Kerrie, Leeds Customer Care Team, who are we?
How we’re keeping our residents safe from coronavirus (COVID-19)
As ever, the care and safety of our residents and our people continues to be our highest priority during these unprecedented times. That’s why we’re doing everything we can to look after our residents and their loved ones.
We’re following strict infection control measures in all our homes
Be assured we’re taking extra measures to prevent the spread of infection in each of our homes, including frequent deep cleaning and rolling out testing for our staff and residents.
We have all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
All our homes have been supplied with the necessary supplies of PPE, and our in-house procurement team is ready to source further supplies if needed.
We’re keeping residents and their loved ones connected
We’re doing everything we can to keep our residents connected to their loved ones and the wider community, from video calls to letters and our new Bupa Buddy service.
For the latest updates, support and guidance on coronavirus (COVID-19) please visit our information hub.
Our residents are very special to us
We support residents with a wide range of care needs, personalised for each person with the close involvement of family. And there are plenty of services on offer to support each resident’s health, fitness, nutrition and appearance.
Great places to socialise, enjoy an activity or have quiet time
The Lindsay is a great place for residents to make friends with one another and to welcome visitors. There’s a café and a library, and our lounge areas are great places to relax.
Fresh healthy food
Good food, in pleasant surroundings, is a real priority. Our café offers fresh-baked cakes and biscuits plus speciality coffees. Appetising meals are served in our spacious restaurant, café or garden, or in the resident’s room. Our chef talks to each resident when they move in about their likes, dislikes and any special dietary needs.
Private dining areas for families
Families can spend quiet time together for special events and celebrations like birthday parties.
Our own library and cinema
Residents are encouraged to keep up their enjoyment of books, a great way to have peaceful moments. Movie showings bring people together, and family and friends are always invited.
There’s no typical day at The Lindsay, but we arrange plenty to do, both here at the home as well as out and about.
We believe it’s #NeverTooLate
We help to make residents’ long-held wishes come true, or to tick something off their ‘bucket list’. We’ve helped them hold an art show, milk a cow, have a pamper day and go to the football!
Getting out and about
We like to arrange trips to wherever residents would like to go, and so we share a minibus with another Bupa home nearby for trips to the seaside, boat trips, and shopping.
Lots of special interests
With our Knit and Natter group, gardening, bowling, darts, pottery, art, and cookery, there is lots for the residents to do.
“We received only positive comments about The Lindsay throughout our inspection… There was a full programme of activities to keep people meaningfully occupied and stimulated... Staff were polite, respectful and mindful of people's dignity… Staff knew people well and had a caring and respectful manner… People were smartly dressed, clean and comfortable.”
“The last year has been so hard for many people but having my mum in a care home not being able to see her in person has been even more so, but the lovely staff at The Lindsay have been amazing in helping me to see my mum on Skype then in pod and finally in her room. Professional and so caring always keeping my mum safe and always following all the guidelines. Thank you.”
Daughter of resident, 18 June 2021, carehome.co.uk
“The last year has been very difficult for everyone. Despite this, I had every confidence that Mum would be kept safe and well, and she was. The staff are always polite and courteous, and I know that Mum is well cared for.”
Daughter of resident, 27 April 2021, carehome.co.uk
“My mum has been in The Lindsay since July 2018. I can honestly say, Mum, is so content and happy. She has a lovely room with all her special items around her. All the staff are caring and very supportive to residents and family members, which I find so reassuring. The activities are fun and keep everyone busy and entertained; they’re a great team, like all the other departments. Thank you to the home manager and all staff for making The Lindsay home from home.”
Daughter of resident, 12 March 2021, carehome.co.uk
