About Willis Lodge Care Home

Willis Lodge Care Home is a residential care home in Nottingham. We support older people and younger adults with a wide span of needs, including residents living with dementia, residents with mental health needs, residents with visual or hearing impairment and people recovering from problems with alcohol or drugs. We also offer respite stays for shorter periods. Supporting such a mixed group of residents well means knowing each of them properly, so we plan support one person at a time rather than running the house on a single timetable. We help with personal care, meals, medication and appointments, and we support people to keep up the interests, activities and friendships that make a week feel like their own. Where someone manages something themselves, we protect that and stay nearby rather than taking over. Dementia care asks for familiarity and reassurance rather than correction, so we keep the day predictable and explain changes in advance. Mental health needs and recovery both ask for patience and for noticing a change early rather than waiting for a crisis, and we work alongside colleagues in local health teams where that helps. For residents with sensory loss we adapt how we communicate. Families are welcome whenever they wish to visit. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
