About Dovehaven Lodge

Dovehaven Lodge is a nursing home in Preston, Lancashire. We care for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing alongside everyday support, including residents living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available too. Registered nurses are on site around the clock, so health needs are managed here rather than becoming a reason for another move. With that range of people living here, the way we work has to be genuinely individual. We learn how each person wants their day to run, how they communicate, what they can still do for themselves and where they actually want help. Beyond the nursing, we want residents to get up at their own hour, eat something they actually want and have their own things around them, because those are the parts of life that get squeezed first when clinical demands rise. For people living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the staffing familiar. Where sight or hearing is poor we check aids are working and adapt how we communicate. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
