About Ivy Care Stone Lodge

Stone Lodge is a small residential care home located in Upton, near Pontefract in Wakefield. The home provides care for up to six residents and accepts people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, and older people requiring residential support. It also welcomes younger adults needing care services.

As a relatively small home, Stone Lodge may offer a more intimate setting compared to larger facilities. The home is operated by Ivy Cottage (Ackton) Ltd. Currently, the home has not yet received a CQC inspection rating.

This may be because it is newly registered or recently opened. Prospective residents and their families may wish to enquire directly about the home's experience, qualifications of staff, and specific support arrangements available.
