About Pennine Lodge Care Home

We are Pennine Lodge, a nursing home in Carlisle. We care for older people and for younger adults with nursing needs, including people living with dementia, people managing a mental health condition, and people with a physical disability. Having qualified nurses on duty at every hour is what allows us to look after people whose health is complicated or liable to change. Problems are noticed early by staff who know the person, treatment starts without waiting for somebody to come in from outside, and families are not left wondering about overnight cover. The nursing side is essential but it is not the purpose of the place. People live here, and we work at making that a proper life. Rooms are personalised, people get up and settle at night when they choose, and meals are something to look forward to rather than an item on a timetable. Our staff take time to learn who somebody was before they needed care. For those living with dementia we work patiently and with the person's history in view. Where somebody is managing a mental health condition, we work calmly and keep in close contact with community teams and GPs. Relatives are welcome whenever they want to come and we keep them properly informed. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
