About Lakefields Neurological Centre
Lakefields Neurological Centre in Chigwell, Essex, provides nursing care for adults living with neurological conditions and physical disability, including younger adults, older people and people with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available. Our focus shapes everything here. Equipment, layout, moving and handling, and the time a routine actually takes when it is done properly rather than quickly. Being rushed is one of the most common complaints in care and for somebody who needs physical support it is also undignified, so we plan around the real time needed rather than the time that would suit a rota. Many of the people we support are younger adults who are living with the consequences of an injury or a progressive condition, and we take seriously the fact that a nursing home should not mean the end of an ordinary life. Getting out, keeping up with friends and interests, having privacy, deciding for yourself how the day goes. These are not extras. We also pay close attention to how people communicate, which is not always through speech, and we give the time needed to understand properly rather than assume. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and we are glad to be asked about our nursing cover, our training and how we handle concerns. If you are considering a placement or a respite stay with us, please come and visit and ask us whatever you need to know.
