About Whitefarm Lodge
Whitefarm Lodge is a nursing home in Twickenham. We provide qualified nursing care alongside daily support for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with a learning disability or who are autistic, people managing mental health conditions and people with a physical disability. Respite admissions are available for planned short stays. Nurses on duty mean that clinical needs are met in the place people live. Medication, wound and pressure area care, continence support, management of long term conditions and careful support at the end of life all happen here, alongside close working with visiting general practitioners, community teams and therapists. Nobody should have to move out of their home to have their health looked after properly. The rest of it is what turns nursing care into a home. Residents keep their own routines where we can support them, eat food they actually like at hours that suit them, fill their rooms with their own things and see visitors without any fuss being made. For people with dementia we hold the day steady and follow the person. For adults with a learning disability or who are autistic, we learn how each person communicates and what helps when the day becomes too much, and we write it down so that everybody follows it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at nursing care in this part of London, please come and see us on an ordinary day.
