We ensure that our person-centred assessments are all tailored to the individual person and we will look at what people can do, not just what they need assistance with.
Our on-site facilities include a hairdressing salon with a visiting stylist. Residents also benefit from regular visits from manicurists, beauticians, chiropodists and opticians.
Our care team is always around, providing as much or as little help as required, giving our residents and their families confidence and maintaining peace of mind.
Achieved outstanding in responsive.
Sydmar Lodge provides bespoke care and support for people over the age of 65. The home offers residential, respite and dementia care and is aimed primarily at people from the Jewish community. We provide personalised care based on people’s choices, needs and wishes.
When an older person moves out of their home it is a major decision and we understand this. We aim to meet residents’ needs by listening to their wishes.
We aim to empower residents to make their own choices about how they live their lives. We believe that every individual irrespective of their physical, social or psychological condition has the right to be treated with dignity and respect and supported to maintain choice and control over their own lives.
We understand that people bring with them a life story of achievements, events and life experiences. We know that this information is essential to ensure a tailored care package for each individual’s specific needs, particularly for those with memory loss.
