About Woodthorpe Lodge
Woodthorpe Lodge is a residential care home near Chesterfield. We support older people and younger adults with a wide range of needs, including people with a learning disability or autism, people living with a mental health condition, people with a physical disability, people with a visual or hearing impairment, people managing an eating disorder and people dealing with alcohol or drug misuse. We also take respite bookings. Because people arrive here by very different routes, we do not run the house to one pattern. Some need a good deal of practical support through the day. Others mainly want a settled base, a routine that holds and somebody reliable to check in with. We work out which by asking, and we go on asking, because what somebody needs when they arrive is rarely what they need a year later. People keep their own belongings around them, decide how the day goes and are not hurried. Families and friends are welcome through the day rather than by appointment. We are used to supporting people whose needs do not fit neatly into one category, and we try to take each person as they come rather than as a label. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking for a place or a respite stay in Derbyshire, please get in touch and arrange to come and look round.
