About
Oriel Lodge is a 22-bed home offering residential, dementia and respite care on the edge of Bath, in Larkhall. It occupies a Grade II listed building, and its layout was adapted with advice from a dementia care specialist while keeping the building's character.
Large bay windows bring daylight into the two communal rooms, and a covered porch lets residents sit outside in summer. The south-west facing patio and garden overlook lawns with views towards Bath, and some residents help tend the flower beds. Activities run indoors, outdoors and in the community, and local schools visit residents. The home is smoke-free throughout. The Care Quality Commission rated it Good overall in 2018, with all five key questions also rated Good.
