Arrange a visitThe story
Built around continuity, setting and personal familiarity
This page brings forward the details already present on the current site, but gives families a clearer route through why the home feels distinctive.
Grangewood Lodge was opened as a residential home in 1988 by Mr J F Fisher. His daughter Amelia Newstead took over as provider in July 2020, ensuring Grangewood remains a family-run business rather than part of a group or chain.
The home is the result of a skilful conversion of a Georgian period country lodge and adjoining coach house and stables, with further extensions added to provide 36 rooms.
Set in the National Forest and quiet countryside of South Derbyshire, the home stands within five acres of grounds and mature gardens close to Overseal, Netherseal and Lullington.
Care ethos
Respecting privacy, dignity and the resident's own way of living
