About Linda Grove
We at Linda Grove offer a welcoming residential care home in the heart of Waterlooville, Hampshire, where thoughtful support and genuine warmth come together to create a true home for every person who lives with us. Nestled within the friendly Waterlooville community in the PO postcode area, our home benefits from the calm, suburban character of this well connected South East town. Residents enjoy a comfortable setting that feels familiar and safe, with the reassurance of local amenities, green spaces, and transport links nearby, making visits from family and friends straightforward and relaxed. Our care is shaped around the individual, and we are proud to support a diverse community of residents. We provide dedicated residential care for older people who value companionship and everyday support, alongside specialised care for adults living with a learning disability or autism. We also welcome younger adults and those with a physical disability, offering an inclusive environment where every resident is respected as an individual with their own story, preferences and aspirations. For families needing a short break, our respite care offers peace of mind, whether following a hospital stay, during a holiday, or simply to give a loved one a change of scene with the confidence of attentive support close at hand. In practice, this breadth of specialism means our team takes time to understand each person, from daily routines and favourite meals to hobbies and cherished traditions. We aim to help residents live as independently as possible whilst ensuring that dignity, choice, and kindness sit at the heart of every interaction. Families are treated as partners in care, kept informed, listened to, and warmly involved in the life of the home. We believe openness matters, so we share our most recent Care Quality Commission position honestly. Following the inspection carried out in March 2022, our home received an overall rating of Requires Improvement. Within that, our teams were rated Good for being Effective, Caring, and Responsive, a reflection of the compassion and skill our staff bring to daily life here. The domains of Safe and Well led were rated Requires Improvement and Inadequate respectively, and we take those findings seriously. They act as a clear road map for the ongoing work we are committed to, strengthening leadership, governance, and safety practices so that every part of our home matches the warmth of the care our residents already experience. Choosing a care home is one of the most personal decisions a family can make, and we understand the questions, hopes, and worries that come with it. If you are considering care for someone you love in the Waterlooville area, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask us anything, and arrange a visit so you can see our home for yourself and meet the people who make it what it is.
