About Winfield Lodge

Winfield Lodge is a residential care home in Bath. We provide care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our aim is that this feels like somewhere people live rather than somewhere they have been put. Residents bring their own belongings, keep their own routines and decide how the day goes. We provide help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and getting about, and we are careful to give only as much as is wanted, because doing too much for somebody erodes independence just as surely as doing too little neglects it. Dementia care is a large part of our work. We take time to learn each person's history, their habits and the things that reassure them, because that knowledge is what allows staff to respond to the feeling behind a difficult moment rather than simply to the behaviour in front of them. Familiar faces, a calm environment and a predictable rhythm do most of the rest. Where somebody has a physical disability we make sure equipment is properly set up and that staff use it confidently, and we follow the person's own preferences about how they are helped to move. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are very welcome to visit Winfield Lodge and see the home as it ordinarily is rather than as it might be prepared for a visit.
