About Foxwood Lodge Residential Care Home
Foxwood Lodge Residential Care Home cares for older people and younger adults in Wakefield, including residents living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions and people with a physical disability. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. As a residential home our focus is on daily life supported properly, with community health professionals involved when someone needs them. What we aim for is a house where people are known rather than managed. That sounds obvious and it takes real discipline, because the pressures of a rota pull the other way. It means help with washing and dressing at a sensible pace, medication given reliably, food worth looking forward to and staff who have been here long enough to notice when a resident is quieter than usual. For people living with dementia we keep the routine predictable and the faces familiar, and we ask relatives for the details of a life that no assessment captures. Where someone has a physical disability we take trouble over how help is given, since being assisted clumsily is its own kind of loss. We have not yet been given an overall rating by the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather people came and saw the home than took our word for it.
