DESCRIPTION

Situated within several acres of private land, Ladyville Lodge, is our purpose built Home where we provide a high standard of care day and night. Our Residents have varying needs from specialist Nursing support to general assistance with everyday living. Some stay with us on a permanent basis whilst others stay for short periods of time.

We offer Residential and Nursing care as well as Respite care to give home carers a much needed break. We also provide End of Life care at a time when Residents and their families need specialist help and support.

We are very proud of our homely and welcoming atmosphere. We would be delighted to show you around so that you can experience it for yourself.

Our Residents can pursue their hobbies in our communal and quiet lounges. They watch television, perhaps listen to music or have some reading time. Our mature gardens boast flower beds and a patio area where Residents enjoy the stunning views. We also have a courtyard at the centre of our Home where many Residents enjoy their lunch in the open air. All of these areas are used for relaxing, socialising and are great places to invite friends and families when they visit.

THE CARE

Thanks to our dedicated Activities Co-ordinator we have a full and varied activities calendar with events planned throughout the year. We often have professional entertainers to perform for our Residents and organise trips to local places of interest including the library, Southend-on-Sea or lunch at one of the local restaurants.

We arrange special meal nights when we invite relatives and friends to come along.

We have highly nutritious and varied menus and cater for all dietary and cultural needs. All of our food is prepared using fresh ingredients every day in our kitchens. Our dining rooms are warm and welcoming. The tables are laid with fresh flowers and linen and our menus are displayed to show the choices available. Snacks, fresh fruit and refreshments are provided 24 hours a day.

Residents can choose to have their meals in their own room or in our dining room depending on how they feel. We encourage friends and family to join us for meals or afternoon tea anytime.

Our Sunday lunch is particularly popular with Residents and their families.
