About Elizabethlodge

Elizabethlodge is a residential care home in Gosport, Hampshire. We provide a home for people living with dementia and we also offer respite stays, whether to give a family carer a rest or to provide a settled place for somebody for a shorter period. Dementia care is what we do, and we have built the way we work around it. Consistency is what helps most. Familiar faces, routines that change only when there is a reason, and the patience to sit with somebody rather than hurry them. We take time to understand what a person is expressing even when the words have become unreliable, and we treat distress as communication rather than as behaviour to be managed. People keep their own furniture and photographs, and we ask families in detail about history, habits and preferences, because that information is often what makes the present make sense. We want this to feel like a house people live in. Residents are helped up when they wake rather than to suit a rota, eat food they actually recognise and enjoy, and spend their days in company or in peace according to what suits them. Families are welcome whenever it works for them and we would rather raise something early than wait to be asked. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep examining the detail rather than assuming it holds on its own. If you are considering a home in Gosport for a relative living with dementia, please come and visit and ask us anything.
