Our residential care is designed for residents who require minimal personal care and have made the choice to live within a care home community.
Rather than being isolated in their own homes, they can benefit from a wide range of support and companionship.
Abbey Wood Lodge is uniquely placed to meet a wide range of needs for both short and long term care.
From help with dressing and daily living activities to regular meals and easy access to visiting external professionals such as GPs, residents benefit from a safe, secure and welcoming environment with friendly, versatile care should they need it.
Our 24-hour care incorporates a wide range of expertise and capabilities, catering to varying levels of needs, from those who require minimal personal care and help with mobility to those who need greater support.
Our dedicated team of highly trained professionals work to deliver tailored support to each individual, getting to know each resident and their loved ones to deliver person-centered care whilst respecting privacy, dignity and safety.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy their lives exactly as they did when they lived at home through activities in the local community and within the Lodge.
It’s our aim to deliver a fun, vibrant and engaging environment to all who live in an Athena lodge.
Why not hear about Jason’s experience, and how he came to live in his new home:
We offer respite care for residents requiring Residential Care Services for a temporary stay of up to 4-week, subject to assessment.
Whether you’re going on holiday, taking care of other commitments or your loved one needs extra help after illness or a hospital stay, we’re here to provide a smooth transition into care along with a safe, comfortable and homely environment. It is important that everyone takes time to recharge and rejuvenate every now and again for their own health and well-being. Respite care allows caregivers to do this whilst having peace of mind that their loved one is safe and being well cared for.
Respite care can provide a number of benefits for both carers and their loved ones as 24-hour support is provided to all those who come to our Lodges. With engaging activities each day, residents are able to benefit from compassionate care, fun-filled days and the opportunity to build relationships with new friends – much like a holiday of their own!
The Lodge caters to a variety of needs, creating a tailored care plan dependent on each individual’s needs and length of stay which can be up to 4 weeks. Residents staying at the Lodge for a short stay have full access to all the exceptional facilities, freshly cooked meals in our dining experience and regular visits with friends and family.
We understand that making the move into a care home is challenging, but respite care allows residents, their families and carers to trial living in a care setting before committing to permanent residency. It is often found that the transition into care is made easier once residents have already experienced life at the Lodge including the care practices, facilities and fellow residents. We are able to facilitate respite to permanent stays as well as multiple or regular respite stays if required.
Abbey Wood Lodge provides a safe, secure and responsive environment for those living with dementia. Our team of highly-qualified professionals deliver specialist care and support services within a purpose-built facility, offering a smooth transition for those in need of high-quality dementia care. As people’s needs change, we adapt to meet residents’ requirements.
