About Caxton Lodge
Here at Caxton Lodge, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of Ripon, North Yorkshire. We support people with a range of needs, including learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also welcome younger adults and offer respite care for those who need a short break or temporary support. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or their family will ever make, and we do not take that trust lightly. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure everyone who lives here feels genuinely at home, respected, and in control of their own life. That means listening carefully to each person, understanding what matters to them day to day, and making sure our support fits around them rather than the other way around. Our team works hard to create an environment that feels warm and settled rather than clinical or institutional. We take time to get to know the people we support properly, including their routines, their preferences, and the things that bring them joy. Good care, in our view, comes from real relationships built over time. We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us as Good, which reflects the commitment of everyone who works here. We continue to look for ways to improve and to make life at Caxton Lodge as fulfilling as possible for every resident. If you are considering Caxton Lodge for yourself or someone you care about, we would warmly encourage you to come and visit us. There is no better way to get a feel for who we are than spending some time here and meeting the people who make this place what it is. We are always happy to answer questions and talk things through at whatever pace suits you.
