It sits in Oakwood ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 40% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS West and North London ICB.

What it may cost

We estimate Elizabeth Lodge at £2,010–£2,460 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region (Care UK homes publish prices above their area average). Over a year that is roughly £105k–£128k.

For residents assessed as needing nursing, a weekly NHS contribution goes straight to the home towards the fee, whoever pays the rest.

People with savings under £23,250 may get help from Enfield Council after a needs and financial assessment.

How long it has been running

CQC registration dates from January 2011, so the service has been operating for around 15 years under its current registration.

CQC has published 4 overall ratings for it (2015–2021), starting at Requires improvement; it has gone up 2 and down 1 time, and is now Good.

At 5 years old, the rating may not reflect the current team. CQC prioritises higher-risk services, so ask about recent changes rather than assuming the worst.
