About Linden House
Linden House is dedicated entirely to people living with dementia, with daily support organised around familiar routines and understandable surroundings. The home offers dedicated dementia care, nursing care and short stays, including support after hospital discharge.
Care planning follows the “All About Me” philosophy, using each resident’s routines, preferences and personal needs rather than fixed assumptions. The coordinated home team provides clinical oversight and consistent care as needs change. Short stays can support a trial move, recovery after hospital or a break for a family carer, subject to the selected arrangement. Linden House suits families seeking a dedicated dementia-only setting with structured, individual care.

Questions families ask
Is this care home specifically for people living with dementia?
Yes. They support people living with dementia exclusively, with the environment, routines and team organised around how dementia affects daily life.
Can they provide a month-long short stay?
Yes. A short stay lasts a full month, allowing residents to experience everyday life in the home while receiving the same care, support and hospitality as permanent residents.
How much does Linden House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Linden House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hampshire council paid on average £1,359 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
