About Littleton Lodge
Littleton Lodge is a residential care home in Cannock, Staffordshire. We support older people, including those living with dementia and those living with mental ill health, and we also support people with visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Sensory impairment is something we give particular thought to, because it is so easily overlooked in a busy home. If someone cannot see well, furniture that gets moved and crockery that does not contrast with the table make life harder than it needs to be. If someone's hearing is poor, a noisy lounge can leave them isolated in a room full of people. We train staff to approach, speak and assist in ways that work for the person rather than expecting the person to adapt. For residents living with dementia, routine and familiarity do most of the heavy lifting. We keep staffing as consistent as we can, we learn people's histories, and we treat agitation as something with a cause rather than something to be quietened. Everyday life here is not elaborate. Decent food, a warm and clean home, people who know you, and help arriving before you have to ask twice. Residents and families tell us that is what they actually wanted. Respite is useful for recovery after hospital or to give a family carer a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to visit Littleton Lodge and see how we do things.
