Welcome to Oak Lodge Care Home in Bitterne, Southampton

Our stylish, modern home is situated in the peaceful residential area of Bitterne, overlooking Freemantle Common and close to local amenities. You'll find us surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens, with a seated patio area and tranquil sensory garden.

Our highly trained team of care assistants and registered nurses take time to get to know all our residents, regardless of the length of their stay. We tailor the care we provide to suit each person's individual needs. We want our residents to lead as full and active a life as possible in a safe and welcoming environment.


In addition to person centred care, we provide nursing staff to support residents who require qualified nursing care.

    Depending on its size, new residents are welcome to bring furniture to their new room. Many of our residents bring a favourite armchair or pictures and other small belongings to personalise their room.

    This depends on availability of rooms in the home, understanding the cost of care and the person moving in receiving a care assessment.
