About Gate Lodge
Gate Lodge supports older people with 24-hour residential dementia care in a family-run home. Assistance includes personal care, accommodation, meals and flexible support, with residents able to retain a relationship with another local GP where appropriate.
An in-house activities coordinator arranges individual and group sessions, days out and special occasions. Residents can continue hobbies and join baking, games and chair aerobics, alongside singing, gardening and outings. Home-cooked meals are prepared from scratch, and visitors are encouraged to attend, including well-behaved pets.

Questions families ask
Can residents receive GP visits at the care home?
Yes. The team works with the local doctor’s surgery and arranges for residents to be visited in the home when they need to see a GP.
Do they provide personalised palliative care?
Yes. They work closely with St Christopher’s Hospice to provide a personalised palliative care service tailored to each resident and their family.
What activities are available at Gate Lodge?
They provide individual and group activities, days out and special occasions, with an in-house coordinator planning activities around residents’ interests.
Does Gate Lodge provide smaller meals throughout the day?
Yes. The home serves smaller meals regularly, with nutritious fresh food and drinks using seasonal produce, including breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
How much does Gate Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Gate Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Croydon council paid on average £1,255 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.
