Abigail Lodge Care Home is a warm and friendly home in the centre of Consett. We are close to local shops and public transport, making us easily accessible for visitors to pop-in for a chat.

Our team provides all types of care for our residents. Such as residential care for people who need a little help with daily tasks, as well as residential dementia care where we support our residents to maintain their independence and individuality, encouraging social activity and building relationships within the home. We also provide nursing care for those who have complex medical needs, and 24-hour nursing dementia care provided by specialist teams trained in the complexities of looking after those living with dementia, who may also have other long-term medical conditions.

Our dementia care is accredited as part of Four Seasons Dementia Care Framework.

At Abigail Lodge, residents are considered part of the family. We love to encourage residents to take part in all decisions - contributing to everything from the way their room looks, to the therapies they receive.

Here we offer a range of activites, which include getting involved with our local community and events.
