Welcome to Langwith Lodge Residential Home
This fine, Neo-Georgian house was designed and constructed in the early 1900s by Louis Ambler for the Duke of Portland’s agent, having connections with the famous Welbeck Estate.
The home boasts comfortable accommodation and high quality care, nestled within gorgeous landscaped gardens.
About Langwith
Langwith Lodge is registered as a 54 bed care home, offering long-term residential care, respite, daycare and short-term stays for those in search of residential care and people with milder forms of dementia. The range of accommodation consists of single and companion rooms, some with en-suite facilities.
All rooms have a nurse call system, wash basins and other individual comforts. There are several well-appointed lounge areas featuring televisions, music and games. We have two dining rooms, too. Library books and other appropriate diversions are provided, and hobbies are arranged and promoted by our Activities Coordinator.
Residents are encouraged to embrace the community, and to become involved in events and group activities outside of the home.
We are also very proud of our internet lounge, which boasts several computers and printers, and other facilities that allow residents to keep in touch with friends and loved ones. The aim of the home is to provide a warm, happy and secure environment, within which the privacy and independence of our residents is respected.
Visiting
Family members and friends are welcome to visit as and when they wish. Drinks and snacks are always available, and we are happy to provide meals for visitors by prior arrangement.
Home and Grounds
Langwith Lodge is nestled within its own delightful, well-kept and secluded grounds, which extend to 8 acres or thereabouts. It is bordered by beautiful, unspoiled wooded countryside, and an attractive lake. This splendid period residence occupies a particularly beautiful setting on the edge of the village of Nether Langwith, bordering the famous Dukeries and Sherwood Forest close to the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire borders.
The restoration of this stunning old house has incorporated the retention of its original features, whilst accommodating all of the current Health and Safety regulations governing residential homes.
