About Prestwood Lodge

Prestwood Lodge is a residential care home near Stourbridge. We provide care for older people and for people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We are a residential home rather than a large institution, and the day here belongs to the people living in it. Some like an early start and a bit of company; others prefer a slow morning and a quiet afternoon. Our part is to make either possible, and to help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and getting about in a way that supports independence rather than quietly replacing it. Where somebody has a physical disability, we take trouble to get the detail right: equipment properly set up, staff who are confident using it, and moving and handling done the way the person prefers rather than the way that happens to be quickest. Being helped to move is a very personal business and it is worth doing well. A good deal of what makes a home like this work is unremarkable from the outside. Meals at a reasonable hour with people you know. Staff who are familiar and not in a rush. Somebody noticing that you are quieter than usual and asking about it without making a fuss. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to visit Prestwood Lodge and see the home as it ordinarily is.
