Gresham Lodge Care Home

Placing your loved one “into care” is one of the most difficult decisions that you will ever make, especially if it is set to be a permanent decision. When a loved one is suffering from dementia emotions can run very high, and you may well be questioning yourself on what the best course of action should be.

As well as considering your own feelings, the transition into a care home that your loved one will have to experience may also be quite difficult, even though it's highly likely that it will be the best thing for them. They may be confused at their new surroundings and worried by unfamiliar faces. They could also be anxious about what the food will be like, will they make any friends and if they will have the same amount of privacy that they are accustomed to.

If you're looking after an elderly loved one who is living with dementia is can be very tiring, especially if you have to care for them all day every day. And when you're fully engrossed in caring it's easy to forget that the situation is not ideal for your loved one either.

Our specialist day care service gives you the chance to take a much-needed break but it's also great for your loved one.

The standard day is from 10 am to 4 pm and includes lunch with our community of full-time resident and day care visitors and all the activities we lay on. However, we want to help you as much as possible with your exact needs so earlier or later times can be arranged as can bathing, hairdressing, trips or any other special requirements. Just tell us what you need and we'll put a package together for you.
