About Rose Lodge
Here at Rose Lodge, we are a residential care home based in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, and we provide a real home for older adults who need support with day to day life. We support people across a range of needs, including residential care, dementia care and respite care. Whether someone is moving in with us permanently or staying for a shorter period to recover or to give a family carer a break, we aim to make sure they feel comfortable, respected and genuinely looked after from the moment they arrive. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. Our team works hard to get to know each person as an individual, understanding their routines, preferences and what matters most to them. Good care, in our view, is not just about meeting physical needs. It is about knowing that someone likes their tea a certain way, or enjoys a particular television programme, or simply needs someone to sit and talk with them. Our most recent CQC inspection resulted in an overall rating of requires improvement, and we want to be open about that. We have taken the findings seriously and have been working through the areas identified, making changes where they are needed. We believe in being honest with the people we support and their families, and that means being transparent about where we are on that journey rather than papering over it. Newton Aycliffe is a community we are proud to be part of, and many of our residents have lived in this area all their lives. Keeping that connection to local life matters to us, and we try to reflect that in the way we run Rose Lodge day to day.
