About The Lodge
The Lodge is a care home in York. We provide residential care for older people, including people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we would rather you read that here than come across it after a visit. The inspection found things that were not good enough for the people living here. We have accepted the findings and we are working through them. If you are considering us, ask exactly what was identified and exactly what has changed since, and press us if the answer sounds vague. What we are working towards is straightforward. A home where residents decide how their own day runs, where rooms belong to the people in them, where visitors come when it suits them, and where staff know the people they support properly rather than in outline. For people living with dementia, familiarity carries most of the weight. The same faces, a recognisable rhythm to the day, and a team who take the trouble to learn somebody's history so that they understand the distress rather than simply managing it. Please visit before deciding anything. Read the inspection report in full, speak to residents and relatives, and judge the home on what you find.
