About Castle Lodge Care Home
Castle Lodge Care Home is a residential care home in Warminster, Wiltshire, providing care for older people, including people living with dementia, along with shorter respite stays. We run the home at the pace of the people in it. Breakfast happens when somebody wakes rather than when a trolley comes round, and the day takes the shape a person wants. The care covers help with washing and dressing, medication, meals cooked here, support with mobility, and somebody always around when a person needs them. For those living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the faces familiar, and we arrange the house so that it is easy to understand and to move about in. We take the view that behaviour is nearly always communication, and the useful question is what somebody is trying to tell us rather than how to stop it. Warminster is home for most of the people living here, and family and friends are welcome whenever they wish to come. Respite can cover a family holiday or a period of recovery after illness. Please ring us if you would like to come and look round.
