Residential Care

At Ivy Lodge we want our residents and their family members to be confident that day-in-day-out we strive to offer high quality residential care and exceptionally clean and well maintained facilities.

Our residential care is centred around assisting frail residents to continue to live a happy and independent life with the support and care they need when they need it.

The Care We Offer

Ivy Lodge is a residential home for those aged over 65.

We support our residents with all the daily aspects of personal care such as dressing, washing and taking medicines. Our long-serving, warm and caring staff are very experienced in helping the residents, who may be suffering some short-term memory loss and/or some mobility restrictions.

Nurses and other health professional do visit our residents but we do not provide nursing care.

Every resident who comes to live with us is assessed for the level and type of care they will need which forms a Personalised Care Plan that is constantly updated to ensure changing care needs are continually met.

Find out more about our rating of Outstanding for care by the Care Quality Commission.

We have a full range of care home facilities available. However, whilst our home has been adapted and decorated with the needs of residents in mind, it still feels very much like a home.

After many years of welcoming new residents we understand that moving into a residential home can be an uncertain step and worrying for both the prospective resident and family members. We do offer trial periods which we have discovered need to be a minimum of a month in order to allow the resident enough time settle in and fully appreciate the benefits of assisted living.

Please get in touch to find out more about becoming a resident at Ivy Lodge.

Our residents enjoy a range of care and leisure facilities. Find out more >>
