About Sydmar Lodge

Sydmar Lodge is a care home in Edgware. We provide residential care for older people, and we support people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. We put a lot of weight on possessions and routines. It sounds trivial until you have watched somebody move into a care home with one bag and nothing familiar in it. A person's own chair, their pictures, their bedding, the clock they have listened to for thirty years: these settle people faster than anything we can say to them. So we encourage families to bring things, and we take proper care of them. The same thinking applies to the shape of the day. If somebody has had tea at half past six every morning for decades, that is when they should have it here. Our job is to fit around a life that already has a shape. Where sight or hearing has failed, we say who has come into the room and describe what is happening rather than assuming it is obvious. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit if you are considering care in this part of London.
