Acorn Lodge(Hackney)

Acorn Lodge Care Home is a 98 bedroom purpose built home offering nursing care which also accommodates Service Users who have residential, respite and palliative care needs. All rooms are single with en-suite. The home is situated at 15 Atherden Road, Clapton and is within a short walking distance of British Rail and local buses.

Our manager embraces an individualistic holistic people-centred approach and her communication skills are used to the full extent to ensure an open, honest and effective exchange of ideas and information.

We have a dedicated team of staff to provide you with 24 hour care. Your care is individually assessed and planned with you by a Registered Nurse to enable you to live as full a life as possible.

We have a choice of lounge areas where you can read, listen to music, watch TV or simply sit and chat. We offer a programme of activities throughout the week and entertainment is organised throughout the year. The garden areas are fully accessible to wheelchair users.

Our meals are cooked on the premises by our resident Chef and our menus offer a variety of appetising meals. We are able to cater for special diets for medical, religious or cultural reasons.

Visitors are encouraged and welcomed at any time throughout the day. Family and friends are invited to join us for special occasions like Birthdays and Christmas and to accompany us on outings. Other regular visitors to the Home include your General Practitioner, Social Worker, Dentist, Optician, Chiropodist, Hairdresser and Clergy. We are also visited by Specialist Nurses, Dietician, Speech and Language Therapist, Wheelchair Service and Consultants as required. Residents are encouraged to make their rooms feel like home.

We appreciate that making a decision to enter a nursing home can be stressful. We would strongly recommend that you (or your representative) visit other nursing homes in the area to assist in your choice. We realise there may be times when there are concerns or worries that need to be discussed. Our staff are always available to talk these concerns through with you. We will work with you to resolve any difficulties you may be experiencing.

We actively encourage your comments on your care provision.

Acorn Lodge is purpose built to the highest standards in an attempt to satisfy the diverse needs of a broad spectrum of Service Users.  As always at Acorn Lodge, an open door policy is encouraged for all, Service Users, family members, staff and support services in an effort that the rights and needs of all individuals within the care home are respected.
