Linden House Care Home is a residential care home providing accommodation for people who require personal care for up to 63 people in a single storey building. The service provides support to younger adults, people with physical disabilities, mental health needs, older people and dementia care. At the time of our inspection there were 42 people using the service.

Although the service had improved practices around thickeners, which was a recommendation at the last inspection, processes and procedures around medications were not always being followed, we made a recommendation around this. The service had made improvements around staffing and people felt there was enough staff. Recruitment checks were not always robust, we made a recommendation around this. Infection prevention and control practices were in place and we noted improvement in this area since the last inspection. Systems were in place to keep people safe. Peoples individual risks were being assessed and managed. Environmental checks were being completed.
