Our Care Philosophy
As a care provider, we feel that it’s our duty to go above and beyond for our residents, family members and all those who help form a valuable part of our growing community.
With this in mind, we are committed to delivering:
A safe & secure, purpose-built home
Each of our Lodges is intelligently designed with specialised facilities to ensure all care services are met to a high standard, balanced with modern and homely furnishings to help you feel comfortable and safe in your new home.
A fun, fulfilling & enriching environment
We want everything we do in our lodges to be driven by the needs, abilities and aspirations of our residents. In order to do this, we make sure that we get to know all our residents and their loved ones personally – not just when they arrive, but consistently throughout their stay. By understanding our residents’ interests and stories, we are able to tailor their experience with us to be as fun, fulfilling and enriching as possible.
Nutritious & well-balanced meals
We understand the importance of a nutritious and well-balanced diet. Therefore we only use the finest seasonal produce available to make every meal the best it can be. Our menus are crafted with care and attention, tailored to residents’ preferences and cultural or dietary requirements.
A home you make your own
It is important to us that all of our residents feel completely at home with us and feel they have the right to make independent decisions about their lifestyles within our community. All residents are treated with dignity, compassion and with respect for their privacy and our staff appreciates that their place of work is our residents’ home.
We are always looking at ways to improve and we believe in supporting our team by creating an environment that encourages teamwork and innovative thinking as well as offering training and regular feedback at all levels.
Care and Support
We work alongside health and social care commissioners and agencies to help provide the most appropriate care and support for our residents’ health and well-being.
Our care teams will work as closely as possible with you, your loved ones and your medical team in order to create a care plan tailored specifically to you, which is reviewed on a regular basis. We want the care you receive to be as personal to you as possible so we strongly value you and your loved ones’ assistance in its development and review.
