Reviews for Lindum House Care Home

"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."

"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."

"My mum has been a resident at Lindum care home for a number of years and has had some good times with the staff and residents. She is looked after very well. I would recommend the home to anyone. It is always peace of mind knowing she is well looked after by kind, lovely staff - thank you, Lindum."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"Lindum House is warm and welcoming. The staff are friendly 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, singing and dancing. The home is very well led by the new manager and 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."

"I have had on numerous occasions not getting a wash until late afternoon. Today, the 21st October it was 4.15 pm before a wash was started. I have to pre-book a shower which might be once a week if I'm lucky. If I don't keep asking they would not shower. I have been told on a nursing floor a good wash is what you would expect. I'm 50 and want a regular shower, they get them so why should we suffer. I'm sick of being always last, using no staff and males only. I don't want males helping me get ready and certainly should not be made to be either an inconvenience or guilty. I won't be the only person that does not want males to help me. My daughter and son are very worried about me here, especially with such a bad report from CQC. The home needs a complete shake-up because it's very set in the way of doing things. I'm on the nursing floor and it can be very hectic and only 3 staff, quite a lot of the time only 2. They don't get any time to spend with us on a 1-1 basis."

"The staff are hardworking and careing and do their best under very challenging circumstances due to serious staff shortages. My husband was left in bed until lunchtime on several occasions, unshaven and with a dirty room. He was dressed in an awful T-shirt (not his) and on another occasion though he has plenty of his own shirts all named. I dressed him myself that morning (11.45 am). He is currently on respite from hospital discharge to monitor his mobility."

"My mother had her ninetieth birthday last week. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, no visitors were allowed in the home at all so planning what to do was not easy. The activities coordinator at Barchester Lindum House could not have been more helpful. In the morning she helped Mum open her cards and presents and then gave her a pamper session and did her hair. She set up a room with decorations and a big screen so Mum could watch a film of her choice. In the afternoon she helped us organise a Zoom session for all the family, again projected onto the big screen so it was really clear. Barchester Lindum House provided a lovely cake and we all sang Happy Birthday. We are still hoping to be able to all get together as a family to celebrate in person but meanwhile, Mum had a day to remember and was made to feel very special. Without the activities coordinator and I am sure other staff at the home, this would not have been possible and we will be forever grateful for all the effort that went in to ensuring Mum had such a special day."

I would like to thank one particular carer very much as she had taken Mum today and let her say her goodbyes, she is an excellent member of staff she is always getting Mum ready and has always been there for her; nothing is too much trouble thank you so much."

"Mum has been at Lindum House for nearly 4 years now and it has been excellent in every way but especially now with COVID. All staff have gone above and beyond their duties to ensure residents and relatives are kept in contact which is so important during these so stressful times. Myself and my family are so grateful that Mum is in Lindum House and we can never repay staff for their help. Many thanks to you all. (Activities are second to none - residents love it.)"

"I reluctantly agreed for my husband to be transferred to Lindum House after a time in hospital. I know now it was the best decision I could have made for him. He was given 24-hour care and attention until he died and I was grateful that our wishes for his care were carried out to the letter. He died peacefully and without pain. I can only thank these dedicated people including the cleaners and caterers for the care of my husband and myself."

"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."

"My husband was always treated with the utmost kindness and respect by all the staff and regarded both staff and residents as his extended family. With his illness, it was the next best thing to being at home (his words). The food was reasonable with a good choice of menu, although some things were not always available. Entertainment was varied and enjoyable. The let down was the long wait for help, it was never there when you needed and 30mins sat on the toilet waiting for help is not good, having said that, the love and care we received in those 8months will never be forgotten. I still visit the home and always receive a tremendous welcome."

"Lindum House has a homely feel and the upstairs lounge is bright and airy. I occasionally find the home to be a bit short staffed and I sometimes find myself alone in the lounge with several residents who then need attention. Maybe a regular check of the residents in the lounge could commence, so I don't feel so responsible for their welfare. That said, the staff are kind and caring and respect the resident's dignity in all their interactions with them."

When we first approached Lindum House we were struggling to help Mum maintain her dignity and independence and from our first contact with you we felt that you cared. You helped not only us the family, but more importantly mum; although one hopes one doesn’t suffer when end of life approached, you always made Mum feel safe comfortable and important. We felt she had the best possible place for her needs for that we give you heartfelt thanks. We can cherish our memories of Mum.
