Are you looking for quality residential or respite care in Farnborough? If so, our Lavender Lodge Care Home in Farnborough offers a fun and companionable community that celebrates life. Visit our nursing home in Farnborough to meet the Home Manager over a cup of tea in one of our safe visiting rooms or garden area. You can also find out more by calling us. We’ll be happy to talk you through the different facilities in our Farnborough care home and discuss your specific care needs.
Lavender Lodge Care Home is well known in Farnborough, as it has been serving the local and wider Hampshire community for the last 30 years. As a residential, respite, nursing, and dementia care home in Farnborough, it has developed an excellent reputation with the general public and referral sources across the county. Our staff are both passionate about their roles and compassionate in their care.
All of the bedrooms in our Farnborough care home are spacious and have plenty of room for the special keepsakes and belongings that make the room your own. Our lounges are happy places to be in too, whether to join in one of the many activities with others or to sit quietly with a book or newspaper. Couples and companions are warmly welcomed in our home where their well-being, comfort, and happiness are our top priority.
That is not to say we don’t have screens. We have found that using the internet and iPads yield a wealth of resources, especially for conjuring up memories – a very useful tool for those with memory loss. And if relatives live abroad or cannot visit very often, Skyping is a great option. Don’t worry, we are clued up and able to convince residents of the benefits of modern technology!
We also have a lovely garden and use it when the weather is good for exercising, gardening and sometimes for just having a nice cup of tea and a cake.
To see what we get up to at our nursing home in Farnborough, check out our dedicated Facebook page which is kept up to date with all the activities and goings on in the home. Alternatively, you can call our friendly team who are always happy to answer any questions you may have.
You’re never too old to join in the fun. We make sure that life doesn’t come to a halt just because you’re in a care home. Our energetic Activity Co-ordinators are there to make life as stimulating and varied as possible. For instance, you can:
Your well-being is our main focus and we do our best to cater for all, build on strengths, celebrate occasions and encourage new interests. Life is a journey, and we like happy travellers! We also enjoy getting out and about as much as possible and visit all manner of local hotspots, whether it’s a trip to the theatre or just a Sunday lunch down at the pub.
Family and friends can keep in touch with what is going on through our Facebook page, which contains videos of the day’s events and information on what we have coming up. You’re always welcome to join u at our residential care home in Farnborough.
Dining is an integral part of life at Lavender Lodge. We recognise that eating is a focal point of the day and much anticipated. So, our chef and his team take pride in cooking up delicious meals and giving residents good choices – though some will always stick to their favourites! Eating what they have grown themselves, like the delicious tomatoes and lettuces from the garden, always adds a bit of interest.
We recognise that mealtimes can be tricky for elderly residents as palates change and appetites wane. So, the kitchen team is always ready to listen to individual preferences and do their best to oblige. And yes…breakfast in bed is always an option! We encourage healthy eating and always have fruit and savoury snacks available, but many won’t be able to resist the fresh cakes and pastries that are baked every day! And they taste even better when you’re enjoying them in good company.
