About Cameron Lodge
Cameron Lodge is a residential care home in Deal, Kent, supporting adults with a range of needs, from older people who want help with daily living to adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. What connects the people living here is not a diagnosis but the wish to have their own life, run their own way, with support where it is genuinely useful. We also support people managing mental health conditions and people living with a physical disability. That breadth means our team is used to adapting how they communicate and how they offer help. Some people want a hand and a conversation, others want the task done quietly and the room left to them, and preferences change, so we keep asking. The home is sociable when people want it to be, with shared meals and the ordinary business of living together, but nobody is pushed into company they have not chosen. Rooms are personalised and relatives are welcome. Respite stays are available for people needing care for a short period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are considering a move, please come and visit, have a cup of tea and see whether the place feels right.
