About Taylor View and Gilbert Lodge

Here at Taylor View and Gilbert Lodge, we provide residential care for a range of people from our home in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. We support older adults, younger adults, people living with a learning disability or autism, and those experiencing mental health difficulties. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break or some additional support for a period of time. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or their family will ever make, and we do not take that lightly. Our aim is to make sure everyone who comes through our doors feels genuinely at home, respected, and listened to. We take the time to understand each person as an individual, learning about their history, their preferences, and what matters most to them in their daily life. Our team works hard to create an environment that feels warm and familiar rather than institutional. We want people to feel comfortable, to maintain their independence wherever possible, and to continue doing the things they enjoy. Care is planned around the individual, and we regularly review that care to make sure it still reflects what each person needs and wants. We are pleased to hold a "good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the commitment of our staff and the standards we hold ourselves to day to day. We are always looking at how we can improve and grow, and we welcome honest feedback from residents, families, and visitors.

More about the care at Taylor View and Gilbert Lodge

A short stay is also the most honest way to test whether a permanent move would suit.

Residential Care at Taylor View and Gilbert Lodge

The distinction between residential and nursing care comes down to whether a registered nurse is on duty in the building. Taylor View and Gilbert Lodge in Nottingham holds a residential registration, which covers accommodation, meals, laundry and personal care rather than clinical treatment. District nurses and GPs visit from the community when health needs arise, as they would for anyone living at home. Inspectors judged the home good, though that visit was back in February 2020 and a great deal can change in a few years. Activities and the daily routine are worth seeing for yourself rather than reading about. Ask what happens if a resident's needs move beyond what a residential home can lawfully provide.

Nottinghamshire County Council typically pays between £680 and £820 a week for residents it funds, while private fees across the East Midlands more often run from £850 to £1100. Night staffing is the question families most often skip, so ask how many staff are awake overnight and how call bells are answered. It is also fair to ask how often a care plan is reviewed.

Mental Health at Taylor View and Gilbert Lodge

Ask what experience the staff have with the particular condition involved, how a deterioration is recognised and escalated, and which community teams the home works with.
