About Tudor Lodge

Tudor Lodge is a residential care home in Folkestone, and we provide a home for older people who need support with daily living. Respite stays are available too, for planned breaks and for the occasions when a family needs cover quickly. Much of what makes a care home good is unspectacular. Knowing which chair is somebody's. Getting the tea right. Not hurrying a person through a wash because the trolley is waiting. We help with personal care, dressing, medication and mobility, and we try to do it so unobtrusively that it feels like part of the day rather than a procedure, leaving as much privacy and choice with the resident as we can. Dementia care is a significant part of our work. We keep the daily rhythm and the surroundings steady, give people time to find their words, and take trouble to learn about earlier life, because knowing what somebody did for a living and what they loved tells us a great deal once language becomes unreliable. Families usually hold that story, and we ask for it early. We ought to be open with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have worked through the findings with the team and those areas are where our effort sits at present. We would rather you heard it from us and then came to judge for yourself. Visitors are welcome on any ordinary day. Ring us and we will arrange a time that suits you.
