Bridgeside Lodge Care Home – Luxury Care in London

Bridgeside Lodge offers dedicated and specialist care within a contemporary, gated care centre adjacent to the stunning Regent’s Canal in Islington, North London. We are within easy reach for families, friends and loved ones close to St Pancras and Kings Cross. Our 24-hour care facility is built and furnished to the highest standards, offering support for adults aged 18 and above, including older people.

Our expansive property is staffed by incredible teams of carers, complemented by visiting therapists, ensuring all residents enjoy a relaxed, supported lifestyle. Bridgeside Lodge offers professionalcare support for many conditions, including neurological, spinal and dementia diagnoses.

Luxury Care Accommodation in a Modern London Setting

As a purpose-built care centre, we have 64 private single bedrooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms as standard. Our residents are encouraged to bring furnishings, possessions or furniture, ensuring the space is comfortable, filled with familiar belongings, and acts as a true home from home.

Each private accommodation space is designed for relaxation, accompanied by bright, spacious communal areas and lounges. Residents can welcome their friends and family members, participate in our diverse schedule of entertainment activities, or watch TV and enjoy movie nights in their favourite recliner.

The canal views are a wonderful backdrop, with boats and river tours drifting by, with full gating around the care home for your peace of mind and security. Our long-serving care teams work diligently to organise celebrations, social events, and outdoor activities in warm weather, with the terrace a perfect spot for music, birthdays, and other special occasions.

Inclusive Events, Entertainment and Activities

Bridgeside Lodge Care Home provides a broad array of events to ensure our residents have plenty of activities to engage in based on their hobbies, pastimes and the types of arts, crafts, music or entertainment they most enjoy. Quiz nights, riverside barbecues, craft workshops and tea parties are often hosted within the care centre.

Each resident is encouraged to let us know the routines or activities they value, enabling our care teams to ensure they always have the opportunity to watch their football or rugby team play, have a regular slot in our hairdressing salon for beauty treatments and pampering, or get out and about in the community.

We assist with many outdoor trips and days out, from visiting the local park to watch the autumn leaves and spring buds, travelling to the local high street to browse the independent shops and boutique stores, or making the most of our secure patio to relax in the shade by the water in the summer months.

Fresh, Nutritious Dining and Catering

As part of the award-winning Forest Healthcare Group, we provide tasty, nutritious and healthy meals prepared by our catering partners apetito – the leading provider of fresh dining for British care homes. Chef-made menus are created with expert dieticians and nutritionists to support health, specialist needs, allergies, intolerances and preferences – all while being delicious and varied.

Bridgeside Lodge in the News

It was extremely rewarding that Bridgeside Lodge in Islington was featured on BBC news recently, on multiple occasions to London and South East viewers, with a headline feature on breakfast news. The segments explored how Bridgeside Lodge is working with The Spitz Charitable Trust, who encourages and empowers our residents to reflect, share stories and recall important moments and occasions in their lives.

Customer Feedback

Relocating into a care home, even a luxurious and well-appointed private accommodation space, can be a big decision. We provide full needs assessments beforehand, ensuring we have a complete understanding of the care, conditions and overall health of the individual to verify that our skills, facilities and care teams can provide the necessary support.

From there, we work closely with prospective residents, loved ones, and families to help schedule a seamless, stress-free, supported transfer. Residents may be referred to us, self-refer directly or through a family member, or decide that Bridgeside Lodge is the ideal setting for them following a care centre visit, needs assessment, and chat about possible funding options.

We value these initial meetings and welcome guests to visit us in person to experience the warmth and compassion we are known for, with the chance to explore the grounds and accommodation first-hand and speak to our care teams and managers to run through any questions.

Please be advised that we are often obliged to operate a waiting list due to sustained demand and the limited number of rooms available. While we will always make time to accommodate a visit, guided tour, and discussion, we recommend contacting us as soon as possible.

A typical pathway is:

  • referral by commissioner or self/family
  • visit to our care centre
  • assessment by our management team
  • funding discussion
