Our person centred approach and care policy extends to six basic values and as such our aim is to create a 'A Home For Living In'. These basic values are: Privacy, Dignity, Independence, Choice, Rights and Fulfilment. Twenty-four hour dedicated Service User care is provided and the care staff enable our Service Users to maintain their independence, rights and choices in order to live their lives to the full.
Elm Lodge provides residential care for people with dementia either long-term or on respite. Elm Lodge has a secure rear garden, which over looks allotments and views of Tapton. Our Service Users can sit out and enjoy the sunshine whilst observing people in their allotments or even join in the fun of planting new flowers.
Elm Lodge has excellent housekeeping staff who take pride in their work, ensuring that the Care Home is always clean and fresh. The Home provides a laundry service where we ask families for their assistance in naming clothing, to ensure that laundered items are returned washed and pressed immaculately, allowing our Service Users to take pride in their appearance.
Our Activities Co-ordinator ensures that each Service User enjoys an activities programme. The varied programme includes one-to-one and group activities, quizzes, reminiscence therapy and outings in the summer when the weather is better for our Service Users. The Activities Co-ordinator will sit with every new Service User and discuss their social interest.
Elm Lodge Care Home encourages all individuals that are interested in taking up residency to arrange a free visit, without obligation. Should the care home prove favourable, a detailed assessment can be completed by the management team to make sure that all the needs of the proposed Service User can be met whilst staying at Elm Lodge Care Home.
