Bridgeside Lodge is located in an attractive Canal side location. It is one of the largest independent care centre’s in the South East of England. Purpose built, with state of the art facilities, it is designed to meet the specialist needs for the long term care and rehabilitation of a wide variety of clients. Bridgeside Lodge is a wonderfully caring, friendly and vibrant place to live. We cater to both younger clients aged 18 to 65 years, particularly those suffering with Neurological and Spinal conditions, as well as the elderly client aged 65 years and over, with or without Dementia. Our primary objective is to improve the quality of life of our clients and their families and we seek to promote independence, choice and dignity of the individual. We believe that clients must be safe and secure at all times, whilst providing a relaxed and stimulating environment that motivates them to live a full and happy life.

Bridgeside Lodge provide 24-hour nursing care, delivered by highly trained registered nurses, care assistants and our visiting therapies team. Where possible, clients have the choice of gender for their care. Our staff are carefully screened with extensive referencing and police criminal record checks and receive professional training. We believe highly trained and well managed staff are the secret to providing quality and safe care. Bridgeside Lodge enables clients with Dementia to enjoy a life of quality and when possible to participate in the everyday life of our home. We provide Dementia services to older people and those with working age Dementia with a diagnosis of Alzheimer''s disease, or other forms of cognitive impairment, who display non-aggressive characteristics and moderate to high confusion. Our Dementia facilities are safe with alarmed door access and we have full-time lifestyle coordinators who attend Alzheimer''s Society training. Our Dementia care services follow the Alzheimer''s Society, Bradford & Sterling University guidelines. An individual lifestyle is essential, no matter how young, old or how dependent we are, so our staff ensure lifestyle choices are maintained. Our clients enjoy visiting local shops, an evening at the cinema, a quiz afternoon, or simply watching television in the privacy of their bedroom. It’s vital our clients keep active mentally and physically to make the most of every day. At Bridgeside Lodge clients are spoilt for choice with art workshops, flower arranging, handicrafts, games & quizzes, parties, shopping, visiting speakers, live performances, musical evenings, gardening, computer games & internet, clients’ association as well as religious observance services. In the summer we have garden tea parties and barbecues and meals can be taken on the terrace. Days out are frequent to London’s many attractions, the seaside or shopping. Making new friends is easy at Bridgeside Lodge and everyone has the opportunity to join in. At Bridgeside Lodge, you’re never alone.
