About
Acorn Lodge Care Centre is a purpose-built home in Hackney, London, with 101 registered beds. It provides nursing, dementia, residential, respite and palliative care. The home stands on Atherden Road, a short walk from a railway station and local bus routes, and spreads across four floors. Every bedroom is a single room with its own en suite, and residents are encouraged to bring personal belongings to make their room their own. Friends and family are welcome to visit under an open-door policy.
Meals are cooked on site by a resident chef, and the home has its own laundry facilities. Shared spaces include a pub, a library, a hair salon and quiet lounges, and the garden offers a place to relax in warmer weather. Care plans are drawn up with each resident and their family to cover care and wellbeing needs. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2024 report, and Good for all five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
