About The Lodge - Dementia Care with Nursing
We at The Lodge Dementia Care with Nursing offer a welcoming nursing home in Chorley, Lancashire, where specialist dementia care and skilled nursing come together in one supportive setting. For families searching for compassionate older person care in the PR area, our home provides a calm and reassuring environment where every resident is known, valued, and gently supported through each day. Set within the town of Chorley in the North West, our home benefits from its location in a familiar and well connected part of Lancashire. Residents enjoy surroundings designed with comfort and accessibility in mind, whilst families can visit easily from across the wider region. The atmosphere throughout is warm and homely, offering the reassurance of a genuine community alongside the practical benefits of professional nursing support on hand around the clock. Our specialisms include dementia care, nursing care, mental health support, older person care, and respite care. In practice, this means that residents living with dementia are cared for by a team who understand the condition deeply and who tailor daily routines, communication, and activities to each individual's needs. Our nursing provision allows us to support residents with more complex health requirements, so families do not need to worry about transfers or interruptions to care as needs change over time. For those living with mental health conditions, we take a patient and person centred approach, focused on dignity, stability, and quality of life. Respite care is also available, offering short term stays that give family carers a well earned rest whilst their loved one is looked after in a safe and stimulating environment. Every family arriving at our door is different, and we take time to listen. We work closely with relatives to build a full picture of the person coming into our care, including their history, preferences, relationships, and the small routines that bring comfort. This helps us provide care that feels personal rather than clinical, and it helps residents settle in with confidence. Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in October 2025, rated the home as Good overall. We were rated Good across the Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains, which reflects our team's ongoing commitment to safeguarding residents, delivering effective clinical and personal care, treating people with genuine kindness, and responding thoughtfully to individual needs. The Well-led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we are taking this feedback seriously as an opportunity to strengthen our leadership and governance further. Families can be reassured that quality and transparency remain at the heart of how we operate, and that we are committed to building on the strong foundations already recognised by the regulator. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the emotions that come with it. Whether you are exploring long term nursing and dementia care, considering a short respite stay, or simply beginning to look at options in the Chorley area, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please get in touch to arrange a visit, ask questions, or talk through how we might support your loved one. At The Lodge Dementia Care with Nursing, your family's peace of mind is our priority, and we look forward to welcoming you.
