Care we provide
Care is planned around each person: their routines, their history and what matters to them. Not sure which kind of care is right? Call us and we'll help you work it out.
- Residential care
- Day-to-day help with washing, dressing, medication and meals, for people who can no longer manage safely at home.
- Dementia care
- Patient, person-centred support for people living with dementia, in a home small enough for staff to know each resident's routines and life story.
- Respite care
- Short stays while a family carer takes a break, or after a spell in hospital while you work out what comes next.
- Physical disability
- Support and accessible rooms for people with physical disabilities, so they can keep as much independence as possible.
- Sight and hearing loss
- Round-the-clock support for people with sensory impairments, so the home feels familiar and safe.
- End of life care
- Comfortable, dignified palliative care in a homely setting, with support for families too.
Life at Grafton Lodge
Days are shaped around the people who live here: painting and crafts, baking, birthdays, visits from family and time in the garden.
