About
Pembroke Lodge is a small care home in Reading, Berkshire, with 20 registered beds, a short distance from the Royal Berkshire Hospital. It supports people who are medically fit to leave hospital but not yet ready to return home, including those recovering from a joint replacement, fracture or fall. Stays can also provide time-limited support while home adaptations are completed, or respite when a carer arrangement breaks down. Residents live in self-contained apartments with their own front door, living space and bathroom, which they can furnish with their own belongings. Personal care and medication support are arranged to the level assessment identifies, with a team on site around the clock.
The Care Quality Commission rates Pembroke Lodge Requires Improvement overall, in its 2025 report. Its key-question grades are Good for Caring and Responsive, and Requires Improvement for Safe, Effective and Well-led.
