About Tudor Lodge
Tudor Lodge is a residential care home in Burnham on Sea. The people who live here are older adults who have reached a point where managing at home had become difficult, unsafe or simply too solitary. Some move in for good, and some come for respite, whether that is a planned break for a family carer, a few weeks of recovery after illness, or a trial stay for somebody still making up their mind. We aim for ordinary life with the hard parts looked after. Help with washing, dressing and medication given quietly and at the pace of the person, not the rota. Meals cooked here and eaten without hurry. Company in the lounge for anybody who wants it and no obligation for anybody who would rather sit with the paper or watch the weather come in off the water. A care home works when it holds on to who somebody was before they arrived. We ask about the jobs people did, the towns they came from, the music they still like, the habits they intend to keep, and we build the day around those things. Relatives are welcome when it suits them, and we would much rather hear a small worry straight away than a large one months later. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Tudor Lodge for yourself or for a relative, come and see us on a normal day and ask us anything you like.
