Care homes are regulated by independent Inspectorates in each country of the UK, subject to periodic inspections and awarded quality grades. Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the care home pages on this website. With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available. Those run by private operators more often focus on lifestyle, with help and care services discretely available to buy if or when required.
Autumna is the UK's largest and most comprehensive later-life living & elderly care directory. Our detailed search facility and team of expert advisors can help you find the best care homes, nursing homes, retirement homes, retirement villages, home care, and live-in care services for you or your loved one's needs. Our website is free to use, we are proudly independent, and we never take referral fees. Hamewith Lodge’s Home Manager makes sure that all Residents receive the kindest possible care.
Why do we have a profile score?
We’ll research on your behalf and find you the right care, at the right cost - turning stress into straightforward. Care designed to provide quality support and comfort for people living with life-limiting conditions. Ideally placed in Aberdeen, Hamewith Lodge is a purpose-built care home with 60 beds offering nursing and nursing memory care for those living with dementia. It includes all 11,500 registered care homes in the UK that cater exclusively or primarily for older people. There is no charge whatsoever to appear in it, and we welcome a photo and descriptive text to enhance the presentation of your home. Just be aware that we do not provide housing or care services ourselves, so we cannot accept applications for housing and do not have any control over the services listed on our site.
Our housekeeping teams take great pride in overseeing the essential housekeeping duties that make the “house a home”. Care homes are very busy places and with all the comings and goings our housekeepers work tirelessly with laundry, cleaning and the general interior presentation of the care home. If any information on this page is incorrect you can email the correct details to the local authority shown above. At other times we offer an answer phone service so please leave a message and we'll call you back. Our HousingCare PLUS and PREMIUM subscription services offer additional branding, links to your own site, ‘vacancy / availability ads’ and much more. Our Housing Directory aims to include all housing schemes /developments in the UK that are intended for older people.

The site’s 4 million visitors a year comprise roughly 45% older people, 45% younger family and relatives, and 10% professionals who work with older people. Our Care Home Managers are carefully selected based on their experience and expertise in delivering quality care and lifestyle services and their values and commitment in leading a team to deliver the kindest possible care. Care Home Managers are supported by a number of Colleagues with specific expertise and training in their chosen field as outlined below. With four sitting rooms and two dining areas, Residents are offered plenty of spaces in which to relax and dine, all with furnishings specially designed for comfort. The hairdressing salon, memory room and a room to pursue hobbies and interests are all on hand for Residents’ convenience and enjoyment.
A challenge we all face as we get older is to think about where we live, and how it will work for us when we’re older. If you intend to ‘stay put’ where you are, then thinking and planning ahead makes sense. For further information on Colleagues working in your care home, please speak to the Care Home Manager.
Hamewith Lodge Care Home in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire
In our larger Care Homes the Care Home Manager is support by a Unit Manager or Head of Care; the type of person in this role will have significant experience and expertise in leading nursing and care teams. The carers and Residents at Hamewith Lodge enjoy playing an important part in their local community. The home encourages an atmosphere of fun and inclusion and runs a weekly programme of events, which includes talks and demonstrations from local people willing to share their knowledge and talents. Performers from the area regularly visit and entertain Residents with songs, sketches, singing and dancing, and members of neighbourhood groups, volunteers and other locals often drop in for a cup of tea and a chat. The home’s caring team has created a family atmosphere, encouraging everyone to eat and celebrate special occasions together.
We have recently been able to open EAC Advice, a new 'housing options' advice service for older people. Care services offered to people in housing-with-care facilities are regulated, subject to periodic inspections and awarded grades. Wherever possible, Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the housing-with-care pages on this website. Housing-with-care is a recent but natural evolution of retirement housing to provide an environment capable of enabling older people to maintain their independence even if they become physically or mentally frail. Residents are served three meals a day, as well as a mid-morning snack and afternoon tea. We use fresh ingredients, locally sourced wherever possible, with the emphasis on providing delicious seasonal meals.
The UK's largest & most detailed directory of elderly care and retirement living options
We understand the nutritional needs of older people and create meals that offer the correct calorific and nutritional content. We have therefore encouraged every provider to open their ‘online windows and doors’ to help you make an informed choice. Specialist care designed to meet the challenges faced by people living with dementia. If HOOP doesn't provide all the information you need, submit your HOOP session to us to arrange a conversation with an EAC Advisor.
Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold. Most retirement developments offer either properties for sale or for rent, but newer ones may offer both tenure options, and possibly shared ownership too. Buying a ‘home for life plan’, or ‘lifetime lease’, gives you the right to live in a property until you die or move to a care home. This is the food hygiene rating for HAMEWITH LODGE CARE HOME - HC-ONE based in Aberdeen City in the Scotland area.

Entries are completely free, and we’re happy to work with you to ensure your service are presented in a way you’re happy with. A care home is a residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms or hotel-style suites, because they need regular or continuous access to care.
Residents are invited to decorate their rooms with small items of their own furniture and treasured belongings so that it feels just like home. Every registered care provider in the UK can claim a free listing on Autumna. However, a paid subscription allows more information to be added and as a result a higher profile score. We think it’s important you have detailed, comprehensive information so that you can decide which care providers to shortlist.

We have built-in music systems to provide ambience and we dress our dining rooms in the evening. EAC sees itself, and this website, as one source of ‘housing options’ information and advice for older people and their families. But there are many other organisations providing valuable services, both locally and nationally. For 35 years EAC has provided a range of information and advice services to help older people think about their future, and how to ensure they can continue to live safely and well at home whatever changes and challenges ageing brings. Our hospitality team prides itself on making mealtimes a special, stimulating part of each day. In our homes, meals are as much about providing nutritious, tasty food as they are about enjoying a social occasion.
A popular feature on our site is the Entertainers’ Directory, which offers an advertising opportunity to entertainers who enjoy performing to older people in retirement housing, day centre and care home settings. Also known as Care & Repair agencies, are local non-profit organisations set up to help older people think about, plan, finance and organise work on their homes. These services tackle smaller repair jobs, including installing safety & security devices. Daily help, including personal care, is available on site and one or more meals are available daily in a dining room or restaurant. Additional facilities are also common – for example hairdressing salons, hobby rooms and gyms. Organised activities will focus on helping residents maintain their health and wellbeing.
The garden and patio area, which is looked after by some of the Residents, makes for a great setting to catch up with friends and family on a sunny day. Some care homes are registered to provide personal care only, for example help with washing, dressing and giving medication. Others also provide nursing, and will have a nurse on duty twenty-four hours a day. Within each of our care homes the Care Home Manager leads a team of care and support Colleagues with skills and experience relevant to their respective discipline.
Our extensively trained team will deliver all the nursing and specialist care and support services that your loved one requires. Our team of Care Assistants and Senior Care Assistants receive significant training and development in delivering the kindest possible personal care to Residents living with both general care and memory care needs. Their comprehensive learning and development programme enables them to explore a number of ongoing development opportunities so that they enjoy a long and rewarding career within our care homes. Wellbeing Coordinators work closely with our professional nursing and care teams to deliver meaningful lifestyles and a sense of wellbeing to Residents. Throughout the week wellbeing coordinators plan a range of activities that help Residents to maintain their hobbies, learn new hobbies and to have opportunities to engage with the local community. This site offers providers of services, accommodation and related advice a free opportunity to advertise what you do.
