Cambrian Lodge is a residential home located in the heart of Portishead in the county of North Somerset. The elegant Victorian building was originally built for the Wills tobacco family and is just a stone’s throw away from Portishead seafront.
There is a highly qualified and passionate team providing care 24-hours a day assisting with all everyday tasks required. Each individual has a person-centred and individualised care plan allowing flexibility and choice.
Cambrian Lodge is able to accommodate those requiring residential care and care for those who are living with dementia. Offering both permanent placements and shorter respite breaks it enables the flexibility suited to you. Shorter respite breaks are ideal for when families go away on holiday or you may just need some TLC. This is also a great way of sampling life at Cambrian Lodge as the decision to move into a care home can quite often feel quite daunting, so this allows a non-rushed approached to making such a big decision.
