About Us
In October 1990, following the official opening by the Mayor of Lichfield, the first residents moved into what was described as a five-star luxury care home with family values.
Susan Angenent
Founder & Managing Director
In the late ’80s, while studying Social Care, I began questioning why shouldn’t living in a care home be a well-deserved enjoyable stage of life? Shouldn’t it be a time to socialise, active and nurture the spirit in a comfortable lifestyle? Shouldn’t a Resident be cared for as if they were family? The answer to all, was ‘Yes!’ And so, Rosemary Lodge was born and based on these values.
Today more than 30 years later, Rosemary Lodge remains in the same experienced hands. Many elderly ladies and gentlemen have resided happily in our home. It continues to enjoy a hard-earned reputation and is well supported by the local community and medical professionals. Our ethos and our standards remain consistent. Just as we take care of our Residents 24 hours a day, Rosemary Lodge does not stop in its efforts to evolve, improve and maintain its position as a leading luxurious care home.
Jane Evans
Registered Care Manager
I found my dream job in 2004 – by sheer chance! I was helping out at Rosemary Lodge as a “Girl Friday” and I immediately knew where I wanted to grow. I started at the bottom and worked my way up – through hard work, gaining hands-on experience, and studying to become a Registered Care Manager.
My years at the Lodge have been wonderful – there is something special in the aura of the home, and the energy and attitude of our team. Our Residents and their families feel it as much as I do. For me, it’s my second home and I am grateful to be the Mom of our happy family here.
Rebecca Davies
Business Administration Manager
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I joined Rosemary Lodge, but my goodness I was pleasantly surprised having only worked in a corporate environment, I was looking for a role that would be challenging but in a different way.
The Lodge certainly does that, there is a special feeling as soon as you walk through the doors such a family atmosphere and a happy, homely feeling. The aura around the home is peaceful and the warmth you receive from the residents just makes my job worthwhile.

Consultant Auditor of Services
One thing is certain at Rosemary Lodge –no two days are ever the same. It’s a great choice if you don’t want boring days.
A second thing is it is a friendly family home. This applies to Carers too. We work together to make a difference in the lives of those we care for.
There is little more rewarding than empowering our Residents to enjoy life.
My idea of a good day is finishing work, knowing I have put smiles on faces.
