Deer Lodge

Deer Lodge is a homely, warm and friendly residential and dementia care home set in a lovely area of Teddington opposite to Bushy Park.

Deer Lodge supports 14 residents and provides them with a high standard of care. All staff are well trained, carefully vetted and recruited for skills in caring. Deer Lodge does not use agency staff. Being a smaller care home enables us to provide care that fits the needs of each individual resident.

The home has a warm and happy atmosphere and feels like a 'home from home'. With a delightful garden, the philosophy is to give residents the best possible quality of life while promoting their independence, privacy and dignity.

At Deer Lodge, the smaller number of residents cared for allows staff to understand the changing care needs of each resident on a day-to-day basis. The residents also get to know each staff member well, which builds familiarity and trust. Most of the staff have been with Deer Lodge for more than 5 years, which helps residents feel secure. Deer Lodge believes that keeping the employees happy will have a very positive effect on the residents.

Great emphasis is placed on creating a pleasant, homely atmosphere for residents. Special attention is given to the happiness and individual requirements of all residents. The management is directly involved in the resident’s lives supporting them and supervising that the care is provided at the highest standard.

Deer Lodge has a visiting hairdresser, optician, dentist, chiropodist, GP's, district nurses and other health professionals.

The home was awarded a rating of 'good' in all areas by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in their last routine inspection (November 2019).

Deer lodge is registered with London Borough of Richmond and is highly regarded by both the local community and the medical professionals. Read less
