The Lodge - Dementia Care with Nursing

This residential care home provides nursing and personal care to up to 96 people, currently supporting 85 residents who are older adults, many living with dementia and some with mental health needs. The home is clean and comfortable with sufficient staffing to meet residents' needs. People are protected from abuse and the service has systems in place to prevent repeated mistakes.

Staff support residents to take their medicines, though improvements are needed to ensure this is managed safely. The home has been recommended to develop specific guidance for staff regarding certain care interventions to strengthen practice further.
