Forest Lodge Care Home - Residential Care / Day Care

Forest Lodge is a family owned and run Care Home, enabling us to maintain a family atmosphere about our home, unlike other homes. Having been established for over 30 years and building great relationships over this time, has made Forest Lodge a loving place to live.

Care with comfort, privacy and complete independence

Our home is set amongst the most beautiful mature trees of the Forest Recreational Park, allowing for lovely views and privacy. We provide a safe and friendly environment for all to enjoy.

Great accessibility

The Home is easily accessible and with local shops and city centre just minutes away; residents can make full use of the nearby tramline and bus routes with ease of access. We strive to encourage independence.

Decorating

We invite residents to bring their household items, furniture, treasured possessions, favourite photographs and mementos which will help to trigger their happy memories and important milestones in their life giving them that reassurance and peace of mind and assisting to the transition to settling in. Each bedroom at Forest Lodge is spacious allowing residents to make the bedroom “their bedroom”.

Residents are able to take advantage of our “paint your room” service. Which allows residents to paint their bedroom whatever colour they prefer, have a focus wall if they want. This has been a real inspiration for our residents, and helps them to settle in much quicker, choose colours and decorate the way they wish, as they have been doing in their own homes.

Day Care

Day Care at Forest Lodge is new to the community and aims to provide the ideal solution for those who are still able to live in their own home's but want to meet new people and socialise. it is designed to support those who wish to maintain their independence. As a day care participant you will have the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of organised activities, a 3 course meal whilst still remaining a resident of your own home. 

If you care for a loved one, our day care and respite service allows you to have a well-deserved break for a few hours. This allows you to relax whilst knowing your loved ones are in a safe and caring environment; enjoying themselves.
