About Newfield Lodge
Newfield Lodge is a residential care home in Castleford. We support older people who can no longer manage at home without help, including many residents living with dementia. Our starting point is always the person's own routine. We would rather fit around a lifetime of habits than ask someone to adapt to ours, so we find out early what the day normally looks like, what someone still wants to do without assistance, and what they would quietly rather have help with. Dignity in a care home is mostly made up of small practical decisions of that kind, taken consistently. For residents with dementia we keep things familiar and unhurried. Faces stay the same as far as our rotas allow, the building is arranged so that getting about does not rely on memory, and when someone is distressed we look for the reason rather than simply trying to settle them. Families often know that reason before we do, which is one of several good arguments for keeping them closely involved. There is usually something going on here, though nobody is pressed into joining in. Time in the garden, a quiet lounge, visitors at a sensible hour and a decent cup of tea cover most of what people actually ask for. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. We are pleased with that and we are not complacent about it. Do come and look round.
