Fairdene Lodge is a wonderful residential care home in Brighton and Hove, where the team are devoted to compassionately caring for older persons suffering from dementia type illnesses. Kindness, sensitivity and respect are at the center of what we do at Fairdene Lodge, and guiding our residents live life their way is the value around which we've built our philosophy.
Our team believe in supporting independence, recognising personal fulfilment, and providing everyone in our care the freedom of choice. Fairdene Lodge is a loving home, and commitment has gone into making sure that everything from food to activities, to the decoration of private and communal rooms makes our residents joyful, relaxed, and fulfilled.
To us, it's essential that residents feel as at home as possible, which is why thought, care, and also input from residents themselves has gotten involved with the decoration of each of our 28 bed rooms. We're able to accommodate up to 32 persons, and every door is clearly numbered. With consent, photos can be attached to aid orientation.
Focus on navigation around the home is a priority that runs throughout Fairdene Lodge, with all 5 reception rooms separately themed so that residents can enjoy different surroundings.
Reception rooms are also equipped with dementia friendly rummage boxes, book cases, hat stands and areas of interest. These include classic style items to bring on memories of one's past.
Residents make a decision on how to spend their time, and there's a wide range of pastimes available to them, such as singing, films, exercise, arts and crafts, and themed events. Reminiscence sessions are held to motivate residents to remember their pasts, and meetings are often held to continuously improve the activities programme.
Trips and walks are regularly scheduled, and our staff always try to encourage individual's hobbies and interests outside the home where possible.
