Linden House Care Home in Epsom has been awarded the prestigious Gold Standard Framework (GSF) accreditation. This nationally recognised certification highlights the home's dedication to providing exceptional care to those approaching the end of their lives.

The Gold Standards Framework is a testament to care homes that work in partnership with local GPs, primary care teams, and specialists, ensuring residents receive continuous care during their last months, weeks, and days.

Having been the UK's top training provider for generalist frontline staff catering to those in their last stages of life for more than 25 years, GSF is both a practical and evidence-based end-of-life care improvement programme.

Reshma Tupsy, Linden House Home Manager, reflected on the journey to accreditation, "The GSF programme was challenging, especially for a residential home. Over the last year or so we gradually integrated every aspect of GSF into our home's culture.

“After submitting comprehensive documentation and hosting an assessment visit in July 2023, we were successful in receiving accreditation. We are now committed to reaccrediting every three years to ensure our care standards remain unparalleled."

Tony Stein, chief executive of Wren Retirement Living, added, "First and foremost, congratulations to the entire team at Linden House care home on this achievement! The meticulous process Reshma described, paired with the team's unwavering dedication to upholding the standards, embodies our commitment to offering the pinnacle of care for our residents in their final days. The Gold Standards Framework is not just an award; it's a testament to the exceptional care we aspire to provide across our homes."

Wren Retirement Living remains dedicated to maintaining the highest quality care across all its homes. With the GSF accreditation for Linden House, the organisation further cements its reputation for excellence and sets a benchmark for other care homes in the country.

Linden House is rated Good by the Care Quality Commission with an Outstanding rating under the area of Well-Led.
