Gardenia Lodge

Residential Home

Gardenia Lodge accepts male and female clients usually for long term elderly residential and EMI care. The home does accept physically disabled clients as well as those requiring palliative care, where appropriate. Staff have received comprehensive training in dementia care and therefore individuals who require dementia care are accommodated.

Aims & Objectives

Committed to Caring

25 places for elderly residents who possess a residential or EMI certificate from the Needs Assessment Panel, Guernsey.

A pre-admission assessment will be carried out to assess the suitability of the match between your needs and the Services and facilities of The Home. The suitability of your admission will be discussed with you and, if appropriate and with your permission, your representative(s).

Emergency admissions will be accepted only in exceptional circumstances, where the health or safety of the Service User is under threat, and normally only through a professional referrer such as Social Services. In this event, the suitability of the proposed Service User will be discussed with the professional referrer to ensure that the needs match the services offered, and the normal pre-admission assessment will be carried out within 48 hours of admission.

The Home aims to:

Offer skilled care to enable people who live here to achieve their optimum state of health and well-being.

Treat all people who live and work at the Home and all people who visit with respect at all times. Respect and encourage the right of independence of all Service Users.

Recognise the individual uniqueness of Service Users, staff and visitors, and treat them with dignity and respect at all times.

Respect individual requirement for privacy at all times and treat all information relating to individuals in a confidential manner.

Recognise the individual need for personal fulfilment and offer individualised programmes of meaningful activity to satisfy that need of Service Users and staff.
