Congratulations to the team at Anchor - Linwood as the home was rated as "Good" by the Care Quality Commission.

The CQC’s robust inspection process gives care homes a rating of Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, or Inadequate based on five categories. Linwood care home received high marks in the three categories inspected and rated.

The CQC inspectors were impressed by colleagues at Linwood who recognised resident’s individuality and encouraged them to retain their independence. Inspectors also noted that colleagues at the care home worked well together and supported residents to maintain healthy lives.

Inspectors praised how Linwood’s residents and their relatives were happy with the home and felt safe and well cared for. Additionally, relatives said colleagues were responsive to their family members’ changing needs.

Well done team 👏
