About Umika Lodge Care Home
We are Umika Lodge, a residential care home on Canvey Island. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We offer residential care rather than nursing care, and we make that clear to families from the outset so that nobody moves somewhere unable to meet their needs. Within that, we help with washing, dressing and moving about safely, support people with medication, provide proper meals and make sure nobody is left alone all day unless they prefer it. The home is run around the people in it. Nobody is woken to fit a rota, mealtimes bend around the person, and how the day is spent is a matter for the individual. Some want company from breakfast onwards and some want their own room and their own quiet. Dementia care here depends on knowing the person. We learn about the work somebody did, the family they raised and the routines that steady them, and we use that rather than correcting them about the present. Families are kept properly informed and are welcome to visit whenever suits them. We would always rather ring early about a small worry. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please get in touch to arrange a visit.
