Situated just minutes away from the beautiful and historical cathedral City of Lichfield, Rosemary Lodge, formally and affectionately remembered by locals as Boston House, was acquired in January 1990.
From that time forward, we aimed and continue to provide the latest, finest care and accommodation for the elderly; specifically, those who are not fully able to care for themselves at home, but not ready to give up their independence.
We value every individual who choose to make our home, theirs. We consider our Residents as family, and care for them with utmost respect and dignity.
