About Linden House Nursing Home
Linden House Nursing Home supports people who need regular nursing input, from round-the-clock reassurance to care for medical needs arising from degenerative disease or age-related illness. It also welcomes adults who no longer wish to remain at home.
Before a stay begins, a manager or senior nurse assesses the person’s care needs. Rooms are single or double, mostly en-suite, and residents can bring furniture and personal belongings to make them feel familiar. Families can visit at any time, although visits after 8pm should be arranged in advance. The home provides a setting where nursing support and personal routines are considered together.

Yes. Linden House can meet dietary needs and requests, with nutritionally balanced breakfast, lunch and dinner menus to choose from.
Can residents bring their own furniture to Linden House?
Yes. Residents may bring their own furniture and electrical items. The home provides essential furniture and equipment, although a profiling bed may be required for safety.
How many residents can Linden House accommodate?
Linden House is registered to provide nursing care for up to 34 people and usually has 30 or 31 residents because some rooms can be shared.
How much does Linden House Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Linden House Nursing Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Somerset council paid on average £1,082 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.
