About Haslington Lodge Care Home
Haslington Lodge Care Home is a residential care home in Greenhithe, Kent, offering older people a comfortable place to live with support always close at hand. We aim to run as a household rather than an institution, and the day belongs to the people living it. Supporting residents living with dementia is a substantial part of our work. We approach it by learning who somebody is, keeping routines familiar and the day unhurried, giving notice before anything changes, and looking for the cause when a resident is unsettled rather than treating it as behaviour to be contained. Our team helps with personal care, medication, mobility and meals, and equally with the things that make a day worth having: conversation, company for those who want it, peace for those who do not, and fresh air whenever the weather allows. Rooms are personalised and relatives are welcome whenever they can come. Respite stays are available for people needing care for a short period, which some families use as a break and others as a first step. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are looking at care homes in this part of Kent, please come and see us on an ordinary day.
