About Cherry Lodge Rest Home
Cherry Lodge Rest Home in Caterham is a residential care home for older people who need help with daily living. We support people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays. A good deal of our work lies in details that are easy to overlook. A room arranged so that somebody can manage it themselves. Lighting, contrast and clear signs that make sense to a person with poor vision or with dementia. A hearing aid that has been checked and is actually working, because a conversation somebody cannot follow is worse than no conversation at all. Equipment within reach, so that moving about does not mean waiting for help. None of it is dramatic and all of it decides whether a day goes well. Beyond that we try to keep life ordinary. People choose their own routines, keep their own things around them, eat food cooked here with real choice, and have company or quiet as they prefer. With dementia we depend on knowing somebody well, so we gather a person's history with their family and keep adding to it, and we keep the shape of the day predictable because that helps more than anything else we could organise. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall. Anyone thinking about a move is welcome to visit and talk to the people who live here.
