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 👏

We were delighted to welcome a very special guest John to our care home a torchbearer from the London 2012 Summer Olympics. John shared fascinating stories about his Olympic journey and what it was like to carry the Olympic Torch during such a historic event. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to hold the torch themselves, making it a truly memorable and inspiring afternoon for everyone. Thank you for bringing the Olympic spirit to our home! 🏅🔥 John Fletcher Entertainment.
