About Us

Whitelodge Care Home is a residential home in Bristol. We provide care for older people, including people living with dementia and people with visual or hearing impairment, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places.

We are a residential home rather than a clinical setting, and the day here belongs to the people living in it. Some like an early start and the garden; others prefer a slow morning. Our part is to make either possible, and to help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and getting about in a way that supports independence rather than replacing it.

Dementia care is central to 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 the behaviour in front of them. A calm environment, familiar faces and a predictable rhythm do a great deal of the rest. Where a resident has a sight or hearing impairment we adapt how we communicate and keep things where they expect to find them, because small changes cause disproportionate difficulty.

Respite stays get the same planning as any other admission, whether they give a family carer a proper break or support somebody after a spell in hospital.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
