About Astral Lodge Residential Home
Astral Lodge is a residential home in Westcliff on Sea providing care for older people, including those living with dementia. Coming into a care home is a big step and most people arrive having lost something, whether that is a partner, their mobility or their confidence. We try to give some of it back. That starts with knowing who somebody is rather than just what they need, so we ask about their history, their family and the things they have always enjoyed, and we use that to shape their days. Our staff help with personal care, with getting about safely, with medication and with meals and drinks. Where dementia is part of the picture we keep routines steady and surroundings familiar, and we work on the principle that behaviour is communication rather than something to be corrected. The home is a place people live in properly. Belongings come with them, visitors come and go, and there is activity in the day for those who want it and quiet for those who do not. Meals are cooked here and choice is real. We also take people for respite stays, whether to give a carer a break or to help somebody get back on their feet after illness. If you would like to look round, telephone us and we will arrange a time to suit you.
