About Lindisfarne Hartlepool

Lindisfarne Hartlepool is a nursing home in Hartlepool, providing care for older people and those living with dementia. The findings below set out the CQC's most recent assessment of the service.

Lindisfarne Hartlepool accommodates up to 54 older people and those living with dementia, with 53 residents during the inspection. The service has experienced inconsistency in management over the past year, with several managerial changes. The current manager, appointed in November 2022, was still becoming familiar with the home.

Residents found the manager approachable but expressed concern about the pattern of frequent staff turnover, unsure whether this would continue.

Staff levels drew mixed feedback from residents regarding whether there were sufficient personnel to meet their support needs.
