| Kirkstall Lodge About Kirkstall Lodge  Kirkstall Lodge is a newly commissioned unit for six people with learning disabilities who have complex needs. The home is situated in the heart of the cosmopolitan area of Streatham, south London. Opened in the autumn of 2003 the home provides an exceptionally high standard of care and it is proposed to cater for service users with autistic spectrum disorders. Kirkstall Lodge offers single room accommodation with several bedrooms having en-suite facilities. The home is set in an attractive part of the very vibrant suburb of Streatham with all its facilities and amenities. Kirkstall Lodge will provide holistic care to meet the needs of this special service users group with the accent on rights with responsibilities. Staff will work closely with the local multidisciplinary teams to ensure that all aspects of care are addressed and provided for. Kirkstall Lodge is a large house based in an enviable position of this developing community. As would be expected all aspects of community resources can be accessed very closely from the unit. The area has excellent rail and road links to all parts of the country with the local station within easy reach of the unit. Development and training Staff development and training is prioritised as an integral part of the provision. As well as a commitment to the nationally recognised NVQ and Investors in People, we regularly commission training in areas such as Health and Safety, Food Hygiene, First Aid, Sexuality Training and Awareness, Risk Assessment, Control and Restraint.  Our staff are required to carry out tasks including all aspects of care and record keeping to the highest specification. We are justifiably proud of the high morale and low turnover among our staff. We have built up an excellent reputation as a quality provider of residential care for adults with a learning disability who may also display challenging behaviour. Registration reports, which are all available for review, emphasise the high standard of care, physical surroundings and professionalism of the home. We welcome referrals on behalf of adults with a learning disability who require residential care. The service is needs led and we carefully consider the viability of referrals in relation to meeting a client’s needs. Accentuating ability  Working individually with clients in providing unconditional supervision, support and choice, we achieve and maintain a highly professional standard of care in an environment which encourages residents and employees to flourish. Beacon Care embraces a philosophy of accentuating ability and residents are supported in developing self-help and daily living skills to increase their independence. |
