Residential Care for Older People

Greengate Lodge Residential Home

Welcome to Greengate Lodge, a residential facility in Newham designed to meet your long-term care needs or care for you on a short-term basis.

Greengate Lodge opened in 1990 and is a modern, purpose-built facility with room for 33 residents. There are 32 single bedrooms and one double room for couples and all have en-suite toilet or bathroom facilities. It has experienced and sensitive staff on hand 24 hours a day to provide you with support and personal care.

The home has four units. Roshni unit offers care to six Asian people and Emotan is for up to seven people from African and Caribbean backgrounds. Both of these are staffed by carers from Asian and African and Caribbean communities who are trained to meet your individual needs. The menus in these units are designed to reflect your tastes. Our third unit, Abbey, offers care to people from any cultural background and our fourth, Dundee is for people with mild to moderate dementia.

In the homely atmosphere at Greengate, you will be able to settle in and feel reassured of a comfortable stay. We aim to provide quality services to the highest standard and we will always take your personal choices and independence into account when caring for you.

The home uses assistive technology to provide enhanced care quality to clients. Various alarms like incontinence and epileptic fit alarms allow staff to be alerted to client needs early. This facilitates better and focussed care depending on the needs of the client. The staff at the home will discuss options to use the service with you and following your concurrence this service will be provided to you.

In Newham, we aim to uphold the following principles of care:
• Support for your physical, emotional, cultural, religious or social needs
• Carrying out a regular individual assessment
• Helping to maintain your independence in a safe and secure environment
• Giving privacy and dignity
• Offering freedom of choice
• Respecting individual beliefs and culture

If your needs change over time and you become more frail we promise to help meet your changing needs. This may mean moving from a residential care home where all your care needs are met by one member of staff to nursing care which will provide more staff for those who have higher support needs.
