About Wyvern Lodge
Wyvern Lodge is a residential care home in Weston Super Mare. We support adults living with mental health conditions, and we offer respite stays. Our approach is recovery focused, which in practice means we assume people can move forward and we build support around what somebody wants their life to look like rather than around managing them. For some residents that leads to independent living. For others it means stability, routine and somewhere that is genuinely theirs for as long as they need it. Both are valid, and we do not push anybody towards either. Staff here are available without being intrusive. Residents come and go, cook for themselves where they want to, look after their own medication where that is safe, and take part in running the house. We hold regular residents meetings and act on what comes out of them rather than minuting it and moving on. We work closely with community mental health teams, care coordinators and GPs, and with families where people want them involved. Consistency between us and those teams matters more than almost anything, so we stay in regular contact rather than speaking only at reviews. Respite stays here are properly planned. People visit beforehand, meet staff and see their room, so that arriving is not a shock on top of whatever prompted the stay. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and see how the house runs.
