About Marnel Lodge Care Home
Marnel Lodge Care Home is a nursing home in Basingstoke, providing nursing care for older people and younger adults across Hampshire, including many people living with dementia. Having qualified nurses on site at all hours is what allows us to look after people whose health needs are substantial and liable to change. Medication, wound care, careful attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and the close monitoring that catches deterioration early are the ordinary content of our days rather than exceptional events. For families worn down by a run of hospital admissions, the end of that cycle is usually the first change they notice. Dementia nursing is a large part of what we do. People living with advanced dementia are often assumed to have stopped noticing, and in our experience that is simply wrong. Tone of voice registers. Being rushed registers. A familiar face registers. So we protect continuity of staffing, we talk to people rather than about them, and we take the time to learn what soothes a particular person when they are frightened. We support younger adults as well as older people, and we try to remember that a younger person with nursing needs has a different idea of what a week should contain. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Visit at a busy time, speak to the nurses on duty, and ask how the difficult nights are handled rather than the easy afternoons.
