Geriatric
Orme Lodge, a late Victorian
house which had been used by the Royal Air Force during WW2, was bought
by Middlesex County Council in 1946 for use as an old people's home.
The Lodge became part of the NHS in 1948. By 1971 it had become a geriatric subunit of Edgware General Hospital. It had 22 beds.
Following a reorganisation of the NHS it became part of the Central and North West London Mental Health Trust, who used the property as a Day Centre for the elderly and for the Harrow Learning Disability Clinic.
It closed in 2005.
