About Poppy Lodge Care Home
Poppy Lodge Care Home in Westcliff on Sea provides residential care for older people, including many residents living with dementia. We are a home where staff and residents know each other properly, and nearly everything we do rests on that familiarity. The day is not run to a rigid timetable. People get up when they are ready, eat food cooked here that is worth looking forward to, and spend their time as they wish, whether that is in company in the lounge or quietly in their own room. Support with washing and dressing is given unhurriedly, because dignity is largely a matter of pace and manner. Dementia care asks for patience rather than correction. When someone is anxious, or looking for a person or place from an earlier part of their life, we respond to the feeling instead of arguing with the facts, and we work out what will genuinely settle them. Knowing a person's history helps enormously, so we gather it early from those who know them best. Families are part of the home. Visit when it suits you, share a meal, and tell us honestly when something is not right. We also offer respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
