dad, sadly for palliative care, and my mum as she suffers from dementia. There is no other place like Linfield, and I truly will always be grateful for everything they did for both of my parents. You feel like one of the family, and the residents are treated by the carers like their own family. Thank you to all the staff at Linfield; you all are special people and all wonderful too. A special thanks to all the team.

Our mum was a resident at the home for a happy three years and sadly passed away recently. During all this time the empathy, professionalism and skill of the team was first-class. The care Mum received was excellent and the support to our family was always a priority even when extra work was created. I couldn't recommend Linfield Guild Care any higher.

My sister has been a resident on Whitcombe Suite for four years, she has been very well cared for, and staff have dealt with her changing needs with care and consideration. She has remained cheerful and is always greeted with a smile and a chat from the laundry staff, cleaners, carers and nurses. The food is really good with a choice which is appreciated. She loves the company and numerous activities in the lounge arranged by the activities staff who organise wonderful entertainment. From the friendly reception as you enter to the welcome cups of tea and cake in the afternoon I thank you.

My mum had Alzheimer's and dementia and we got to the stage where we felt Mums needs would best be met in residential care. Mum settled in well, was eating better than she had been at home and joining in with the mostly daily activities. Unfortunately, she had a fall in the night, she was examined in hospital but was returned to Linfield House. The care staff supported Mum to improve her mobility. Unfortunately, Mum's dementia deteriorated very suddenly, and despite the very best efforts of the staff, Mum's condition declined and she died in late September. I was so impressed with the genuine care, affection and respect afforded my Mum whilst she resided in Linfield, including domiciliary, care, nursing and management staff. The staff also cared for us, her daughters as Mum reached the end of her life, I just can't praise and thank them enough.

My mum moved into Linfield House in June 2024, in the late stages of Alzheimer's. After it became unsafe for her to be at home. Mum was losing the ability to eat and drink and the staff continually encouraged her to try and eat. As soon as entering Linfield's you can feel the warmth and friendship. From the very start the staff made Mum feel loved and cared for. Every member of the team were friendly and caring and nothing was too much trouble for them. The staff at the home encouraged Mum to join in with activities when she could. The staff at the home had very good communication and if there were any issues I was contacted straight away to keep me informed. Sadly Mum lost her fight in September, the last four months of her life were better for her being at Linfield's. Anybody who is having doubts for their family member please feel reassured that this a welcoming and amazing home, I only wish that we had moved her there sooner.

My late sister was cared for by the very dedicated team at Linfield House during the advanced stage of Parkinson's disease. They were gentle, kind, supportive and encouraging, especially during the last weeks of her life. Their loving care extended to me and our family when we also had bad days coping. Linfield House is light, airy, spacious with a calm atmosphere, is very clean with good rooms, excellent food and activities programme. I knew it was the right place as soon as I walked around the facilities and met the manager and some of the staff.

My parents, both of whom have Dementia, have been residing at Linfield House for almost a year now. I have nothing but praise for all the Carers and Nurses at Seldon Suite. They display unwavering devotion, respect and care at all times towards my parents and the other residents, enabling them to retain their dignity. The carers and nurses undertake what must be a very challenging role at times and their patience and understanding are undeniably to be applauded. I would recommend Linfield House without hesitation.

My mum has Dementia and couldn't cope living independently anymore, and after a respite stay at Linfield, she decided she wanted to live there permanently. This was a great decision as she is now much happier in herself, and we, the family, can rest assured she is well cared for and all her needs are met. The staff are lovely, and the home is equally lovely. Communication has always been great. Here's hoping Mum remains as happy and enjoys the rest of her life at her new home.

We feel so lucky to have found Linfield House for my mum. Not only is she safe but she is with staff who have taken the time to get to know her and to genuinely care about her as well as for her. We are so pleased to see her smiling and joining in with the many activities on offer.

I hold Power of Attorney for a good friend who has always relished her independence. When she became unable to live safely on her own it was a huge challenge to find appropriate residential care, but Linfield House has provided a supportive and caring environment. Staff have taken the time to get to know her as a person and are interested in her 'background story'. The nursing staff are excellent at keeping in touch if there are any concerns, visitors are welcomed like family, and the inevitable 'tricky situations' amongst a significant proportion of people living with dementia are managed with compassion and good humour. Management, Carers, Nurses, Reception, Housekeeping, Maintenance and Kitchen Staff all play their part in this.

I am delighted with the way my mother is being cared for, particularly when staff spend time with her and listen to her when she is anxious or upset. She is always encouraged to ask for help when she needs it, but is also allowed to be independent whenever she can, which helps her self-esteem.

My mum has been in the Richmond Suite at Linfield for over a year now. The staff were amazing in helping Mum to settle in. It was a daunting time for her with dementia, but one that was made so much easier with person-centred care and support. Mum has continued to be happy and content feeling safe. Linfield has a varied program of daily events which she loves joining in with, helping to stimulate her and maintain her interaction with others. The staff are approachable and happy to discuss anything. They all know and understand Mum well, so quickly pick up on any concerns. The manager even has an open-door policy, which is great. It is so reassuring to know mum is well looked after, and is safe. Thank you everyone.

All of the staff at Linfield were incredibly kind, caring and patient with my Granny. They were brilliant at communicating with us in a timely appropriate way and we felt that all of her needs were met. They were very good at giving nursing care when it was needed and liaising with medical staff including the GP. I felt they really understood her needs including her dementia. The food looked excellent and of a high quality and my Granny enjoyed it. Her room was always clean and tidy and it was well furnished. The home felt peaceful and calm but I was also very impressed with the daily activities and entertainment on offer. I will always remember the kindness given to my granny from all the staff - they were truly excellent. We felt supported as a family when we visited and staff were available to talk to if we wanted. I felt they got to know my Granny very well despite her only being there for a relatively short amount of time.

My wife and I act as power of attorney for an elderly friend. We were impressed when we visited Linfield and she has been there since early December. After an initial trial period, she has settled in remarkably well. The staff are caring, supportive and kind. The activities are varied, interesting and entertaining. As power of attorney, we are kept informed and always warmly welcomed when we visit several times each week. We thoroughly recommend Linfield as a caring and warm environment which our elderly friend now happily calls home.

My cousin says that she is very happy at Linfield House. She says that the staff are very kind to her and the food is good. She likes her room and I was so pleased she has a lovely large room with 2 windows and an ensuite. There is plenty of wall space for her pictures and shelves for photos and ornaments. She has a landline phone on the table so we can call her. We needed a few conversations to ensure she was offered only fish, not meat but this was soon remedied. If she has any medical issues the nurses phone me the same day to inform me. I feel very happy with my cousin being looked after at Linfield House and feel she is safe. It is expensive but I was told by several people that it is the best care home in Worthing so that was my priority when choosing.

All the staff I have had contact with have been really lovely. They went over and above to make my mother's birthday really special. She has greatly improved since being in their care and living her best life.

Mum had over two years here. She was very happy and well looked after. After a stroke a few weeks prior to her death the care was extremely good and I couldn't have wished for better care. Thoroughly recommended.
06 May 2023
Mum has been cared for at Linfield for 7 years now. Her changing care needs have been dealt with proactively and professionally and I am included in discussions about her care plan. If there are any concerns I will always get a call. Consistent core staffing ensures she is looked after by carers that know her well and recognise her needs as she can no longer express them. The carers are warm, thoughtful and inclusive to residents and visitors. They create a relaxed family atmosphere in the lounge. I am very happy with Mum's care and I would recommend Linfield to anyone.
28 February 2023
My mum stayed at Linfield for 13 nights, following admission to the hospital for complications from Covid and a head injury from several falls. From the moment she was greeted, until the moment she left, the staff were delightful, treated her with compassion and respect and genuinely seemed to care. The staff communicated well with me, as well, which meant a lot. The room was bright and clean and the food was pretty good - there was flexibility for dietary requirements. I would recommend this home, as it was the best place for my mum to gain her strength and confidence before returning home.
22 February 2023
My mother stayed with you for ten days of respite and the level of care was extremely poor. Even when she arrived, the BP machine wasn't working and never was taken until I asked a week later. Carers were generally very young and disinterested. Examples: given laxatives unbeknown which caused an accident and she wasn't showered. Had to bring in blankets because there is one thin sheet. No one came into the room unless she rang the bell. No stool at the sink for her to sit whilst she washed. Woken at 6 am to take paracetamol. No proactive engagement. TV remote not working etc. Now she is somewhere else I realise how bad it was!
