My Mother moved to Wellington Lodge in May 2024 and since this time the staff have gone above and beyond to meet her sometimes challenging support needs. Every effort was made to ensure my Mother was treated with dignity and respect and staff had a real understanding of what worked best for her. Sadly my Mother's dementia needs became as such that … she was unable to remain at Wellington Lodge but regardless the effort to try and support her and keep her in the surroundings and routines she was familiar with will always be remembered. Wellington Lodge is a well managed care home with a staff team that clearly enjoy their jobs and who always great you with a smile. Highly recommended.

I was anxious about my mother going to respite, however the process involved was easy and a manager came to my mothers home to discuss her care needs. On arrival the staff were friendly and helpful. Her room was pleasant and warm. All her clothes were washed and returned. The staff listened to me and involved me in my mums care and seemed genuine… ly affectinate towards her. When i visited she appeared happy and settled, she enjoyed the food and recieved drinks in between meals which was importent to her. I have nothing negative to say and would be confident and happy to let me mum go back for further respite

Following an accident at home and a brief spell in hospital, my mum spent a week in the care home. The staff were really welcoming, professional and looked after my mum's needs during her time there. My mum's recovery was speedy and I put this in part with the way she was looked after by all staff. If I have any comments to make the care home is sl… ightly dated and could benefit from a redecoration/refresh.

My aunt has always been happy living at Wellington Lodge. She loves all the care staff, who treat her with love and respect. She enjoys the food and drinks, all the common areas are clean and tidy. Unfortunately there are times when the bed and bathroom could do with a good clean.

My auntie is well cared for in Wellington Lodge. They know her likes and dislikes and go the extra mile to please her. She used to love all the activities when she was more active but unfortunately isn't able to take part as much now but the carers do all they can to include her and keep her engaged and happy. Thank you to them all.

What is included in care home fees?

For many people, moving to a care home is a big decision and it can be difficult to know where to start. Care home fees are based on a range of factors, including specific care needs, which can change over time.

- cost of personal care
- accommodation
- utilities e.g. heating and light
- all resident catering, meals, snacks and drinks
- laundry undertaken on the premises
- television licence, including for person use
- housekeeping services.

The following extra items and services are not covered by the weekly fees, however we can arrange for them to be provided (at an additional cost):
- professional hairdressing
- personal copies of newspapers or magazines
- personal purchases such as stationery, confectionery, toiletries etc.
- clothing, shoes and slippers
- dry cleaning
- private telephone line rental and calls and cable connections.

In the absence of free provision by the NHS, we can also arrange for the following healthcare services to be provided, these will be charged in addition to the weekly fees:
- chiropody
- optometry
- dentistry
- physiotherapy
- other privately arranged healthcare
- care staff accompaniment to regular medical appointments.

Welcoming you

To start your enquiry simply click 'Enquire now' at the top of the page and either call us or complete an online enquiry form.

We’ll provide you with full details of the home, along with any other information you’d like, such as sample menus and activity schedules.

Whether you’re looking to stay with us permanently, or for a short break, we’d be delighted to take you on a show round of the home in person. Simply book a visit with the home manager once you’ve made your enquiry.

If you or your loved one doesn’t live nearby or are unable to visit in person we can provide a virtual show round. Either way, we’re keen to show you what daily life is like here and for you to meet our friendly team.

We hope you decide, following your visit, that you or your loved one would like to move into the home, in which case we’ll organise a pre-assessment to make sure we can meet all your care needs.

Our friendly onsite team will discuss every area of moving-in with you in detail to make sure you and your loved-one know exactly what to expect and feel confident, safe and welcomed when coming to live with us.

Before you move in, we will find out if there are any of your possessions that you wish us to place in your room before you arrive. Please bring your family photographs and most treasured possessions to help make your room your home.
