About Osborne Lodge Rest Home

Osborne Lodge Rest Home is a residential care home in New Milton, Hampshire, caring for older people, with respite stays available alongside permanent places. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Much of what makes a care home good is ordinary and repeated every day. Food people actually look forward to. Mornings that are not rushed. Staff who remember who takes sugar, who wants the crossword and who would rather the television stayed off. We put our effort into those details, because they are what residents experience. Residents decide how to spend their days. Some enjoy the sociable end of the house and whatever is going on, others prefer their own room, their books and a view of the garden, and both are entirely acceptable here. Rooms belong to the people in them, and we encourage families to bring furniture and pictures that make a space feel like somebody's own. Our team is encouraged to know residents as people, which means knowing about working lives, families and the places they have lived. That knowledge is what makes care personal, and it is also what helps us notice quickly when someone is unwell. Respite stays often follow a hospital admission or give a family carer a genuine rest. If you are considering care for yourself or a relative, please come and look round and take your time.
