Nazareth Lodge

Long Term Care

With a dedicated team of staff, all from the local area, we are pleased to say we do not use agency staff. This ensures that the same, friendly faces, are around everyday and also supports the continuity of care to our residents.

Over the years the home has gained a reputation for its excellent care, à la carte menus and “home from home” atmosphere. Dogs are also part of the “family”! It is a happy, vibrant home offering a range of activities such as arts and crafts, gardening circle, board games, exercise classes, visits from outside entertainment and crossword groups to name but a few, and in the summer months outings on the mini bus to various destinations such as the pub for lunch, the beach and local attractions!

There are many reasons why we believe Nazareth Lodge is probably the best residential care home in Dorset. Our staff are amazing, we have strong community links and most important, we care!!.

Thank you to all the staff for an excellent evening last night. The food was delicious and there was a lovely atmosphere. I have to remind myself sometimes that its a care home! I think Ma is beginning to feel that it's home for her. We're very pleased. 

Mrs CJ, Resident's daughter

Testimonials

Mum needed care at very short notice, due to a recent illness that had set her on a downward spiral. After reading the amazing reviews we spoke to the Administrator. She was so helpful, warm and welcoming that we didn't hesitate to choose Nazareth Lodge for mum. The home does not have any of the typical odours, sometimes associated with care homes, it is spotless, the food is fresh, homemade and has certainly enticed mum into eating again. The staff are so caring, respectful and welcoming to residents and family. Mum is enjoying all the interaction and the trips out. It is so nice to see her bright and engaged again after such a short period of time. A weekly newsletter is sent to the relatives, which is so thoughtful, it makes us feel part of the home. We truly are blessed to have found the best care home in Dorset for our mum. Thank you Nazareth Lodge.

Social occasions at Nazareth Lodge were a treat and showed us just how everyone worked together cheerfully to provide the happiest possible environment.

Mr S D, Son

Testimonials

My husband is already a resident and I have spent two weeks in respite care. I have been wonderfully cared for and feel I have recovered very quickly. I cannot fault the staff, who are so caring and gentle and always cheerful. The food is lovely, well cooked and presented. There are plenty of activities organised and outings arranged for mobile residents. This is an excellent care home and its awards are well deserved.

The last few weeks have been, to say the least, a bit of a roller coaster for my mother in law. For this period to end in the haven of Nazareth Lodge has seen our prayers answered and we could not be more grateful. Thank You.
