Kerrie, Leeds Customer Care Team, who are we?
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.
“I first qualified as a nurse in 1979 and spent many years in the NHS working in a variety of fields including acute medicine and palliative care. I now have the privilege to be manager at the Lindsay care home. Our residents do not live in my place of work, I am privileged to work in their home.”
Claudia Carvell - General manager at The Lindsay
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, and 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.”
“My mum always looks happy when we see her. They have lots of activities to keep the residents busy, happy and they have lots of fun. Seeing mum at this time has not been able to happen but with Skype I have managed to see and chat with Mum, seeing her happy smiley face has been the best reassuring me she is well. Thank you to all the team.”

“The staff have been extremely caring to my father, and who has built up a great rapport with all the staff. The family have appreciated the contact with Father over the past few weeks and especially the interaction via Skype. We regularly see photographs of Father and the other residents, clearly enjoying the interactive and creative entertainment programme, from dancing and singing, to ice creams in the garden, a sweet trolley and the VE celebrations. Whilst it has been a worrying time for all families during the lockdown, it has been a great comfort to my mother, sister and I that Father is being kept safe and is so contented in the circumstances. Thank you to all the team.”
Daughter of resident, 05 June 2020, carehome.co.uk
“The Lindsay has been a lifesaver for me and my dad. I found it in crisis, and my dad went in as an emergency admission. This process was handled so kindly, reassuringly and professionally by the manager from my first call to emergency assessment/admission but it has turned out to be the best place for him. The way residents are looked after, cared about and cared for is exceptional. Staff are so kind, whatever role they are in, and work together as a strong team, clearly dedicated to what they do. They not only care for, but love my dad, and this is clear in every interaction they have with him. There is such a strong sense of community and family there. Even if my dad has his ups and downs, which is the nature of his dementia, I never doubt the care that he is receiving as the high standard of this is so consistent and tangible. I have so much gratitude and respect for everyone at The Lindsay, especially in these times where they continue to work so hard to keep all safe. Thank you.”
