About Doddington Lodge
Doddington Lodge provides residential care with specialist dementia care, respite and short stays available through its documented service menu. The home combines refurbished accommodation with communal living areas, suites, social activities and family visits, giving residents a setting intended to feel like a home rather than a clinical facility.
Its facilities include a sensory garden and hair salon, while the wider programme includes wellbeing activities and support with care planning. Families are invited to visit before deciding, and the home presents its accommodation, surroundings and daily life as part of the decision-making process. The available material also describes new family management and refurbished accommodation, alongside food and grounds as practical parts of the resident experience.

Questions families ask
How much does Doddington Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Doddington Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Shropshire council paid on average £918 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Doddington Lodge whether it takes residents funded by Shropshire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
