About
Charlton Lodge is a purpose-built care home in Wantage, in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, with 72 registered beds. It provides residential, dementia and respite care, and also offers end of life care. Each resident has a care and lifestyle plan, and the activity programme combines group activities with one-to-one time.
Bedrooms are individually decorated and each has an en-suite wet room. Shared spaces include lounges, a café, a cinema room and a hair and beauty salon, and the grounds include outdoor areas intended to be quiet for residents and their relatives. The home is close to the town, and its minibus takes residents on outings, including to the Kingsgrove woodland trails, which are suitable for wheelchair users.
