The 36 bedroom suites are designed to give residents luxury, privacy and independence. The home prides itself on providing expert, tailored care in a relaxed, friendly and comfortable setting. With sumptuous views and award-winning gardens, Eighton Lodge is set in semi-rural surroundings and offers exquisite luxury and comfort.
At Eighton Lodge, staff the importance of recreational activities, and with a dedicated activities coordinator who plans each day based on the lifestyle preferences and abilities of the residents, there is a full programme of events available, both in and out of the home.
Also, set in the beautiful grounds of Eighton Lodge is The Manor, a groundbreaking home dedicated to young onset dementia. Whilst all Wellburn care homes, including Eighton Lodge, provide dementia care, The Manor focuses on providing age-appropriate care for those aged 65 and under who are living with young onset dementia, and whose needs are vastly different compared to older people with the condition.
The Manor at Eighton Lodge is the only dedicated young onset home in its region, and has been specifically designed to help each client achieve the perfect balance between independence and support. Its spaces include 8 bedroom suites, a fully fitted, dementia-sensitive kitchen, a decked terrace and dining area, and an exclusive private garden.
The Manor offers day care, respite stays and permanent placements. The day care services operate seven days a week and run through from 8am to 6pm, with entirely flexible pick-up and drop-off times depending on your needs.
Staff at both Eighton Lodge and The Manor at Eighton Lodge are always on-hand to answer any questions, and to guide you through the process. Visit Eighton Lodge and The Manor and discover your kind of home.

As much as my gran wants to be in her own home, the care and support she receives is fantastic. There is always some sort of activity as well as days out. And the family meetings are a great idea. There is a good variety of food options. The staff are always helpful and friendly at all times.

I've been to many care homes over the years visiting the elderly and I can honestly say this is one of the best care homes I've visited. My friend is always looking happy and telling me all what they have been up to.

My mother has been a resident for just over a year. Like many families, you never expect to be, or want to think about, putting one of your parents in a care home. The first day was literally like taking your child to school for the first day, then worrying about how they get on when you've gone! I had nothing to worry about. My mother has Alzheimer's, amongst other things, so she'll always complain about something! When things have gone wrong, or there's been issues, the manager and his team have been first-class in addressing any issues or concerns. Of course it's not perfect and mistakes do happen, but the sign of a great place is how you deal with this. Again, any issues have always been dealt with to, not only my mother's expectations, but mine as well. My mother regularly says (when she's not complaining!) 'I love it here, I love the lasses and my room'. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who is looking for somewhere to leave a loved one.
Friendly, happy, clean home. All the girls are very helpful and very lovely. Nothing is a bother. Excellent.

Eighton Lodge is a lovely, happy place. Staff and carers can't do enough for the residents and we, as a family, like the way they involve us in everything they do. The staff and carers keep the residents well entertained in doing activities with them all. I was concerned in Mam having to go into care, but we are extremely happy in the care and support she gets. She is happy in herself too. Can't thank them enough for their care.

We are so pleased you are happy with the quality of care your mother is receiving, as it is our top priority to make sure we provide a safe and caring environment for our residents.
