A message from our care home manager

I have worked in health and care for more than two decades – for me, it is not a job, it is a calling. As an experienced Home Manager, I understand that choosing a care home can feel like a big decision for families. That is why, at Buckler’s Lodge, we help make the move into care as smooth as possible. Our flexible no-obligation trial gives families the chance to experience life in the home before committing long-term. Across our three floors, each with its own dedicated Care Manager, we provide personalised support in warm, welcoming and carefully designed environments.

Frequently
asked questions

What happens if my funds run out?

At Buckler’s Lodge, we know that paying for care can be a worry for families. As a not-for-profit home, we offer our Home for Life funding assurance. This means residents will be supported to stay in the place they call home if their personal funds run out, as long as we can still meet their care needs.

Can I arrange a trial or respite stay?

Yes. Buckler’s Lodge offers respite stays and a flexible six-week no-obligation trial. This gives residents and families the chance to experience life in our home before making a long-term decision. Respite care can also help after a hospital stay, during recovery or when a family carer needs a break. Residents enjoy the same care, meals, activities and facilities as long-term residents. There is no weekly fee uplift for respite stays at Buckler’s Lodge.

How is the transition into care supported?

Moving into care can feel like a big change, so we do everything we can to make it easier. Before a resident moves in, we spend time understanding their care needs, daily routines, and personal preferences, and turn them into a highly detailed care plan tailored to them. The resident is supported in settling in and feeling comfortable, and families are involved throughout, with regular communication as the norm. Our longer-than-standard six-week flexible trials are designed specifically to provide extra confidence that you are choosing the right home.

How do you care for residents living with dementia?

Dementia care at Bucker’s Lodge is designed to help residents feel safe, calm and supported. We take time to learn about each person’s routines, preferences and life story so we can provide care that feels familiar. Our dementia floor has its own dedicated Care Manager, and our home features comfortable spaces, quiet areas and activities that help residents stay engaged and confident.

What activities and social events do you offer?

Residents at Buckler’s Lodge can enjoy a wide range of activities and social events. These may include outings, arts and crafts, music sessions, gardening, film afternoons, exercise classes and visits from entertainers. We also celebrate birthdays, holidays and special occasions throughout the year. Activities are based on residents’ interests, so everyone can enjoy something they like, whether that is spending time with others or relaxing quietly.

What makes a not-for-profit care home different?

As a charity-run care home, Buckler’s Lodge focuses on people, not profit. With no dividends to pay, every penny received is put back into improving the home, supporting residents and maintaining high standards of care. Families can feel reassured knowing that decisions are made with residents best interests in mind. Our charitable approach also supports our Home for Life funding assurance, giving residents extra security for the future.

Buckler’s Lodge has provided an absolute lifeline to our family. My dad has dementia, and the care shown to him at Buckler’s Lodge is wonderful. Knowing he is so well looked after is a great comfort to us. The care is amazing, but also the activities and engagement is brilliant. Music plays a large part in the activities, with many people visiting the home to provide music that brings back wonderful memories for the residents. Every event in the year is celebrated and as a family we are very much encouraged to be part of every day at Buckler’s Lodge. A precious thing.
