Balkerne Gardens Trust Limited care homes

Cheviot Nursing Home provides 24-hour nursing care for residents with complex medical needs, including older people, younger adults and people with physical disabilities. Its 33-bed home in Lexden supports residents who need qualified nurses on hand throughout the day and night, with care tailored to each person. The home forms part of Balkerne Gardens Trust, which offers different accommodation and care settings across its wider community.

Freda Gunton Lodge provides residential care for older people in a 38-room home designed to support independence, with help available whenever needed. Two rooms can accommodate couples, and residents can bring aspects of home life into their new setting.

The home offers respite and end-of-life care, alongside activities such as arts and crafts, poetry, therapy dog visits and choir sessions. Support is adapted as needs change.
