About Oakwood Lodge
Oakwood Lodge is a residential care home in Ilford, in the London borough of Redbridge. We support older people, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults and people living with mental ill health, and we offer both permanent places and respite stays. Supporting that range of people well means being specific rather than general. For an older resident, including somebody living with dementia, it may mean unhurried help with personal care, a recognisable daily pattern and the same familiar staff around. For an adult with a learning disability or an autistic adult it may mean a predictable routine, clear information given in good time, and support to manage money, appointments and getting out to a job or a course. For somebody living with mental ill health it may mean a settled, low pressure place to live and close work with the community mental health team. Every plan is written with the individual and reviewed properly. Food is cooked here and, in a borough as varied as this one, we ask about tastes and about dietary and religious requirements rather than assuming. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit and see how the house runs.
