York Lodge Care home
York Lodge is a family-run independent residential care home in Urmston which can accommodate up to twenty-two people.
We opened in 1986, and have been at the heart of the Urmston community in the Trafford area ever since. We converted and refurbished York Lodge care home ourselves specifically to provide the highest standards of residential care. We are not part of a large, impersonal organisation, and so you can be assured of the family’s personal attention and care on a daily basis.
Our aim has always been to meet the needs of the older residents of our diverse community in Trafford, and to assist them to continue living as independently as possible. We value each and every person who comes to live with us at York Lodge care home, and we welcome applications from people of all walks of life.
