Woodham Lodge

Woodham Lodge is one of our residential care homes in County Durham, where we provide support for up to six people with a learning disability, physical disabilities, epilepsy, mental health needs, Down’s syndrome, and challenging behaviour.

Supporting you
At Woodham Lodge, we encourage the people we support to develop their daily living and social skills to become more confident.

We encourage you to share responsibilities around the home and personalise your bedroom to your taste.

We believe everyone has the right to live as independently as they choose. So, we support you to make choices about how you live your life and pursue meaningful opportunities. We support you to maintain your relationships - family and friends are welcome to visit at any time!

Facilities

Woodham Lodge is an adapted bungalow. It is accessible for wheelchair users and specialist equipment is provided as necessary.

There is a large conservatory along with a summer house which overlooks a large mature garden. We also benefit from a more sheltered patio area where people can sit and enjoy the sunshine.

We are situated close to Newton Aycliffe town centre which has shops, cafes, a leisure centre, library, and GP surgeries. Also within walking distance is the Pioneering Care Centre, which has excellent facilities, including a hydrotherapy pool, chiropodist, social evenings, a café, and much more.

Exploring further afield, we are just a short drive from Darlington, Durham and Bishop Auckland and benefit from nearby bus routes and a local train station.

We have a dedicated and compassionate team, many of whom have worked here for a number of years.  Our team takes the time to get to know the people we support as individuals. Building open and honest relationships, we support individual choices and respect each person’s values, wishes and needs.

We are actively engaged with local medical services and professional bodies. Together, we work as a multi-disciplinary team, ensuring everyone who lives at Woodham Lodge is getting the very best care and support.
