About Benjamin Lodge

Benjamin Lodge is a residential care home in Hull providing a home for adults living with mental health conditions. Stability is what we offer first. Most people arrive after a period in which very little has been settled, and a predictable place with familiar staff and a routine that does not change without warning does more good in the early weeks than anything else. Everybody has their own room and their own way of going about the day. Staff are here at every hour to help with practical matters, to prompt and support with medication and to talk when that is what is needed. We work closely with the mental health professionals involved in each person's care so that the approach stays consistent rather than shifting from one month to the next. Much of what we do is deliberately ordinary, because ordinary things are what rebuild confidence. Cooking, shopping, looking after your own room, managing money, keeping appointments and getting out into Hull are all things we do alongside people rather than for them. Progress is uneven and we do not treat a bad week as a failure. Respite stays can be arranged where they are appropriate. If you are looking for a placement for yourself or for somebody you support, please get in touch and come and see us.
