About Bumblebee Lodge

Bumblebee Lodge is a residential home in Spilsby supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, many of them younger adults. We offer permanent places and respite stays. We want to be open about our current position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Requires Improvement. We would rather set that out here than leave a family or a professional to come across it elsewhere and wonder what else we had chosen not to mention. We understand what was identified, we are working through it, and we will go over the findings and our response with anyone who asks. What we are working towards is what this kind of support should always rest on. People known properly as individuals rather than looked after as a group. Staff who understand how each person communicates and who give them the time they need rather than hurrying them. A routine that belongs to the person rather than to the building. Support that helps somebody do things for themselves. Accurate records and prompt, honest reporting when something goes wrong. The people living here are our first concern throughout, and their families are entitled to honesty from us about both the problems and the progress. If you are considering a placement or respite, come and visit, ask us hard questions, and judge the house on what you find.
