About Victoria Lodge
Victoria
Lodge is a six bedded unit that provides care for service users with
autism, aspergers syndrome and other complex needs.
Victoria Lodge is a spacious, well proportioned unit, with safe gardens,
close to the seafront in the coastal resort of Bognor Regis.
Recently modernised, the home is well presented throughout and respects
the complex needs of this particular group of service users. A fully
equipped activity room and separate music room are available within
the home. A broad range of activities are provided, including horticulture
and the ability for clients to be involved in personalising their
living spaces.
Victoria Lodge provides a service of meaningful day care with an emphasis
on independent living utilising local services provided. Each client
receives a personalised day care programme offering a wide range of
activities – both educational and recreational – within
the home and throughout the community.
The home focuses on the individual needs of the service users to enable
them to achieve social acceptability from the local community and
their peers.
Victoria Lodge has strong, well established links with outside professionals,
local businesses and amenities within the area. Local shops, facilities
and the town centre is within walking distance, and the larger towns
of Chichester, Worthing & Portsmouth are within an hour.
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 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. |
