A Warm Welcome to Abigail Lodge Care Home in Consett

Abigail Lodge Care Home is a warm and friendly home in the centre of Consett. We are close to local shops and public transport, making us easily accessible for visitors to pop-in for a chat.

Here at Abigail Lodge we welcome families with open arms and have developed a residents hub area that families are welcome to use. The hub opens out onto a secure and beautiful garden for enjoying sunny days and a little fresh air.

From our latest CQC report: “Interactions between people and the staff team were very positive and relatives also said they were made very welcome at the home. People were treated with kindness, dignity and respect.”

Our clubs and activities are inspired by our current residents, here’s just a taster of what’s currently available:

  • Resident ‘buddy’ system to help residents socialise and support each other
  • Model train Club
  • Jigsaw challenge
  • Regular arts and crafts
  • Karaoke Club

We believe just because someone moves into a care home, that doesn’t mean they should stop doing the things they love. That’s why we provide an ever-changing activities programme inspired by residents’ interests and needs.

From visits from entertainers and trips out to church services and one-to-one activities, we offer a wide range activities to help residents live life to the full.

We offer a person-centred approach that is delivered through quality care, recreation and activities, and food and dining.

At Abigail Lodge, we are always happy to help, so please get in touch with our friendly team. In 2023 our team helped over two hundred families in their search for care in 2023.

A recent visitor commented after their show round: “They knew everyone and their needs by name. the home was clean and tidy, the gardens looked as if they were well looked after also. Very, very friendly and helpful.”

Our team provides all types of care for our residents. Such as residential care for people who need a little help with daily tasks, as well as residential dementia care where we support our residents to maintain their independence and individuality, encouraging social activity and building relationships within the home. We also provide nursing care for those who have complex medical needs, and 24-hour nursing dementia care provided by specialist teams trained in the complexities of looking after those living with dementia, who may also have other long-term medical conditions.

Key Information

We provide care for those who are publicly funded as well as those paying for their own care.

It’s important to get professional advice on the best way to fund the cost of care and we suggest that you take advice from a care fees expert to make sure that you have explored all the options available to you.

In order to make life easier we have contacted a national care fees planning specialist, Symponia who are dedicated to the financial issues of later life, in particular the payment of care fees. Through Symponia’s network of carefully selected and qualified financial advisers they offer you and/or your family member empathic, bespoke advice on the best way to fund weekly care fees. This approach ensures that not only are all our residents and their families aware of the legislation and how it works but they are able to explore all the financial options available to them.

It should be noted that Four Seasons Health Care and Symponia operate completely independently with no commission or financial benefit to Four Seasons Health Care as a result of your conversation or contract.

Trusted Feedback from Families & Residents

The staff were incredibly caring and nothing was too
much. Due to dementia, my father presented a number of challenges which they addressed at each stage and he felt happy and contented. Nothing but praise for the staff who always had time to help/answer questions.
