About Sycamore Lodge Care Home

Sycamore Lodge is a nursing home in Scunthorpe. We care for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily living, including people living with dementia. We also take respite bookings, whether to give a family carer a break or to support somebody recovering after a spell in hospital. Having nurses on site changes what can be managed here. Wound care, catheters, complicated medication and health that shifts from one day to the next are handled in the home rather than through repeated trips to hospital, which matters most at the point when somebody is worn out by being moved around. The nursing is only half of it. People here choose how their day runs, keep their own things around them, eat food they actually want and see their families whenever they like. Dementia care asks for consistency, so our staff learn the routines, the names and the times of day that are harder for each person. We speak plainly with relatives, particularly when health is changing, because a difficult conversation held early is kinder than a confusing one held late. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking at nursing or respite care in North Lincolnshire, please get in touch and come and see the home.
