At Atherton Lodge we cater for residents with moderate care requirements as well as others who need 24 hours Nursing Assistance. Whatever the requirements of each individual resident, we deliver care with patience, kindness, and understanding and at all times ensuring the residents dignity. The care plan for each resident is formed in conjunction with their families and aimed at promoting health and independence and their physical as well as mental well being.
Residents can retain their own GP or the home can arrange a GP for the residents if they so wish. The majority of our Care staff are qualified to NVQ level 2 or above in Care and are led by Registered Nurses.
