About Ivy Care Stone Lodge
Ivy Care Stone Lodge is a residential care home in Pontefract. We support older people, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults, and we offer both permanent places and respite stays. Supporting that range of people well means being specific rather than general. For an older resident it may mean unhurried help with personal care, safe support with moving about, medication given properly and somebody nearby at night. For an adult with a learning disability or an autistic adult it may mean a predictable routine, clear information given in good time, and support to manage money, appointments and getting out to a job or a course. Where physical disability is part of the picture we think carefully about equipment, seating, transfers and access, and where sensory loss is involved, how we announce ourselves and give information matters enormously. We pay close attention to how each person communicates, and we record what we learn so that it survives a change of staff. Every plan is written with the individual and reviewed properly. We are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Please arrange to visit.
