About Pennwood Lodge
At Pennwood Lodge, we provide nursing home care for older adults in the heart of Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire. We are part of a close-knit community and we take that responsibility seriously, doing our best every day to make sure the people who live with us feel genuinely at home. Our team is experienced across a broad range of care needs. We support residents living with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities and visual or hearing impairments, as well as those who require skilled nursing care. We also offer respite care for those who need a short term stay, whether that is to recover after a hospital admission or to give a family carer some time to rest. We know that moving into a care home, or choosing one for someone you love, is never a straightforward decision. We try to make that process as open and honest as possible. Families are always welcome to visit, ask questions and take their time before making a choice. Once someone does join us, we work hard to understand who they are, what matters to them and how they like their days to look. Good care, in our view, is built on knowing the person, not just the diagnosis. Our nursing team works alongside carers, activity staff and other professionals to make sure each resident receives support that is both clinically sound and genuinely personal. We keep communication with families open and regular, because we believe the people who know a resident best are an important part of how we care for them. We are based in a lovely part of Gloucestershire and we make the most of that, encouraging connections with the local area wherever we can. If you would like to find out more about life at Pennwood Lodge, please do get in touch. We would be happy to talk.
