About New Lodge
We at New Lodge are proud to offer a warm, welcoming residential care home in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, providing specialist support for adults living with learning disabilities and autism, alongside thoughtful residential and respite care options. Nestled within the familiar surroundings of the ST postcode area, our home sits within the local community of Longton, allowing residents to remain connected to the town they know whilst enjoying the comfort and security of a supportive living environment. The setting has been designed with homeliness in mind, offering a calm and reassuring atmosphere where people can genuinely feel at ease and settled in their daily routines. Our specialism in supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism sits at the heart of everything we do. We take the time to understand each person as an individual, recognising their preferences, communication styles, sensory needs, and personal aspirations. In practice, this means care plans that are shaped around the person rather than the other way around, consistent routines that provide reassurance, and encouragement to build life skills, pursue interests, and enjoy meaningful days. For families, it means knowing that a loved one is being supported by a team who understands the importance of patience, predictability, and genuine person centred practice. Our respite care offering provides an equally valuable lifeline. Whether families need a short break, are managing a change in circumstances, or simply want their loved one to experience a stay with us before considering longer term arrangements, we aim to make every respite stay feel welcoming, safe, and rewarding. Guests are treated with the same warmth and attention as our permanent residents from the moment they arrive. Families researching care naturally want reassurance about quality, and we are proud that the Care Quality Commission rated New Lodge as Good overall at its most recent inspection, with a Good rating awarded across every one of the five key domains: safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well led. Achieving Good across the board reflects a consistent standard of care throughout the home, from the way support is delivered day to day to the leadership and culture that underpins it. It is a rating we take seriously and continue to build upon. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family will ever make, and we understand the weight that comes with it. If you are exploring residential care, specialist support for a loved one with a learning disability or autism, or a respite stay in the Longton area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about our approach, and help you decide whether New Lodge feels like the right place to call home.
