Residential care home 
At Aykroyd Lodge we provide care and support for up to six individuals with severe or profound learning disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions, mobility needs and complex communication needs.
Supporting you
We understand that it is the little things that make the biggest difference to people’s lives. The support and care delivered at Aykroyd Lodge is individualised to ensure that our resident’s social, personal and communication needs are met.
As well as working with the individuals and their family, we also work with a number of other professionals to ensure the people we support receive the best care possible. The people who live here are supported to make their own choices and to express which activities they enjoy using their preferred method of communication.
Our residents enjoy a wide variety of community activities, which include horse riding, arts and crafts, attending church or football matches, trampolining, local countryside walks, attending social centres and much more.
We understand that family relationships are very important. We welcome visits from family and friends at any reasonable time, depending on the individual’s wishes. We also support individual’s to have regular phone calls, write letters and go out for meals with family members.
Facilities
A detached house set in open countryside with no nearby neighbours, the property consists of six large en-suite bedrooms, two spacious communal lounges, a sleep-over room, kitchen and dining area.
It is surrounded by its own gardens, including a patio area, barbecue and a feature pond. This is often used for relaxation and other activities. In the summer months we hold garden parties which are enjoyed by the people that live at Aykroyd Lodge, family members and staff. We also have five car parking spaces.
The team
We are proud of our team, with a large proportion of our support staff working towards or possessing their Level 2 or Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care. Additionally the Manager holds a level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care and the Deputy Manager is working towards their Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care.
We believe that having a well-trained team is the key to providing an excellent standard of care and support. Our high staff to resident ratio ensures the people that live at Aykroyd Lodge receive excellent support in every aspect of their live.
