Reviews for Lindum House Care Home

We were looking for a Nursing Home who would look after our much loved dad for his end of life care. We wanted it to be as if he was being cared for in his own home without any hospital atmosphere and with all the love and attention that we would have given him. So glad we found Lindum House. From start to finish their care and devotion given to dad was absolutely faultless. Each time we visited dad we were provided with as many drinks as we needed. Sandwiches and hot food were even offered, which were more than welcomed by us. Thank you so much to all involved at Lindum House. You helped to make an extremely distressing time a little more bearable.

I have visited lindum house twice a week for many years to pamper the ladies and gentlemen doing their hair and nails.
The home is welcoming and friendly.
Staff are very helpful and always on hand to help with anything.
The home is exceptionally clean .
There is often entertainment on when I'm there and the residents have a fab time dancing and singing
The home is very well led by the new manager and team

"Everyone at Lindum House was extraordinary, caring for my mother with such love and respect that her final months gave her the comfort and dignity she deserved. We cannot express in words our gratitude to the Lindum House staff."

"My mother has been a resident at Lindum House for almost a year. She is very happy and cannot commend the management and all the staff highly enough. The home has a family and friendly feel to it. She is well cared for and her individual needs are met with great respect. My mother loves the meals and the mealtime arrangements in the dining room where she can chat with her friends. She says her choosing Lindum House was definitely the best decision."

"My stepmum was cared for at Barchester Lindum House for the last few months of her life until she passed away on New Year's Eve. At all times, she was cared for with empathy, dignity and respect. The care staff went above and beyond to give a high standard of care and treated my stepmum with kindness. They also helped the family and helped my elderly father when I took him to visit. I would be happy to recommend Lindum House to family and friends."

"The care home staff are all pleasant, polite and always work with a smile on their face. They listen to my family member's needs and support her in continuing to be independent as much as possible. There are always activities and events going on and the menu is variable. Excellent care by staff and also very supportive before and after the bereavement of our grandad."

"My sister went into Barchester Lindum House Care Home after being given short months to live. She was made to feel welcome immediately and all family members were welcomed too, I felt that staff genuinely cared and treated my sister with dignity and respect at all times. A dedicated team of care staff and management who I felt went above and beyond to help my sister."

"Barchester Lindum House Nursing Home was my sister's home for the final two weeks of her life. I cannot fault the dedication of the whole staff group, in particular two members of staff are my sister's favourite staff. Thank you all for looking after her so well."

"My mum is a resident here and from initial enquiry and meeting with the manager, everything progressed smoothly and quickly to her admission - which was a discharge from hospital. Mum is being cared for with dignity, respect and compassion and I cannot thank all the staff enough for all they are doing, not only for her but for me and my family too. We feel very supported at a hugely difficult and emotional time. All the staff have welcomed us in with open arms and reassured us. Mum is developing lovely relationships with the staff as they get to know her. The home has a calm relaxed atmosphere and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone thinking of here for themselves or for a loved one. Thank you to all the nurses, carers and staff, you’re doing an amazing job!"

"This home and the carers/nurses/management/cleaning staff/kitchen and laundry staff and not forgetting the 2 handymen are absolutely brilliant. So that's every member of staff sorry if I forgot anyone. They all helped us through a difficult time with Dad, who unfortunately passed whilst here in June, and are now giving Mum first-class care. Care, food, cleanliness, and support for us are excellent. I would and have recommended it to all."

"Dad has been in the home for over 2 years now through very difficult times as the Covid pandemic was at its height. With the manager's leadership and the dedication of the care staff, they have created a friendly caring environment. Keep it up."

"Both my parents have resided at Barchester Lindum House since July 2021. My father has vascular dementia, my mother has type one diabetes and various other conditions. Under the direction of a new manager, since August 2022, I find the home to be a safe and happy place with caring staff who treat my parents with dignity."

"Mum went to stay for a respite placement with a view to a full placement - this plan helped us as a family come to terms with moving Mum into 24-hour care as she is only 69 and has vascular dementia. The staff at the home have been so amazing with my mum - encouraging her to have as much independence as possible, keeping her safe, managing her insulin and blood sugars and her other needs. They have taken great care to get to know her and what she likes and doesn't like and working with us as a family to make this transition for Mum as supported as possible. I can't thank the staff enough for the extra mile they all go in supporting us, Dad especially has needed support but they all try to make it a home from home for him - we visit when we like, eat with her, join in activities and are made to feel so welcome On the first day there, my mum was looked after by a new nurse who had just started and had just come to the UK in June - he was amazing with her as is her keyworker and all the team."

"I am the resident's essential caregiver. I visit the resident several times a week. On one occasion, I was visiting at tea time to give my client some tasty treats to have with her tea. I requested the client have her tea in her bedroom so I could sit with her. The carer and manager were very kind. The manager, who is new, welcomed us both with a lovely tea together in the lounge. She said that is what the resident would have done if in her own home. Very kind."

"My aunt was at Lindum House for 2 years and was initially resistant to staying, having been a very independent ninety-two-year-old. She came to like her stay, recognising she was safe, and well-cared for and enjoying meals and talking to staff. I found the staff very helpful and believe my aunt thought the team at Lindum House were very caring and considerate and she had her favourites. I know my aunt was occasionally grumpy and yet I saw staff handle her with patience, kindness and consideration, even when needing to be firm. In our dealings with Barchester, the communication and management of residential care paperwork and invoicing was timely and efficient. Given the challenges of finding a well-run and affordable residential care home we appreciated the positive experience my aunt had at Lindum House in the last two years of her life. Our thanks go to all the staff - front of house and behind the scenes."

"We have had a very positive experience with all aspects at Lindum House. My mum with the help of the friendly caring staff has settled in really well. I’m happy that there isn’t reliance on agency staff it’s nice for Mum to have the same friendly faces who know her well. The daily activity programme provides great mental and social stimulation such as a varied programme I love the fact that the greater community gets involved too. I had no worries in recommending Lindum House to a friend's family."

"My sisters and I arranged for Mum to have respite care at Lindum House whilst my dad was recovering from an accident caused by a fall at his home. The staff were very considerate of Mum's needs and the fact that she was spending time away from her home and husband. They made her feel welcome, safe and a part of their 'family.' They were able to distract Mum from worrying about Dad, encouraging her to take part in activities and join in. Mum went to the cinema and to the pub! Two places she had not visited in a very long time, she thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Her health and well-being was paramount throughout her time there. My family and I can't thank the staff enough for all the help and assurance they gave us at a difficult time. We felt confident leaving our parents in a safe, caring and compassionate residential home. The staff were patient, considerate and professional. I would not hesitate recommending Lindum House to others."

"My mum is a resident and due to her dementia she found it very difficult when she first moved from her home, the staff have worked with myself and my brother to understand and to work on helping Mum feel secure and build a trust with the staff. Mum has really settled and now enjoys the activities and is very happy, the staff and the registered manager have shown kindness, patience and caring and have communicated with family at all times, we are very grateful."

"Mum went into Lindum for respite when Dad was poorly in January. She really didn’t want to go in a care home and had a previous experience of respite in a different facility. We lost our dad in February so Mum has needed to stay permanently. The staff are all friendly and caring and take the time to get to know the residents. The entertainment team are fab and keep a full packed diary of activities. Trip to the local pub once a month for a golden oldies afternoon, regular singers, animal therapy, bingo, games and lots of other activities. Mum has settled in and enjoys the activities and company of the other residents. Met lots of new friends."

There are always lots of daily and weekly activities which the residents really enjoy and it is lovely to see these posts on social media.

"My mum has been a resident in Lindum House since January 2024. She has really settled into the home and made some lovely friends who she chats away with. The care home have daily activities to keep the residents engaged and they enjoy their monthly trip to the pub for some 60's music and a dance! We cannot fault the staff, who have been amazing and helped my mum settle in and look after her needs whilst allowing her independence too. Everyone knows our mum and chats away with her. Having tried other care homes for respite Lindum has by far been the most suited for our mum which has been such a huge relief for us."

"My dad has been in Lindum House for just over 12 months now. The care and support that he has been given is second to none. He is treated with respect and as an individual, which is what we hoped for. All of the staff are lovely and are very welcoming when I and other family members visit, which we do regularly. We never wanted Dad to have to go into a home and it was a big adjustment to us, as he had a rapid deterioration due to a serious decline in his medical condition. But this really is a home-from-home. It was a difficult choice but Lindum House was, and is, the right choice. I would definitely recommend it."

"My aunt was a resident at Barchester Lindum House until her recent passing. She thoroughly enjoyed living there and the care she received was second to none. From the day she arrived, the kindness and patience of the staff was superb, until her final days where I can only thank them for their compassion. My family and I will always be very thankful to the staff for their empathy and respect... and for the carers who went above and beyond to make her stay there so very comfortable."

"Thank you so much to all the staff for making a very difficult journey easier. I never thought my mum would settle away from our house but with all your help and support, she has. She has even booked herself onto a trip out without me. She hasn't been anywhere without family for over ten years. You are all truly amazing."

"My mum has been a resident of Barchester Lindum House, Beverley, for a lot of years, she has been looked after so very well by all long-time members of staff and new ones too. The last few months I have noticed a decline in my mum and she is a little more challenging but as always, the care Mum receives is second to none, I always tell people of the fantastic love and care Mum gets, it's a big relief for me when I leave Mum, she is always in the hands of people that really care. I can't thank you all enough and last but not least, a massive thank you to the manager for all she has done for Lindum House, Merry Christmas to you all."

"Our mum came to Lindum House in the autumn of 2023 following a stroke at the age of 93, and after decades of independent living. We had looked at several homes, and chose Lindum for the instant warm, caring 'vibes' it emitted - and we were not wrong in our assessment. The manager and her team put us at ease that mum would be in good hands. Mum quickly settled into life at Lindum, with the buzzing atmosphere, friendly, caring and attentive staff and lovely surrounding gardens and clean, well organised facilities. Until her recent passing, mums quality of life in her last 18 months has been wonderful. Right until the end, the Lindum team showed great respect and warmth towards mum, and she was happy. We really cannot think of a better endorsement than that."

"Mum was only at Lindum House for 3 months. In that short time, she was loved and cared for by staff in the nicest and kindest way. Sadly, mum passed away unexpectedly over Xmas. Staff continued to show the utmost love, care and respect to me. All of them are truly amazing."

"My mother was offered a respite bed at very short notice and was made to feel safe and welcome immediately. Staff were very quick to understand her needs and she was allowed to be as private as she liked while still being shown that she could join in and take advantage of amenities and activities if she wanted. The staff were wonderful - every one of them, throughout the length of her stay. Her general health and strength improved over the 7 weeks remarkably. She felt safe and relaxed and management was very flexible, with no pressure for her to leave. If my mother were to need more support, we would certainly feel happy for her to return to Lindum."
