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.

The staff are lovely, I've never had any problems with any of them and hopefully never will. They do a cracking job in difficult circumstances, I've always found the staff to be very outgoing and very friendly.

Happy with care given. Not sure about 'activities', unfortunately, some are not interested in doing anything as going out on outings. Maybe more encouragement required for indoor input but do realise staff can only do so much.

During this time, they were and are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I would have no hesitation in recommending Eighton Lodge care home to others.

We have been very happy with the overall level of care for my father. Staff appear knowledgeable as to my father's mental and physical state. He is more settled now and despite issues re. his mood, his mobility and his medical condition, staff are 'in his corner' and want him to succeed in his day...
