About Brize Meadow Lodge
Brize Meadow Lodge is a care home in Carterton for older people, including those living with dementia. We provide residential care, help with the things that have become difficult, and company for people who had started to find home a lonely place. Support with washing, dressing, medication and mobility is given discreetly by staff who know how each person likes things done, and we write that down so it does not depend on who is on duty. For people living with dementia we keep the day familiar and unhurried. We ask families to tell us about the life behind the person, the work they did, the family they talk about and what calms them when they are anxious, and we use it in conversation rather than filing it away. Meals are cooked on the premises and we keep eating sociable and relaxed. Relatives are part of the household as far as we are concerned, and visiting is not something we ration. We would far rather be rung with a small worry than have somebody sit on it until it grows. Short respite stays are available, often for people getting their confidence back after a spell in hospital or to give a carer at home a proper rest. Please ring us if you would like to arrange a visit and see the place for yourself.
