Welcome to Rose Lodge.
Rose Lodge is a purpose-built care home built in 2003 and then extended in 2004 to incorporate its specialised Dementia unit. Located in Cobblers Lane the home is located less than 2 miles from Newton Aycliffe Town Centre with 7 Sapphire bus stop on Burnhill Way and number 17 bus on Burn Lane.
The home is divided into four units, spread over two floors with the Lincoln and Hamilton suites housing 12 rooms for residential dementia residents and the main building caters for residential clients. All units have their own lounge and dining room for residents to relax and enjoy the delicious food cooked onsite in the homes kitchen.
There is a coffee shop in the main building with coffee corner and the snug in Lincoln and Hamilton units with complementary tea and coffee available for visitors to the home.
All bedrooms are provided fully furnished with en suite facilities and shared bathrooms and shower rooms with the option of personalising your own room with furniture from home and accessories should this be needed.
Rose Lodge's full-time activities coordinator provides residents with an extensive programme of activities, entertainment and events as well as trips out of the home to the local PCP groups. Its central location, regular coffee mornings and luncheon clubs, and charity fundraising events mean the home enjoys strong community links.
They have a 5-star award in Food Hygiene at the home and believe food is a huge aspect of their care at Rose Lodge and residents enjoy a cooked breakfast, choice of lunch and dinner meals, supper and hospitality trolley with drinks and cakes throughout the day.
The door is always open to visitors and they will be delighted to send you further information in the post including brochure, sample menu and sample activities pack or pop in to visit. They look forward to seeing you.

Mum being taken into the care home was a very traumatic experience for mum and her sons and daughters. Rose Lodge staff were very emphatic, supportive, helpful and reassuring. Mums family feel confident that the staff and management are fully committed to mums care and welfare. I personally feel the ethos of the staff is genuine and caring. As a family we feel that nothing is a trouble to the staff. The whole environment at Rose Lodge is welcoming, friendly and supportive. The home is spotless, food and drinks are of good quality. We feel mum is safe and well cared for, her health has improved a great deal. Thank you to the management and wonderful staff at Rose Lodge on behalf of mum and family.

My Mam has settled well in Rose Lodge Care Home and gets on very well with all the care staff. She is well looked after and I am kept fully informed at all times. Staff are respectful, caring and always helpful. My only concern is that the care home has been unable to appoint an activities co-ordinator for nearly 12 months now. It is important that one is appointed soon as residence enjoy doing different activities.

Thank you for your comments on Rose Lodge. We would like to address your concerns regarding the Activities Coordinator vacancy. There were 7 months, from the end of June 2015 until February 2016, without a full time Activities Coordinator in post. During the time there was a part-time Activities Coordinator from a sister care home who visited regularly for activities with residents, as well as planning activities and entertainment for when she was not on site.
The role of Activities Coordinator is an important one and we need to be careful that the right person is chosen. Passion, enthusiasm and an innovative approach to providing meaningful activities, entertainment and events for our residents are a prerequisite.
We are delighted to say that as of 15th February 2016 we appointed a full time Activities Coordinator, who is working alongside the residents and relatives to continue, as well as develop, the activities programme in Rose Lodge.
The manager and staff are very open, caring, polite and will do anything possible to help you. When I visit my wife and ask questions they are always willing and helpful in giving me answers to any problems that may arise.

My father has been a resident at Rose Lodge. He has Alzheimer's. I have visited on hundreds of occasions over the last two years and I think that the care home is lovely. The staff are so friendly and professional. They treat the residents and guests with dignity and respect. In my fathers case, they always seem to have time to talk with him, give him a reassuring hug or make him a cup of tea. They shower him, despite his reluctance (his personal hygiene standards dropped before he moved to Rose Lodge) and they keep him safe and comfortable. The cleaning and laundry service around the home is great and the food looks nice. Overall, there is a lovely, welcoming atmosphere at Rose Lodge. Thanks to the staff, who, in my opinion are fantastic people.
My mother is well looked after. She has settled in very well. The staff are all very polite to my mother and myself.
