About Gresham Lodge Care Home

Gresham Lodge Care Home is a residential home in Scunthorpe. We care for older people and younger adults, including many residents living with dementia, and we offer respite stays. Our work is everyday life supported well, with general practitioners, district nurses and other community professionals brought in when they are needed. Families often arrive having already spent a long time worrying, and the most useful thing we can do at that point is answer their questions straight, including the awkward ones. What happens if he will not get up. Can he bring his own chair. What do you do when someone is distressed at night. We would much rather have those conversations plainly at the beginning than paper over them and be found out later. Day to day the work is unremarkable and needs doing consistently. Unrushed help with washing and dressing. Medication given properly. Meals people actually want, with company at the table. Staff who notice when a resident is not themselves. For people living with dementia we keep staffing steady and the routine predictable, and we ask relatives for the details of a life that make conversation possible. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
