Primrose Lodge

About Primrose Lodge
Situated in the lively and attractive coastal town of Dover, Primrose Lodge is a purpose-built resource for school leavers and young adults with learning disabilities.

The unit, which opened in spring 2004, offers eight bedrooms, including an integral two-bedroom flat. All rooms are en-suite and furnished to a very high standard. The lounges, day rooms, bedrooms and kitchens are wheelchairaccessible, as is the large boundaried garden.

The unit is close to local amenities and service users are encouraged and supported to access all community provisions.

The home provides individualised care packages that are designed after full consultation with the service users.

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.

Staffing levels are needs led with the care team working closely with care managers, carers, relatives and other members of the multi-disciplinary team to provide tailored, holistic care programmes to address the physical, social and psychological needs of the service users.
