About Shedfield Lodge
Shedfield Lodge is a residential care home near Southampton, in Hampshire. We look after older people and younger adults, people living with dementia and adults managing mental ill health, and we take respite bookings for people who need a stay of a few weeks. We keep things homely and unhurried. People get up when they want to, eat what they actually like, keep their own belongings around them and spend their days as suits them, whether that is joining in with what is going on or sitting somewhere quiet with the paper. Our staff know the people here, which means they can tell the difference between somebody having a quiet day and somebody becoming unwell. Supporting people living with dementia and people with mental health needs under one roof takes care and consistency. We give staff proper training, keep routines steady, and pay attention to what unsettles individuals rather than applying one approach to everybody. Where somebody's needs change, we involve their GP and the local community teams early rather than waiting for a crisis. Relatives are welcome whenever suits them and are part of how decisions get made. We would much rather be told plainly when something has slipped than discover it at a formal review. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please ring if you would like to look round.
