The Lodge – with Nursing

The Lodge is a specialist nursing and care home dedicated to supporting individuals living with dementia and the unique challenges they face. Nestled within the tranquil Buckshaw Retirement Village near Chorley, our home is designed to provide a compassionate and supportive environment.

Through careful research and collaboration with the nationally renowned Dementia Services Development Centre, we have developed four unique communities that embody best practices in dementia care. We are proud to have received their first-ever Gold Standard accreditation for dementia design.

Each community at The Lodge offers a distinct experience, catering to a range of needs from early-stage dementia care to 24-hour nursing support for individuals with complex health and social requirements. We are committed to covering every stage of the dementia journey.

Discover the Heart of The Lodge: The Market Square

At the heart of The Lodge lies the Market Square, a vibrant social hub designed for meaningful activities and socialising with family and friends. This unique space provides the perfect setting to relax and enjoy life, featuring various venues and destination spaces where residents can engage in specially designed activities and wander with purpose.
