Market Lodge is a specialist acquired brain injury care centre providing cost-effective quality accommodation for adults aged 18 and over seeking short or long stay services.
The facility provides care and therapeutic support for people who have received an acquired brain injury through direct or organic trauma.
The design meets the needs of individuals requiring enhanced supported living, nursing and re-ablement services in a post-acute setting.
In lieu of the community based therapies and activities that Market Lodge usually undertake when not in lock-down, they have been busy in house, ensuring all therapies are continued and their residents are engaged and entertained.
They carry out speech and language skills every day with prescribed exercises designed to maintain and improve function and ensure that all physiotherapy and positioning exercises are done daily, to make sure that residents do not falter when achieving their optimum function.
There are many creative opportunities throughout the day, with arts, crafts and all other artistic pursuits encouraged.
It is important that the residents have regular structured thinking skills, which help with recognition and processing. Many games are played throughout the day, including group games.
Music therapy is popular as a form of reminiscence therapy and proves to be very uplifting.
There is regular baking and cooking, making it a whole unit activity for all to enjoy, catering for the varied diets Market Lodge caters to.

Thank you for taking the team to leave us these kind words, we really appreciate it.
Excellent service, long may it carry. My brother sees the staff as part of his family and Market Lodge as his home as he tells me every time I visit. The home is a wonderful place, if I need to know anything the staff sorts it straight away.

Market Lodge provides a really caring and supportive environment for the complex care needs of my sister. Staff always act in her best interest, but are so considerate of her feelings and work hard to allow her to feel that she has control over the elements of her life that she can manage. She is treated with great patience and understanding. All the staff work hard to make Market Lodge feel like a home for my sister, from celebrating her birthday to providing stimulating trips and activities, interaction and friendly faces. I know that at Market Lodge my sister is exceedingly well looked after and cared for with kindness, compassion and skilled competence.

I studied Health and Social Care for 2 years whilst at sixth form and really enjoyed it. During this time, I did some work experience within the care sector and found the work very rewarding and enjoyed building therapeutic relationships with the people I cared for.
On qualifying, I spent some time working as a live-in carer, enabling someone to remain in their own home with support. I found that I was very good at helping and encouraging someone to be as independent as they could, and I decided that a career in rehabilitation would be my next step.
During my time at Market Lodge, I have worked with residents to empower them as much as I can and support them in every aspect of their lives, helping them reach their goals and optimum potential. With brain injury, this is really important because sometimes people’s abilities can change on a daily basis and expecting people to achieve something every day doesn’t acknowledge how hard they find certain activities and sets them up to fail.
In a normal day at Market Lodge, I never know what is going to be around the corner. I can be celebrating a huge achievement for a resident, commiserating if the day hasn’t gone their way, helping people deal with lots of different emotions and finding the humour in our everyday lives.
We usually have a lot of fun on Market Lodge, but some days I will be the only motivation a resident has, and I will work hard to encourage them so they begin to feel hopeful and enthusiastic again.This is one of my favourite parts of my role.
