Buckingham Lodge - Accommodation

At Buckingham Lodge we make the most of meal times.
Anchor has won national recognition for the quality of its food and catering service. And with dining areas on each floor, you don’t have far to go to enjoy each mealtime.

Our highly skilled chefs use seasonal ingredients to create a care home menu of freshly cooked, appetising and nutritionally balanced food with a different choice every day.

Residents are consulted on a regular basis to ensure the catering team get to know and understand food preferences, as well as individual nutritional requirements, are able to ensure people with specific dietary needs have the correct foods offered to them and all residents enjoy the meals served.

We know how important mealtimes are to residents and the staff in our home are committed to making them an enjoyable part of each day.

We understand the importance of ambience and ensure that our décor helps to stimulate appetitie and creates an enjoyable atmosphere. We also recognise that mealtimes are a great opportunity for social interaction and involvement. At Buckingham Lodge visitors are welcome at any time and can join you at mealtimes.

There are also many opportunities for residents to cook and prepare meals so that they can feel part of the running of their home and can carry our familiar activities.

Buckingham Lodge - Dining

With social events in the home and the community, arranged in collaboration with residents, you can make your life at Buckingham Lodge a hive of activity or as gentle as you wish.

We understand that the activities people carry out in their free time are often the things that they most look forward to and enjoy. Our hobbies and interests are individual to us, they shape the person we are and help to paint a picture of the way we like to live our lives.

Buckingham Lodge’s first class facilities are complemented by a line-up of meaningful activities that make a big difference to our residents. Activities, interests and ability are discussed when you move in and a stimulating events and activities calendar is organised to match individual residents’ interests and needs. We encourage a variety of hobbies and work in partnership with the National Association for Providers of Activities for Older People (NAPA) to ensure our range of activities enhance residents’ lifestyle, health and sense of wellbeing.

We know how important it is to maintain close bonds with the people in your life. At Buckingham Lodge, your visitors are always welcome at any time, including mealtimes. We also encourage you to maintain links with the wider community and can help organise regular outings to local social activities and groups.

Buckingham Lodge - Activities

Health

Because each of us is unique, we encourage you to choose how your care is planned and delivered at Buckingham Lodge. We work closely with you and your family, to build a personal picture of your needs. Little things can make a big difference, so we always strive to understand what is important to you. We call it person centred care because it’s built around you or your loved one and their preferences. It’s there to help you settle in really quickly, with regular reviews to keep things up-to-date.

We appreciate the wide and varied aspects that contribute to our residents’ wellbeing. Our holistic approach to residential care encompasses the physical needs of each resident, as well as their emotional and psychological wellbeing. We understand that moving into a care home is a big decision undertaken for many reasons. Some people may simply feel lonely and isolated and want to move into a community to make new friends and feel safe and secure. Others may be physically frail and no longer able to remain at home for safety reasons. Our focus on personally tailored care, including dementia care, enables us to support residents to live a full life, feel truly at home at Buckingham Lodge and maintain their independence, whatever their needs.

Dedicated staff ensure care, support and understanding is tailored to your exact needs. They will ensure that you continue to enjoy maximum independence and 24-hour peace of mind, knowing that all the help and assistance you might need is always at hand.
All carers employed by Anchor are given intensive training and are required to complete NVQ qualifications and a range of in-house courses to assure you of the best possible care.

Arthritis, stroke, Parkinson’s and Osteoporosis, are all conditions that we may suffer from as we age; at Buckingham Lodge we know how important it is to care for our residents with the dignity and respect they deserve. To achieve this we have made partnerships with a range of health and social care specialists. Buckingham Lodge can organise visits from a GP, district nurse, physiotherapist, chiropodist or holistic therapist, as well as arrange visits to the dentist and optician as needed.

We provide high quality care and support for residents living with dementia by treating them as individuals. At Buckingham Lodge we recognise the symptoms of dementia and accommodate them in our approach, we look for opportunities to build on the individual’s strengths and find ways to compensate for the losses brought about by the illness to ensure the best quality of life. By responding to the individual and supporting what they can do with a personalised dementia care plan, our approach respects the uniqueness of each person rather than focusing on the diagnosis of dementia. All of our employees are trained and supported by our dedicated dementia team to ensure residents feel valued and able to live life to the full and are also ever ready to offer support to family and friends by providing access to information and advice about living well with dementia.

We also offer respite care at Buckingham Lodge so if you are thinking about going away, but worried about your loved one we can offer a helping hand.
