Nazareth Lodge Residential Care Home

Nazareth Lodge is a purpose-built residential care home situated in the vibrant market town of Sturminster Newton in North Dorset, set in the middle of landscaped gardens and with unrivalled views of the church Nazareth Lodge provides an oasis of calm and beauty for those who need it, whilst a full program of activities, both within the home or the town, is available for those who want to stay more active.

The home is registered by the Care Quality Commission for 24 residents, which ensures that every resident's care is personalised specifically to them and that all residents receive the highest levels of care and attention possible.  We have a two rooms currently available (see our Room vacancy page under Care Services), most rooms have wonderful garden or church views. We can also provide respite care if required - please enquire.

Only a small percentage of care homes gain the Outstanding rating from the CQC so we are understandably very proud to have achieved this again for the second year in a row.

Contact us today to arrange a visit! 

We have been left a wonderful review today, and thank you for helping us maintain our high standards that we all pride ourselves on here at Nazareth Lodge!

My mother has been in the care of the Nazareth Lodge staff since November 2025. My siblings and I have had and are having an extremely positive experience for our mother. All members of staff are always cheerful professional and accommodating. My mother has been cared for beautifully from the day she arrived.

My father is being very well cared for and we have absolutely no cause for any complaint. The staff are wonderfully caring, patient and understanding. They always have time for each individual resident and for relatives, always ensuring that we, as visitors, are well looked after and are made to feel welcome. Would have no problem in recommending the home to others. Thank you, Nazareth Lodge, you deserve your CQC Outstanding recognition.

Overall Experience

Testimonials

Our friend has been a resident at Nazareth Lodge for over 2 years. We visit her regularly. During that time, we have been totally satisfied with the level of care she has received. The staff are very attentive and the food is good. Her room is modern and cleaned regularly. She is very contented and feels at home. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nazareth Lodge to others, as we have done in the past.

To know that mum spent her last few days/weeks surrounded by your care and kindness, as well as professionalism, gives me a huge sense of relief and peace. Thank you for everything.

LM, daughter

Testimonials

Mum moved into Nazareth Lodge on 1st March 2022. Both she and I were so relieved to find such wonderfully caring staff there. In fact, we have been exceedingly impressed by the friendly, caring and professional attitude, which extends throughout the whole team of personnel working there, towards the residents and their relatives as well as amongst each other.
Mum is now 102 years old and needs a high level of care, and she has been consistently afforded respect and kindness along with an understanding of increasing the care as her condition progresses, physically and mentally. She very quickly “adopted “ the staff as her own family, and I am so grateful to them all for the unconditional love and care they have shown my mother and also to me.
