About Us

Lindum Court is a residential care home near Doncaster. We provide care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, along with respite and short stays.

We would rather be straightforward with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accepted the findings, we have been working through them, and anybody considering the home should ask us directly what has changed and what is still to be put right. We would think less of a family that did not ask.

What we are trying to offer is not complicated, though it is hard to do consistently. A comfortable house where people are looked after properly, treated as adults and left in charge of their own days as far as they are able. That begins with asking how somebody has always lived and then actually working that way rather than fitting people to a routine that suits the rota.

Dementia care here depends on familiarity. We keep staffing as steady as we can, we do not hurry anybody, and we take the trouble to learn what reassures a particular person, since it is rarely the same for two of them. Families often find this stage hard, and we try to give them honest information rather than comfortable reassurance.

Visitors are welcome through the day and are kept properly informed.

Please come and look round, speak to residents and relatives, and judge the place for yourself.
