The journey through care should be one surrounded by those you can resonate with and mean well for you. Langdale Lodge has just that environment, providing a unique balance between residential and hotel accommodation. Tucked away at the end of a residential street in a tranquil neighbourhood, the home is well suited for those who wish to reside in a country setting, yet being only a stone-throw away from several convenience stores, dining settings, a famous church and favourable national transport links.
The home can comfortably accommodate 30 residents and over time, we have carefully considered and undertook discreet extensions resulting in not only additional rooms, but additional communal space. This extra space provides residents a greater area of indoor movement to engage in our long-list of planned and unplanned activities and to unwind in quieter parts of the home. Amongst our group of care homes, Langdale Lodge have a large proportion of residents that have resided at the home for several years and that is testament to a great team of staff, both on site and those that support them at our head office. They along with key individuals that have been in post for many years and are responsible for driving quality care provision. This gives us an advantage and provides a space for residents to enjoy what should be the happiest years of their life!
For a meaningful journey enhanced in our home, you can follow us on our social media sites and keep an eye fixed for our latest newsletters. Subject to Government Guidelines and our visiting procedures, you can tour the home and sense the energy that will be of little surprise that our residents live long and happy lives at Langdale Lodge Care Home.
