Located in the delightful seaside town of Exmouth, Rose Lodge is the perfect place for people living with Dementia to experience the highest quality of life. Caring for someone with dementia yourself can be tiring and often very distressing. Coping with someone whom you may have known and loved for years but who may now often fail to recognise you can be desperately upsetting and difficult to deal with. Rose Lodge is an active and social home. We have found that people with dementia are generally happier when they are supported to be as active and independent as possible. Our weekly activities programme includes gardening, live music, drama, singing, crafts, a pub quiz, rambling, art, and trips out, as well as individual occupational activities. So, moving into a home like Rose Lodge is the perfect way for you to give your loved one the best quality of life. In our 2011 relatives survey, all relatives agreed that Rose Lodge offers an excellent quality of care and that their loved one’s wellbeing has improved significantly since they joined Rose Lodge. All of them said they would recommend Rose Lodge to their friends. We offer DAY CARE, RESPITE CARE and RESIDENTIAL CARE and free trial days. Please call Peter or Karen now on 01395 227071 to discuss your needs.

District Council,  under the auspices of the Imagine the peace of mind you’ll feel knowing that your loved one is getting the best possible care in a loving and understanding environment. Located in the delightful seaside town of Exmouth, Rose Lodge is the perfect place for people living with Dementia to experience the highest quality of life. Caring for someone with dementia yourself can be tiring and often very distressing. Coping with someone whom you may have known and loved for years but who may now often fail to recognise you can be desperately upsetting and difficult to deal with. Rose Lodge is an active and social home. We have found that people with dementia are generally happier when they are supported to be as active and independent as possible. Our weekly activities programme includes gardening, live music, drama, singing, crafts, a pub quiz, rambling, art, and trips out, as well as individual occupational activities. So, moving into a home like Rose Lodge is the perfect way for you to give your loved one the best quality of life. In our 2011 relatives survey, all relatives agreed that Rose Lodge offers an excellent quality of care and that their loved one’s wellbeing has improved significantly since they joined Rose Lodge. All of them said they would recommend Rose Lodge to their friends. We offer DAY CARE, RESPITE CARE and RESIDENTIAL CARE and free trial days. Please call Peter or Karen now on 01395 227071 to discuss your needs.
