About Acacia Lodge
Here at Acacia Lodge, we provide residential care for a wide range of people in the heart of Barnet, London. Our team supports older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also support those dealing with alcohol or drug misuse, and we offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether that is to give a family carer a break or to help someone recover and regain confidence. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person and their family will ever make, and we do not take that lightly. Our focus is on getting to know each person as an individual, understanding their history, their preferences, and what matters most to them in day to day life. Care plans are built around the person, not the other way around. Our most recent CQC inspection resulted in an overall rating of requires improvement, and we want to be straightforward about that. We have taken the feedback seriously and have been working steadily through the areas identified, making practical changes to the way we operate. We believe in being open with the people we support and their families, and that includes being honest about where we are on our journey and what we are doing about it. We welcome anyone who would like to come and see the home for themselves. Visiting in person gives a far truer sense of the atmosphere and the team here than any written description can. If you have questions about whether Acacia Lodge could be the right fit for you or your loved one, please do get in touch. We are always happy to have a straightforward conversation.
