Middleton Lodge Residential Care Home Darlington

Middleton Lodge is a residential care home which cares and supports 10 adults, male and female from 18 to 65 years, with learning disabilities and behavioural difficulties.

Our aim at Middleton Lodge is to provide a stimulating environment and ensuring the quality of life and the creation of a safe and homely environment. The care and support received is tailored to the individual and these will be dictated in a manner of approach, attitude and degree of support offered by the staff team.

We place an emphasis on maximising independence and supporting individuals to develop their social and interpersonal skills. Our service is based on O'Brien's five service accomplishments and the previous work completed by Wolfensburger. We are committed to providing a person-centred service in partnership with the individual. The working partnership involves four main principles of trust, positive regards, shared learning and equality.

ACTIVITIES

Daily activities are fundamentally based on basic life principles and geared towards encouraging greater independence. Service users are encouraged as much as possible to contribute to the general cleaning, upkeep and other aspects of the running of the home. This offers a routine and structure of daily life and the opportunity to develop skills. The home also uses outside sources including colleges to promote independence and encourage interests in alternative activities.

We hope that this information is helpful and welcome any questions that you may have. If you would like to find out more about the support and services we offer, please do not hesitate to contact us.
