About Market Lodge
Market Lodge is a nursing home in Ledbury, Herefordshire, providing nursing care for older people and younger adults, including people with learning disabilities and autism, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Combining qualified nursing with the support somebody with a learning disability or a mental health condition needs is a particular skill, and it is easy to get half right. A place can be clinically safe and still treat people as patients rather than adults, or warm and homely while missing health problems that people who communicate differently often cannot report for themselves. We try to hold both. Our nursing team manages medication, mobility, nutrition and the physical health conditions that go under recognised in this group, working closely with GPs, therapists and specialist services. Alongside that runs the ordinary business of life, planned with each person and communicated in the way that works for them. Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
