Types of Care
Here at Wisteria Lodge we offer a wide range of care to suit you, no matter what your needs. Please see a breakdown of our care services: Nursing Care, Day Care, Caring Like Family & Dementia Care.
From the moment you arrive, you will appreciate what really makes Wisteria Lodge special.
People who come to us for nursing care may be living with long-term conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or motor neurone disease; others may have suffered a stroke and require intensive rehabilitative care. Many people, as is often the case with older people, will have additional health problems such as dementia or restricted mobility.
Every one of our residents receives a warm person-centric approach to their care in a comfortable, safe, homely environment. A clinical expert runs our compassionate registered nursing team. Together with GPs they care for residents’ varying medical needs to maximise their independence and fulfilment of daily life. The team works closely with family members to assess the level of care required and to draw up a personal care plan, which respects individual needs and wishes and treats residents with the dignity and kindness they so richly deserve.
For our staff, care is not a career choice, it is part of our nature. We know it is the little things that can make all the difference – like always having time for a chat, knowing the names of your children and grandchildren, and never forgetting a birthday or anniversary. Our uniquely styled homes offers security, independence and round-the-clock personal support for those with a condition that requires frequent specialist care.
Our individual care plans help to ensure the precise needs of every single resident are recorded – everything from the meals they enjoy, hobbies they love and their personal routines. These plans also cover specialist care requirements and dietary needs, guaranteeing our team can contribute directly to each unique resident’s happiness and health.
We offer a complimentary hand massage, manicure, reflexology for overall well-being and health.
Within our luxurious home there are facilities and spaces where every single detail is designed to provide security, independence and, fundamentally, make life more fulfilling for people living with dementia. Our commitment to quality runs seamlessly, from the beautifully appointed en-suite rooms, to our delicious meals and wide variety of engaging activities, we put residents’ individual needs at the heart of all we do.
Our friendly team of compassionate carers understands the different stages and types of the condition and their extensive experience ensures the continuity and consistency that is so vital to people with dementia. Every one of our residents receives a warm person-centric approach to their care, which is based on respecting their individual needs and wishes and treating them with the dignity and kindness they so richly deserve. Our carers love nothing more than chatting over a cup of tea, reminiscing through old photo albums and getting to know residents’ likes, dislikes and habits.

Our day care facility is now open from Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm.
Wisteria Lodge has a dedicated day care team, managed by Heather which provides personalised daytime care for older people who are living in their own homes who need help with daily living or are needing companionship, TLC or perhaps recovering after an illness or accident. We provide warm and friendly professional care services and plenty of optional activities whilst promoting health and nutrition with home cooked meals and refreshments. Our day care activities also provide opportunities for older people to contribute as well as receive by sharing their own expertise in hobbies such as poetry, gardening and painting.
