How it fits locally
There are 12 other care homes within 3 miles, 11 of them rated Good or Outstanding; the nearest is Rother Valley View, under 0.5 miles away.
It is registered for needs that fewer services nearby cover: mental health conditions (6 of the nearest 25); physical disabilities (6 of the nearest 25).
3 of the 25 nearest rated care homes have a more recent rating than this one.
It sits in Aston & Todwick ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 50% most deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS South Yorkshire ICB.
Within about a 10-minute walk there is a GP surgery (6 min), a pharmacy (6 min), a shop (3 min), a park (2 min), a café (5 min) and a bus stop (1 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.
Budgeting for this home
We estimate The Lodge at £1,360–£1,670 a week for nursing care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £71k–£87k.
Part of a nursing fee may be met by the NHS (NHS-funded nursing care), paid to the home rather than to you.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Rotherham Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
