Situated in a residential area of Dartford in south east London, Shore Lodge is a purpose-built single story home that can accommodate up to 10 adults with physical and learning disabilities. The home is close to Dartford town centre, which offers a variety of local amenities including shops, a post office, a library and a regular market. With good transport links to central London, the service is also only a short drive from Bluewater and Lakeside shopping centres.

Shore Lodge delivers high quality care for adults with physical and learning disabilities in a friendly and safe environment. Regulated by the Care Quality Commission, the dedicated and experienced team use a person centred approach to ensure every individual’s needs are understood and met with the greatest privacy, dignity and respect.

Each individual chooses how they are supported, and lead very active lives. With a focus on independence, health, wellbeing and skills building, extensive activity programmes offer something for everyone. As well as staff, a team of committed volunteers support individual and group activities, so all have the chance to be social, get creative, or enjoy exercise.

Shore Lodge enables residents to get the most out of life, supporting individuals to maintain relationships with family and friends, and gain the ability to move on to more independent living when they’re ready.
