Marple Lodge is led by James Bamford, who brings a calm, thoughtful approach to running the home. He is known for being approachable and responsive and works closely with both staff and families to create a settled, supportive atmosphere where residents feel genuinely cared for.
Marple Lodge is a small, friendly home in a quiet part of Marple, near open fields and the historic canal. It supports up to 20 residents with residential and dementia care. The home has a comfortable, lived-in feel and is known for its welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere.
Each resident has their own room, and the layout of the house encourages a natural rhythm to the day. We adapt our routines around the people who live here.
Residents can enjoy time in the garden, take part in activities that suit their interests, or simply relax with a cup of tea and familiar faces. The staff here are consistent and thoughtful, and many have worked at the home for years. That stability helps people feel truly at home.
Life at Marple Lodge includes both structured and informal activities, all designed to help residents stay active and connected. There’s space for quiet time, crafts, games and group conversation - all gently adapted to suit different needs and preferences.
The team works closely with residents to understand what feels meaningful to them. Whether it’s enjoying music, talking about the past, or spending time outdoors, the goal is always to support wellbeing in a way that feels natural.
Our kitchen team prepares fresh meals each day using simple, quality ingredients. There’s flexibility to eat in the dining room or in a resident’s room, depending on how they feel that day.
We cater for all dietary needs and take care to present meals in a way that’s appetising and dignified. Mealtimes are calm, sociable and shaped around individual routines.
