What we offer

Oak Lodge is a 6 bedroom purpose built bungalow, with a shared bathroom and shower rooms adapted to meet physical needs. Individuals can decorate their bedroom to their liking.

There are communal areas for people to socialise in, including a communal kitchen/diner and a spacious lounge. There is also a fenced garden with wheelchair accessibility which people can use for leisure activities. The service also has its own transport which is ideal for day trips.

Lifestyle

At Oak Lodge people can take part in a wide range of activities and are encouraged to engage with the local community. They can enjoy gardening, day centre activities, social outings, meals out, cinema and theatre trips and holidays.

Recently, individuals were supported to go on a cruise on Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth, where they were treated like royalty. Additionally there has been a holiday to Devon and other day trips which everyone has enjoyed.

The service also has events, such as the ‘Big Picnic Fortnight’ where money was raised for YoungMinds. There was a raffle, a lucky dip, face painting and refreshments and a lot of people from the community came.

The service has recently adopted a dog called Teddy from Battersea Cats and Dogs Home and he is currently settling in well and receiving a lot of attention.
