About Derwent Lodge
Round-the-clock nursing, residential, dementia and palliative care support residents who need more help than living at home allows. Derwent Lodge welcomes older people and younger adults, with care plans shaped around individual needs, preferences and routines. A qualified nurse is available 24/7, alongside specialist dementia support and care for people recovering from illness or hospital stays.
Short-term respite and convalescent placements are available, including support for people regaining strength after hospital treatment or giving family carers a break. Families can visit regularly, join activities and arrange a visit to understand daily life at the home. Residents approaching the end of life receive comfort-focused support, including help with pain, breathlessness and other distressing symptoms.
