The carers are always polite, helpful, and caring, they notice things and report back and mum loves having them there. The company are extremely flexible and helpful if we need to reorganise things or book extra care.

We have used Linmar Care to support us with my mothers care at home with her deteriorating health due to vascular dementia. We have managed to keep Mum Covid free to date, which has been miraculous and reflects the diligence and careful approach to Mums medical/physical needs by the Linmar Care staff.
They treat Mum as an individual, dignifying her as a person, which shows sincerity, kindness and reflects the ethos of the company.

I have been cared for once daily since December 2019. It allows us to have a purpose to live life as near to normal as possible. As well as personal care, the conversations help keep our minds active and the loneliness at bay. My wife appreciates the visits in the morning to allow her to organise the
running of the home; she cares for me 24/7.

The team at Linmar Care are so good. Always friendly and looking to help. They cared so well for my father who sadly passed away last year but now help look after mum. Would highly recommend them to anybody who is looking for a care company.

Linmar Care Ltd have been looking after my dad for over two years now. They provide an excellent service. The ladies who come are lovely and caring and nothing is too much trouble. They are reliable and are not obtrusive.

I am very happy with the care my mother receives from Linmar Care Ltd. They treat her with dignity and with very good care. All the staff are very pleasant and have my mother's best interest at heart. I feel happy knowing my mother is being well looked after, it is a great relief off my mind. I know
I don't have to worry about her being looked after properly.

Upon losing my dad and after 62 years of marriage, Mum found being alone with the onset of dementia very hard. At the start of putting your carers in place, Mum found this hard to accept, but over the past 1 and a half years with their kindness, support and dignity she has come to looking forward to
their visits and has overcome being alone and still able to live in her own home with your support and the family.

Some carers are very good, but some can't cook or even boil an egg.
Other than that, the care is very good.
Reply from Laura Twitchett, Director at Linmar Care Ltd
We are really sorry to hear about your concerns relating to cooking, this has been an area of care training we have overlooked, instead focusing on food safety and hygiene training but we will…read more

I wanted to share my very positive experience of using Linmar Care, to help look after my mother. They have assisted her to remain in her own home for the past two years. They have always treated her with kindness and dignity, and have responded quickly to any concerns or queries I've raised over health
or personal care matters. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other families in a similar situation.

Review from Robert B (Husband of Client) published on 6 January 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The high level of care provided by Linmar has not suffered as a result of Coronavirus indeed it has surpassed the excellent standard of last year, a true reflection of the quality of this company.
The extra help given by all Linmar Carers through these difficult times has kept both the writer and my
wife in good spirits, in particular, helping her to communicate her feelings, the benefits of which are expressed by her endless smiles and show of affection.
The many hours spent in the company of Linmar carers over the past nine months has helped us to maintain some form of normality particularly as the other activities that my wife would have attended have been closed.
Linmar, you are the best!

I can't recommend Linmar Care highly enough. They've supported my father and cared for him during the most difficult of times and have never let us down. The carers have become part of our extended family, especially for my father and I know he looks forward to seeing them every day.
The management
staff work above and beyond to relieve any stress and pressure on the family eg picking up and sorting out medication and keeping is updated daily.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.764 for Linmar Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.764
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Linmar Care Ltd is based on 12 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
