Staff are very helpful and kind, helping Mum to settle in, and keep safe. Plenty of activities for Mum to be involved in, and very prompt and sensible attention when she was unwell. Mum likes the meals and says she has friends there, which has helped her settle too. For me, staff are very helpful and supportive, nothing is too much trouble. Very pleased.

The staff are always pleasant and demonstrate a very caring and comfortable environment. The one-to-one care is exceptional - and it is a real comfort to know my friend is so well looked after - she also is calm and relaxed when the carer is attending.

I count myself extremely fortunate to have been able to have my wife accepted as a resident in The Lindsay Care Home. The care she is receiving is exemplary, and it is a great comfort to know that she is safe and superbly looked after. I spend some five hours every day at the home, giving me ample opportunities to assess the attitude and professionalism of the staff. They are magnificent in every respect, from the cleaners and the kitchen staff to the nurses and activities personnel to the management team.

The home and its staff provided the perfect post-operation recovery service. Supportive without being intrusive. I thoroughly recommend for a few weeks of post-operative care.

Good atmosphere. As the service user's wife talking to the nursing staff (daytime) they are all friendly and professional. My husband was in for two weeks respite after a three-week stay in hospital.

Mum spent five months at The Lindsay Care Home, and after the first two weeks, she felt at home. The food was lovely, the room was comfy, staff very friendly. Everyone was very supportive of Mum's English as an additional language and no mobility. All her personal needs were met daily. Thank you so much for all the special moments including Blue Monday Disco, Valentine's Day cake, Women's Day flowers and birthday cake, cards and flowers just a week before she passed away. It was so special for Mum and for us. Thank you.

The staff are very friendly I was very pleased with the room which is ensuite and has everything he needs. We enjoy our meals in the restaurant where they are very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. One of the ladies is a credit to the team. Not only does she help in the restaurant but does many other things including hairdressing. All these things make such a difference.

The carers and staff at The Lindsay Care Home are excellent. They are doing an amazing job at looking after my dad, they are all incredibly friendly and helpful and are there to answer any question that I have. They make my dad feel comfortable and happy, they go above and beyond with his care and I am grateful that he is in the best possible care.

The home is like a five-star hotel. The staff are sociable and approachable and make the care home feel like home the food is top quality. Whenever I have needed help I have been assisted immediately. I am very pleased to be living here.

Mother has enjoyed her stay at The Lindsay. All the staff have been very welcoming and caring.

My mother lived at The Lindsay Care Home from September 2022 until her death on 30/11/2023. Mum felt very welcome, comfortable and happy from the moment we entered the building - she never looked back. She loved all the activities, made friends and found the staff excellent and caring. As her daughter, living in the Midlands, I was anxious as I couldn't check in on her every week. Although there were some lapses in care on some weekends, staff were very responsive, it was usually due to a lack of staff /staff illness. Overall I would highly recommend it, and the home organised a wonderful wake for her - above and beyond what we expected. My sister and I are very grateful.

My father was getting lonely at home so we suggested a 'holiday respite' stay. I live nearby. After a pre-stay visit, a two-week stay was booked. He had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back for another stay. He especially enjoyed the food as he can be quite fussy. He couldn't thank the staff enough. They were wonderful and even managed to get him to join in activities.

A very caring environment with a range of activities, competent and caring staff and expert nursing staff.

I was diagnosed with Motor neurone disease in February and deteriorated very quickly. My spirit was low, and my desire to live was non-existent. Being referred to The Lindsay Care Home from the hospital is the best thing that could have happened to me! I have been blessed with very willing and competent staff to attend to my medical and personal care needs. The food here is very good, and the chefs are always willing to accommodate culinary variation at the drop of a hat. Spiritually and psychologically, I am also blessed with participating in the structure of the daily activities. The management team have been very supportive and forthcoming with organising external activities that I have wanted to achieve. As much as my physical abilities have deteriorated, I have been supported to maintain independence at meal times. Most importantly as I am spending the final chapter of my life here, I have been blessed to have fun and laughter created with all the staff!
07 June 2023
From the warm welcome on arrival to the homely atmosphere, my husband immediately relaxed and has continued to make wonderful progress, helped by caring and attentive staff who are always available. The food is first-class, plentiful and beautifully served. I am so glad we found this haven of care and kindness and recommend it to anyone.

The staff are always very friendly and cannot do enough to support the service user and the service users visiting family and friends, whilst always presenting and maintaining professionalism. The facilities e.g. bedrooms, and general surroundings are first class. Great care is given at mealtimes to ensure that the service user has a choice of food. What is important is that the food is able to be seen first and not chosen from a menu the day before. Having managed in my professional life establishments such as The Lindsay and looking at places to place our sister, I have not found anything that comes anywhere near The Lindsay for overall caring and support. I cannot say how pleased I am at finding The Lindsay.

I have been extremely happy since arriving at The Lindsay Care Home. I was ill when I arrived here, my daughter noticed a big difference in me due to the attention and care from the staff. The food is excellent. The staff make sure that every day is a really good day, excellent activities. The home has a clean and happy feel. Could not ask for any more.

I am very happy with the care my husband receives here at The Lindsay Care Home. The staff make all the difference, they are exceptional. It gives me great peace of mind when I leave him to go home.

Mum has been at Lindsay Care Home for just over a month. Since arriving here the change in her happiness and health has been amazing. The staff are wonderful and Mum sees them as her extended family. She joins in all the activities and it's great to see her laughing again. Mum has suffered badly with her feet as previously she didn't have the medical care and was always in terrible pain, but she s so much better now. Many thanks.

From the initial viewing of the home and my father's settling in, I have been so impressed with how great the transition has been. The stand-out feature for my relatives and I, is the welcoming and caring manner all the staff have shown and that nothing is too much trouble.
