CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Linfield House is a 54-bed nursing home in Worthing, West Sussex, run by Guild Care. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with dementia. That is larger than most homes in West Sussex, where the typical home has 27 beds.
About 0.1 km away, Melrose Care Home is rated Outstanding. Guild Care runs 3 care homes, and 2 of the 3 rated are Good or Outstanding. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2026. 92% of homes in West Sussex also score 5. In West Sussex, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in July 2021. Its previous rating, in October 2019, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 32% of homes in West Sussex. Here is how rating age varies by council.
