Running Shenley Lodge is a collective effort coordinated by the Registered Provider, the Manager and the senior staff members. They are responsible for our team and for maintaining the exceptionally high standards of our service and upholding our company's beliefs.
At Shenley Lodge, we aim to provide our Service Users with a secure, relaxed, and homely environment in which their care, well-being and comfort are of prime importance. Our dedicated staff members will strive to preserve and maintain the dignity, individuality and privacy of all our Service Users within a warm and caring atmosphere, and in so doing will be sensitive to the Service Users ever-changing needs. Such needs may be medical/therapeutic (for physical and mental welfare), cultural, psychological, spiritual, emotional and social, and Service Users are encouraged to participate in the development of their individualised Care Plans in which the involvement of family and friends may be appropriate and is greatly valued.
We offer permanent and long-term placements predominantly however we can provide respite services for a minimum of four weeks.

You are welcome to visit your friend or relative at any time, we do not have visiting hours as we want our Residents to maintain their relationships in a way that they would at home, we understand families have a lot of commitments and want to support our Resident's networks to remain strong. Due to COVID 19 restrictions we must operate a booking system, please call ahead to schedule your visit. We also encourage pets to visit as animals provide great companionship but do ask that owners keep them on leads and under control.
