Marlborough Lodge

Located in Marlborough, a bustling market town with views of Savernake Forest, Marlborough Lodge provide residential care for up to 18 residents. A true home from home, home cooked meals, a cosy and familiar environment are just some of the benefits of Marlborough Lodge. Good staffing levels and a hands on manager enable us to provide care that is truly person centred.

Our cooks prepare home cooked meals each day using fresh ingredients with plenty of choice. All meals including breakfast can be offered in our dining room or in your individual room. We aim to be person centred so you can choose for your meal to be offered at a later or earlier time if you wish. Our open plan, cosy communal area consists of a tv lounge, dining area and a quiet seating area. Whether you wish to socialise over your favourite beverage or watch your favourite tv show or movie or whether you wish to pick out a book from our book shelf and have a read in your room or the quiet part of the lounge, there is always something for you to do. Wiltshire library visit every couple of weeks and replace some of the books we have on our shelves so there’s always something to suite.

Our activity chart is reviewed weekly with something going on everyday. We are introducing the ‘POOL Activity Tool’ to identify people’s abilities and their activity levels to find something individual to suit each of our residents. This tool will also help us to incorporate those who have some level of cognitive impairment to find something that they can do.

We have a private garden with seating so you can sit and enjoy the weather over a book or a meal. You may alternatively wish to sit outside and just enjoy the weather. Our garden is secure and leads into our rear car park which can accommodate up to 8 cars. The garden includes outdoor seating for those sunny days and a raised flower bed with a mix of shrubs, vegetables and flowers for those who enjoy a spot of gardening every now and then but their mobility doesn’t allow them to bend down to the floor.

Our home is fully adapted for those who may have disability needs, there are bath chairs for those who have difficulty getting in and out of the bath, a chair lift to take you up and down the stairs.

Specialising in dementia, we recognise that every individual is different and will need a unique approach to help them get the most out of life.

Our cooks produce all our meals in house from fresh ingredients. 2 options are on offer during the afternoon meal and 3 options offered every evening meal. Desserts and puddings are offered after each meal with a choice of fruit juices, squash drinks or hot drinks to suit individual needs.

We understand the importance of good quality nutrition and hydration so our care plans and staff training really focus on getting this right. We can accommodate for individuals who require a variety of special diets, allergies and even use using food moulds to make our pureed foods look even more attractive.
