Abbey Lodge Residential Care Home, Hythe
The safety of our residents is of the paramount importance during the COVID 19 pandemic and we are continually adapting our policies in light of changing Government Guidelines. We understand that families would like to see their loved one's whilst in a care home and it is also important for the wellbeing of residents. We closed our doors to all but essential visitors on 11th March 2020, 12 days prior to the national lockdown began and re-opened in July 2020. During the summer of 2020 we allowed visiting in the garden (social distancing applying) and in March 2021 visiting was extended to a nominated individual for each resident .

The phrases “technology” and “care home” may seem counter-intuitive but we very much strive to run the home with technology in mind because it free’s up time for our staff to spend with the residents and improves the working lives of our staff to enhance morale and motivation. Technology and a “paperless” approach is at the heart of the care we provide at Abbey Lodge and we use an online care system which gives our carers the flexibility to provide bespoke care to the residents at their bedside, rather than having to rely on paper care records which are bulky and sometimes poorly maintained.
To find out more about the technology which we use in our home please book a visit!
Abbey Lodge are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who are the national inspectorate body in the United Kingdom. We are regularly inspected against their 5 key questions. You can view our current and past inspections below.
