About Oak Tree Lodge
Oak Tree Lodge is a residential care home in Southampton, Hampshire. We support older people who need help with the ordinary business of the day, and a good number of the people living with us have dementia. Some have come to us with a mental health condition they have managed for many years, and we are used to that too. Supporting someone with dementia well is mostly a matter of attention. It means knowing that one resident settles if the kitchen radio is on and another finds it unbearable, that late afternoon is harder than the morning for most people, and that a question asked for the fifth time is still worth answering properly. We keep the layout of the home easy to read, we keep familiar objects where people expect to find them, and we do not rush anybody through a meal or a wash. Families are part of this rather than visitors to it. You know what your mother did for a living, which hymn she sang, whether she took sugar. All of that is useful to us, and we ask for it. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places, so if you are caring for someone at home and need a fortnight to recover, come and talk to us. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. The most honest thing we can offer beyond that rating is an invitation to arrive unannounced and see the home on an ordinary day.
