About Oak Lodge
Oak Lodge provides residential and nursing care for older people, including those living with dementia. The home is registered for nursing care, dementia and older people, and its wider service information also describes residential support and resident enrichment through activities and outings.
Residents can take part in daily activities or use the minibus for trips out, with a homely setting intended to support comfort and social connection. The available care categories make Oak Lodge relevant to people whose needs may include nursing support as well as residential assistance. Its key practical distinction is residential and nursing care for older people with dementia-related needs.

Questions families ask
How much does Oak Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Oak Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Somerset council paid on average £1,082 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 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 Oak Lodge whether it takes residents funded by Somerset 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). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
