About The Lodge Care Home
We at The Lodge Care Home are proud to offer a warm and welcoming residential care setting in the heart of Romford, providing dedicated older person care, residential care, and specialist dementia care for those who need it most. Nestled within the London borough of Havering, our home benefits from the friendly community feel that Romford is known for, whilst being easily accessible for visiting family and friends from across the RM postcode area and beyond. Our location offers residents the best of both worlds, a peaceful environment to call home alongside the convenience of nearby local amenities, transport links, and green spaces. We have created an atmosphere that feels less like a facility and more like a true home, where comfort, dignity, and familiarity guide everything we do. Our dedicated team specialises in supporting older adults, including those living with dementia, and we understand that choosing a care home for a loved one is one of the most significant decisions a family can make. For residents living with dementia, we provide compassionate, person centred support that focuses on what each individual can do, encouraging independence whilst offering reassurance and gentle guidance throughout the day. Daily routines are tailored to reflect personal preferences, life histories, and individual needs, helping residents feel known, valued, and genuinely at ease. For those requiring residential care, our team is on hand around the clock to assist with daily living, personal care, and the small but meaningful moments that make life enjoyable, from a favourite cup of tea in the morning to a chat in a sunny corner of the lounge. We place enormous value on building genuine relationships with residents and their families. Open communication, regular updates, and a willingness to listen are central to how we work. Families are always welcome, and we strive to make every visit comfortable, relaxed, and meaningful. We know that peace of mind matters just as much to relatives as quality care matters to residents, and we work hard to provide both in equal measure. Quality and safety sit at the very core of our approach. Following our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection in September 2024, The Lodge Care Home was rated Good across every single domain assessed, including Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This consistent rating reflects the dedication of our team and the standards we hold ourselves to every single day. For families, this independent recognition offers reassurance that the care provided here is delivered thoughtfully, professionally, and with genuine warmth, by a team committed to continuous improvement and the wellbeing of every resident. If you are exploring care options for a loved one in Romford or the wider Havering area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Choosing the right home is a deeply personal journey, and we would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about our approach, and help you decide whether The Lodge Care Home could be the right place for your family.
