About Norewood Lodge Care Home
At Norewood Lodge, a caring team of professionals ensure exceptional care and support is provided to residents on an individual basis for short or long term needs. The home provides a range of care plans to anyone over 50 including residential, nursing, palliative and convalescence care.
Situated close to the coast not far from the seaside town of Clevedon, the home boasts wonderful views of the Bristol Channel and the hills of Wales. The property has large gardens for residents to enjoy, while a modern interior offers residents comfortable accommodation. All bedrooms are en suite and some have views of the pretty gardens.

Residents can continue their passions and hobbies within the home setting, or even take part in new groups for reading, gardening, painting or cookery that take place throughout the year at the home. Residents can also benefit from an onsite salon and visiting mobile library.
