About Coastal Lodge

Coastal Lodge is a residential care home in Bournemouth supporting a broad mix of adults. Some of the people who live here are older, including those living with dementia. Others are younger adults living with mental health conditions, physical disabilities or sight and hearing loss. We also support people living with eating disorders and people affected by alcohol or drug misuse. That range means there is no single way of doing this work, and we would be suspicious of anybody who claimed otherwise. What we do have is a consistent approach. We ask before we assume. We plan around the person rather than the category. We treat a difficult period as something to get through together rather than as a failure of a placement. Where clinical teams are involved, we work with them rather than around them. People here make their own choices about their rooms, their time and who is part of their lives, and our part is to make those choices workable. Respite stays are available as well, which can give a family carer a genuine break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and see how the home actually runs.
