About The Lodge

The Lodge is a residential care home set within the beautiful countryside of Rutland, one of England's smallest and most peaceful counties. Families looking for a calm, supportive environment for their loved one will find that the rural surroundings here offer a genuine sense of space and tranquillity. The team at The Lodge is dedicated to making residents feel at home, and the setting itself goes a long way in creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

This residential care home provides personal and nursing care to up to 30 people, primarily those with autism and learning disabilities. The service operates as a Christian home across a country park setting with six different bungalows and houses. Some residents live in self-contained flats while others have their own bedroom and ensuite with shared communal spaces.

At inspection, 29 people were using the service.

Inspectors found that while staff generally supported residents to have choice and control over their lives using the least restrictive approach, there were gaps in the service. Written guidance to support staff in this work was not always clear, and some residents' specific health needs were not adequately assessed and documented. Additionally, some staff had not completed mandatory training regarding support for people with learning disabilities and autism.
