Afton Lodge is a tastefully
converted property, providing
residential care for the elderly.
It provides a homely environment and
features a TV lounge and a ‘quiet’
lounge. There is also an extensive
walled garden and patio area with
full disabled access.
Located in the heart of Bootle, it
is easily accessible by major road
and rail links and within easy
distance of the town centre and The
Strand.
Our
dedicated staff are headed by a
registered manager, who has many
years of experience in caring for
the elderly. Our managers provide
hands-on supervision to maintain our
tradition of excellence. All Staff
are CRB checked and trained to an
appropriate level, many with NVQ
qualifications. Training is
sponsored by the company as part of
an on-going commitment to training
and retaining high quality staff.
As in
all our establishments, there is
full disabled access, lifts to all
floors and specialised equipment is
available, e.g. for assisted
bathing. Physiotherapy, Chiropody,
Dentists and Opticians are all
available on request. Local clergy
of all denominations are encouraged
to visit on a regular basis and can
also be arranged on request.
Our
trained chefs prepare a wide range
of home cooked food using fresh
local produce. The choice is based
on traditional recipes and daily
alternatives are provided at every
meal time. Special diets are also
catered for.
A
full programme of activities is
available to our residents, tailored
to their needs and abilities.
Although there is a non-smoking
policy in the home, special smoking
zones are designated and both
smokers and non-smokers are
accommodated in all our care homes.
The
home is visited by hairdressers and
a range of complimentary therapies
can be arranged on request at your
own cost. Accommodation is fully
inclusive of laundry.
The
home welcomes guests funded by
Social Services and those who are
privately paying clients.
