About Leigham Lodge
Leigham
Lodge is a newly commissioned unit for six people with learning disabilities
in the heart of the cosmopolitan area of Streatham, south London.
Opening in the autumn of 2003 the home will provide an exceptionally
high standard of care and it is proposed to cater for clients with
autistic spectrum disorders.
Leigham Court 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.
Leigham Lodge will provide holistic care to meet the needs of this
special client group with the accent on rights with responsibilities.
Staff will work closely with the local multi-disciplinary teams to
ensure that all aspects of care are addressed and provided for.
Leigham 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.
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.
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/physical
disability who require permanent residential care. The service is
needs-led and we carefully consider the viability of referrals in
relation to meeting a client’s needs. |
