Company description
Fairdene Lodge is a beautiful residential care home in Brighton and Hove, where the team are dedicated to compassionately caring for older people suffering from dementia type illnesses. Kindness, sensitivity and respect are at the center of what we do at Fairdene Lodge, and guiding our residents live life their way is the value around which we've put together our philosophy.
We believe in encouraging independence, recognising personal fulfilment, and providing everyone in our care the freedom of choice. Fairdene Lodge is a real home, and commitment has gone into making sure that everything from food to activities, to the decoration of private and communal rooms makes our residents joyful, comfortable, and satisfied.
To us, it's vitally important that residents feel as comfortable as possible, which is why thought, care, and also input from residents themselves has gone into the decor of each and every one of our 28 bed rooms. We're able to accommodate up to 32 people, and every door is distinctly numbered. With approval, images can be attached to aid orientation.
Focus on navigation all around the home is a key concern that runs throughout Fairdene Lodge, with all 5 reception rooms uniquely themed so that residents can enjoy different surroundings.
Reception rooms are also furnished with dementia friendly rummage boxes, book cases, hat stands and areas of interest. These contain classic design items to bring on memories of one's past.
Residents make a decision on how to spend their time, and there's a wide variety of activities readily available to them, including singing, films, exercise, arts and crafts, and themed events. Reminiscence sessions are held to urge residents to recall their pasts, and meetings are often held to continuously improve the activities programme.
Trips and strolls are regularly arranged, and our staff always makes an effort to support individual's hobbies and interests outside the home where possible.
