Responsive, secure and safe are just a few of the keywords that describe life at Woodlands Lodge.
The purpose-built facilities matched with specialist, professional care ensure residents living with dementia can enjoy life to the fullest in an environment where they can live independently with assistance as and when they need it.
Whether residents need minimal support with personal care and help with mobility or greater levels of support, the team at Woodlands Lodge pride themselves on adapting their care services to match residents’ needs, providing a truly person-centred approach to dementia care.
It is important that residents can live well with their cognitive impairments, so we have carefully incorporated design elements into the Lodge’s features to ensure a relaxing, home-from-home feel is created for all.
Certain areas have been given designated colours paired with easily identifiable signage to help residents familiarise themselves throughout the Lodge.
At Woodlands Lodge, we actively support the development of social skills and the independence of our residents by providing a community where they can strengthen their skills with others who require similar levels of care.
When moving into the Lodge, our teams ensure that residents and their families are guided through each step of the process to facilitate a smooth, seamless transition into their new home.
Great compassion is shown when getting to know each resident. Our expert carers take the time to really gain insight into residents’ passions, interests and fond family memories to make sure that one-to-one tailored care is matched perfectly to their needs and levels of support required.
Woodlands Lodge is known for its welcoming and friendly atmosphere which has been made more homely by incorporating residents’ personal photographs and momentos all around the Lodge. These simple touches contribute towards alleviating symptoms of dementia such as agitation, depression and anxiety as well as helping to prompt conversations of happy memories between residents.
With the importance of keeping on top of mental and physical wellbeing, our in-house Activities and Wellbeing Team work hard to encourage residents to take part in a full range of meaningful and stimulating activities that are shaped to suit each individual’s abilities and preferences.
Our residential care is designed for residents who have chosen to live within a care community to benefit from a wide range of support, companionship and a variety of engaging activities.
