About Lodge

Castleford Lodge is a nursing home in Castleford, caring for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing support, including many residents living with dementia. Nurses are on site at every hour, so clinical needs are met here rather than requiring a move elsewhere, and people can stay with us as their health changes. We keep close attention on medication, pain relief, skin care and nutrition, and we involve GPs and community teams early rather than waiting for small concerns to become serious. The day itself is what residents and families notice most. Mornings are flexible, meals are cooked on the premises and adapted to individual tastes, and support with washing and dressing is given at the resident's pace. For people living with dementia we keep routines familiar and spend real time learning a person's history, because that is usually what allows us to settle someone who is anxious. Families are welcome here and we would far rather hear from you regularly than only when something has gone wrong. We also offer respite care, whether to give a family carer a break or to provide nursing support for a few weeks after a hospital stay. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
