About Princess Lodge

Princess Lodge is a nursing home in Tipton, in the Sandwell area. We provide nursing care for older people, including those living with dementia, and we also support younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. Respite stays are available for shorter periods. Having qualified nurses on site means people can remain with us as their health needs change rather than facing another move, which matters a great deal to families who have already been through one. The clinical side is only part of it though. Most of what makes a day good or bad here has little to do with nursing. It is whether somebody was helped at their own pace, whether the food was something they actually wanted, whether their room feels like theirs, and whether they were asked rather than told. Dementia support is a significant part of our work and what helps is familiar staff, steady routines and the patience to understand what somebody means when the words are no longer dependable. We take the same care over communication with residents who have a learning disability or autism, giving the time needed to understand properly rather than assume. Families are closely involved and we keep in touch honestly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep examining the detail rather than treating it as settled. If you are considering a nursing home in this area for a relative, please come and see us, speak to our nurses and ask whatever you need to know.
