Residential Care for the Elderly

Minchenden Lodge was originally built by the
Earl of Chandos and is featured in the ‘History
of Southgate’. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
stayed there when opening the Colney Hatch
Hospital and of later times Minchenden Lodge
was converted into a private hotel. It was
acquired and re-opened by Scimitar in 1973 as
a Care Hotel for 25 Residents and is about 3
minutes walk from Southgate Circus on the
Piccadilly tube line and is ideally situated for
local shopping and all amenities.

Being an older property and the first Care Hotel
established by Scimitar, there is a quite unique
character atmosphere of warmth and
homeliness in what may be described as a
forgotten corner of Southgate. This may appeal
more to those Residents not seeking a larger or
more expansive abode. There is single and
double room accommodation situated on ground
and first floor and some have ensuite facilities.

The Lounge, Dining Room, staff room and
kitchen are all situated within easy reach and
all the bedrooms are light and airy with a
homely atmosphere in keeping with the
character of the building.

There are no 'visiting hours' as Residents'
guests and families are welcomed at any time.
