The Lodge provides care for up to seven adults with learning disabilities across two floors in a single building. At inspection, all seven places were occupied, with three residents on one floor and four on the other.

The home maintains high standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Communal areas are spacious, allowing for social distancing, and the property benefits from good ventilation with patio doors providing garden access. Cleaning schedules identify high-touch areas for enhanced cleaning, which the registered manager checks daily.
