Loxley Lodge Care Home provides personal care to 22 people, including those living with dementia, across two floors of a purpose-built building. The home can accommodate up to 42 people and has designated isolation areas for infection control purposes. Staff have access to personal protective equipment, though some do not always wear it correctly.

While the home is generally clean and tidy with ongoing refurbishments, some cleaning tasks designed to prevent infection spread are not carried out regularly enough.

The home has arrangements in place to manage visits and conducts regular COVID-19 testing for both residents and staff.
