About K Lodge
K Lodge is a residential care home in Rushden in North Northamptonshire. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available. The people living here have genuinely different needs, so we plan support one person at a time and mean it. What settles somebody with dementia is not what gives an adult with a learning disability confidence, and running one routine across both would suit neither. So we spend our attention on particulars: how somebody likes to be addressed, what they can do themselves and would rather we left alone, what makes a difficult day and what heads it off early. Where a physical disability or sensory loss affects how somebody gets about, we design around the person rather than expecting them to accommodate the building. Small habits carry a lot of weight: saying who you are as you come into a room, leaving furniture exactly where it lives, checking that glasses and hearing aids are working. Understanding how each person communicates is central, especially where speech is not the main route, and what we learn is written down so that everybody responds the same way. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection.
