About The Lodge
The Lodge is a residential care home in Huddersfield, and the adults who live here are people with a learning disability, autistic people, and people whose mental health needs steady support day to day. Some have moved in for the long term and think of this as their address rather than a placement. Others come to us for respite, which might be a planned fortnight while a family carer takes a holiday, or a shorter stay at a point when things at home have become difficult. We try to run the house the way any household runs. People choose what happens in their own rooms, help with cooking and shopping where they want to, and keep up the routines, jobs, college courses and friendships that matter to them. Support is written down with the person, not about them, and we use whatever way of communicating works best for each individual rather than expecting everyone to speak up in the same way. Living alongside other people takes some getting used to, so we pay attention to who gets on with whom, and we give people space when they need it. Families and advocates are part of the conversation whenever the person wants them to be, and we would rather hear a concern early than find out about it later. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are thinking about The Lodge for yourself or someone you know, please come and see the house and meet the people living in it.
