About Us
Pinewood Lodge is a residential care home in Watford, supporting older adults and some younger adults. We look after residents living with dementia and residents with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places.
Our aim is that people keep as much of their own life as possible when they come here. Their own routines, their own belongings, their own preferences about food and company and how the day should go, and support to carry on doing whatever they can still manage themselves. Taking over is quicker and it is rarely the right answer.
For residents living with dementia we rely on familiarity, a steady rhythm to the day, and staff who will give somebody the time to respond in their own way rather than filling the silence for them. When a resident is distressed we look for the reason behind it, because there almost always is one.
Respite guests become part of the household from the day they arrive. For many people a short stay is their first experience of a care home, and we would like it to be reassuring rather than something endured.
Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good.
Families are welcome to visit without arranging it beforehand, and anyone considering a place here should come and see the home for themselves.
