Admiral Nursing support at Linden House

Families at Linden House are supported by Colten Care’s in-house Admiral Nurse, working in partnership with Dementia UK. An Admiral Nurse is a registered nurse specialising in dementia care. The role provides expert advice, explanation and reassurance for families and colleagues within the home, helping everyone feel clearer and more confident as dementia changes over time.

This support sits alongside the day-to-day care already delivered at Linden House and strengthens the conversations and decisions taking place within the home.

Open access for families

Who can speak with our Admiral Nurse

Families do not need a referral and do not need to wait for a particular concern.

If you would value additional understanding, reassurance or the opportunity to talk something through, you can ask to speak with our Admiral Nurse at any stage. Conversations are practical, confidential and focused on what is happening now and what may help next.

Residents themselves may be involved where appropriate, alongside the home team.

Practical advice grounded in dementia expertise

What our Admiral Nurse can help with

Families speak with our Admiral Nurse for many reasons, including:

  • Understanding changes in behaviour or mood
  • Talking through medication in the context of dementia
  • Discussing nutrition, hydration or wellbeing
  • Exploring how visits can remain comfortable and positive
  • Gaining clarity before making care decisions

Advice is tailored to the individual and informed by dementia nursing knowledge. The aim is to bring clarity and steady explanation, so families feel supported and well informed.

Accessing Admiral Nurse support

Families can request to speak with the Admiral Nurse at any stage. Conversations are practical and focused on understanding what is happening and what options may be appropriate.

Support may be offered directly to families, jointly with the home team, or as part of a care review.

If you would like to speak with our Admiral Nurse or understand how this support works in practice, please contact the home and a member of the team will arrange a conversation.

Additional expertise within a consistent team

How Admiral Nurse support strengthens care in the home

Families are supported day to day by the team at Linden House. Admiral Nurse input builds on that foundation, offering deeper dementia nursing insight when it would be helpful.

Care continues to be delivered by the team who know the person well, with additional expertise available to support clear and confident decision-making. This ensures that advice is grounded in the resident’s daily experience and current health needs.

How to arrange a conversation

If you would like to speak with our Admiral Nurse, please contact Linden House in the usual way and let us know. A member of the team will arrange a suitable time for a conversation.

There is no obligation. The service is available because dementia can raise questions at different stages, and families should feel supported throughout.
