About Us

We at Buckler's Lodge Care Home offer compassionate residential care in the welcoming town of Crowthorne, providing a true home from home for older people who need support with daily living, dementia, or related needs. Nestled within the leafy surroundings of Bracknell Forest in the South East, our setting offers residents the comfort of a peaceful community whilst remaining easily accessible to loved ones visiting from across the wider RG postcode area.

Our home has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm, familiar, and reassuring. The local area around Crowthorne is known for its tree lined streets and gentle pace of life, and we believe this environment plays an important part in helping residents feel settled and at ease. Inside, we focus on creating spaces that feel calm and homely, where residents can relax in shared lounges, enjoy meals together, or find quiet corners to spend time with family and friends.

We specialise in older person and residential care, with dedicated support for those living with dementia, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. For families, this means knowing that a loved one's individual needs are recognised and understood. Our approach to dementia care centres on patience, familiarity, and gentle routines that help residents feel safe and respected, whilst those with sensory impairments benefit from a team experienced in adapting communication and daily support to suit each person. Residents with physical disabilities are supported with dignity, ensuring they can continue to enjoy meaningful activities and maintain as much independence as possible.

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that care should feel personal. We take time to learn about each resident's history, preferences, and the small details that make day to day life feel right for them, whether that is a favourite mealtime ritual, a treasured photograph by the bedside, or a particular way of starting the morning. Families are warmly welcomed as part of this journey, and we encourage open communication so that loved ones always feel informed and involved.

Following our most recent CQC inspection in September 2025, the home received an overall rating of Requires Improvement. We were pleased that inspectors rated our Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains as Good, recognising the kindness of our team, the quality of support residents receive, and our commitment to responding to individual needs. The Safe and Well led domains were rated Requires Improvement, and we are taking this feedback seriously, with focused work underway to strengthen these areas. We believe transparency matters, and we are committed to continuous improvement so that every resident and family can feel confident in the care provided.

If you are considering care for a loved one, we understand this can be an emotional and uncertain time. We would be delighted to welcome you to Buckler's Lodge Care Home, answer your questions, and show you around so you can see for yourself the warmth and care that defines our community. Please get in touch to arrange a visit, and let us help you take the next step with reassurance and confidence.
