About Elm Lodge Care Home
Elm Lodge is a residential care home in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. We are home to older people and to younger adults who need support with everyday life, and a large part of our work is caring for people living with dementia. The support we give is residential rather than nursing. Staff are on duty day and night to help with personal care, dressing, medication and meals, and to keep the household running, while local doctors and district nurses look after clinical needs. For a great many people that is the right level of support, and it takes far less from their independence than a hospital or nursing setting would. Dementia care here comes down to consistency and to knowing the person. A day that runs in a familiar order, the same faces turning up, and surroundings that are easy to make sense of will settle somebody more surely than anything else. We take time to learn about a person's working life, their family and their habits, because that is what allows us to understand them when words become difficult. We also support younger adults who need residential care, and we plan around the fact that they are not looking for the same week as someone forty years older. Respite and short stays are available. Please ring us if you would like to look round Elm Lodge.
