About Bonehill Lodge
Bonehill Lodge in Tamworth provides residential care for older people, including residents living with dementia, residents with a physical disability and residents with a visual or hearing impairment. We aim to be a comfortable, familiar sort of place where staff and residents know one another properly. The day is not run to a rigid timetable. People get up when they are ready, eat food cooked on the premises that is worth looking forward to, and spend their time in company or quietly as they prefer. Where someone has a sensory impairment, we pay attention to the details that matter. Saying who we are as we come into the room, explaining what is about to happen before we help, keeping belongings exactly where they were left, and making sure nobody is left out of what is going on around them. For residents living with dementia, we keep routines steady and our approach unhurried, and we spend real time learning a person's earlier life, since that is usually what allows us to settle someone who is anxious. Relatives are welcome at any reasonable hour and we encourage families to stay involved in decisions. We also offer respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
