About Abbeyfield Lodge
Abbeyfield Lodge is a care home in Fleet, Hampshire. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, including people managing a mental health condition, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Supporting somebody who has lived with a mental health condition for years asks for a different habit of mind from the one care homes often fall into. Most of the people who come to us have been dealing with their condition for a long time, have been told what to do by a good many professionals, and know a great deal about what helps them and what makes things harder. We start from what the person tells us, and we do not treat a difficult period as a reason to reconsider whether they should be here. The rest of it is ordinary living. People decide how their day runs, come and go, keep their own routines and have their own space to retreat to when company becomes too much. Staff are expected to be consistent, which for most of the people here counts for more than anything else. Respite stays are available for people who need somewhere for a short period, whether to give a carer a break or to get through a difficult patch. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering a placement locally, please come and see us.
