About Stanley Lodge Residential Home
Stanley Lodge Residential Home is a care home in Forton, Lancashire, providing residential care for older people, including people living with dementia. We are a country home in a quiet spot, and the pace of the place reflects that. The help we offer is the everyday kind: support with washing and dressing, prompting and administering medication, meals cooked here, assistance with mobility, and somebody always around when a person wants them. What people take from us varies. Some are in the lounge from breakfast onwards, some prefer their own room with the door open, and neither preference gets any comment. For those living with dementia, we have found that the useful things are unglamorous. A steady routine, staff who do not change constantly, surroundings that make sense, and time to sit with someone rather than hurry them along. We plan around that rather than around activity timetables that look good on paper. Families are welcome whenever they want to come, and we would always rather hear a worry early. We also take people for short respite stays, which can cover a family holiday or a period of recovery after illness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us if you would like to look round.
