Buckingham Lodge

Buckingham Lodge offers a warm, safe and friendly environment, with facilities to make you feel at home in our care.

Built to a modern specification and well decorated with tasteful interior design, Buckingham Lodge is an elegant and contemporary residential care home meticulously finished to a very high standard.

Our bright and spacious bedrooms provide luxurious personal space where residents feel safe and happy. Each bedroom has its own flat screen TV, DVD player, fridge, comfortable seating and lockable drawers. All of our residents, whatever their ability, also enjoy the privacy of modern en-suite bathrooms. We encourage residents to personalise their room with ornaments and photos to reflect their individual style and personality and to make it home from home. Large windows, and on the ground floor patio doors, enable residents to enjoy the landscaped gardens and local surroundings from their bedrooms.

Buckingham Lodge is purpose built with care in mind and offers a wide range of features and facilities designed with the very latest technology.

Our bedrooms combine all the comforts of home with carefully chosen assistive technology to provide an additional sense of security. Specially adapted lights and call systems enable our staff to immediately assist residents if needed, and help our residents feel safe at all times.

The assistive technologies we utilise are designed to maximise independence and enable carers to create a climate of freedom, dignity, choice and above all safety.

A range of design features help residents familiarise themselves with their new home as well as create a safe environment as they go about their day-to-day activities. Our spacious bedrooms are arranged along well lit, homely hallways that have been colour-coded and use signage that is both worded and pictorially illustrated, for easy recognition.

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.

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.
