Linden House Nursing Home

About Us

Linden House is a nursing home in Wellington. We care for older people and younger adults, providing both residential and nursing care, and we also offer respite stays for people who need support for a shorter period.

Being able to offer residential and nursing care in the same house matters more than it might sound. It means that when somebody's health changes, they do not have to pack up and start again somewhere unfamiliar with people they do not know. They stay where they are, with the same faces around them, and the care changes instead.

Having nurses on the premises at all hours means changing health, skin and wound care, complicated medication and support at the end of life can be managed here, alongside the GP and community teams. It also means that when a person begins to become unwell, we usually notice early.

Around the clinical side, this is somewhere people live. We ask what an ordinary day looked like before somebody came to us and try to protect the parts that mattered. Relatives are welcome and we encourage them to visit, to join in and to tell us when we have got something wrong.

Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at care in Wellington or the surrounding part of Somerset, please contact us and arrange a visit.
