At Chestnut Lodge we aim to provide a wonderful, safe and homely environment. We want to make yourself and your loved ones as happy and feel as welcome as possible. To do this we have an expert team of carers and nurses as well as constantly refreshing our bedrooms and communal areas.
Daily life at Chestnut lodge
At Chestnut Lodge we aim to provide our residents with familiarity and structure in their day to day lives. Our team of expert activity leads partake in various activities throughout the day. These activities range from bingo, crafts, pamper days to days in the garden at our home. We take suggestions from residents and their loved ones as well as introducing activities which stimulate the mind and can be adapted to those with dementia care. People really are the centre of everything we do, we are constantly improving, adapting and updating our homes.
Safe and caring
Our carers and nurses are on hand 24/7 to provide a safe home for you and your loved ones. We are constantly updating our care plans, introducing training and new technology into our homes to provide this.

- They need specialist care including nursing and dementia.
- They are struggling with everyday tasks and may be a detriment to themselves and others.
- They may be struggling with everyday loneliness.
- They are struggling to maintain good hygiene and diet without support.
