Questions families ask
Will they accept a resident back after hospital admission?
Yes. They accept residents back because the home remains their home. After a hospital stay of more than one week, Trusted Assessors help assess any changes in their needs.
Do they accept residents over 65?
Yes. They provide care for people over 65, including long-term, short-term and respite care.
How much does Down Lodge Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Down Lodge Residential Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wokingham council paid on average £1,181 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.
