About Burnham Lodge Nursing Home

Burnham Lodge Nursing Home is in Burnham On Sea. We care for older people who need nursing support and for adults with a physical disability. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Having registered nurses on site around the clock means clinical needs are met in the home rather than through repeated trips to hospital. Wound care, catheters, diabetes, pain relief and the gradual changes that come with long term conditions are managed by people who know the person, in surroundings they know. Most of good nursing care is small things done reliably and on time. Pressure care that does not slip. Mouth care that is not skipped. Someone sitting with a person who is frightened in the night. We would rather be judged on those than on anything we could put in a brochure. The other half of the job is a life worth getting up for. Residents choose their routines and their rooms are their own. Where somebody has a physical disability we think carefully about equipment and access, and about not helping more than is wanted, because being over assisted is a real loss and it creeps in easily. Being near the coast, a change of scene is easy to arrange. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit Burnham Lodge and ask us whatever you need to.
