Scimitar Care Hotels PLC owns Minchenden Lodge. The company owns a number of other homes in the North London area. Minchenden Lodge is a long established home in a residential part of Southgate.


There is easy access to public transport and shops. The home now has twenty-one single rooms and no longer has double rooms.
The home is registered to care for twenty-five older people but this is no longer relevant given the new changes to the double rooms.

The home has a condition on the registration that allows the home to admit up to four people with a diagnosis of dementia. The home aims to provide personal care only for older people.
The aim of the home is to deliver good quality care in comfortable surroundings ensuring that service users needs are met as individually as possible.
