Empowerment, Independence & Personal Development
The young adults who live in Stratford Lodge are central to all that we do, the care is person centred and the voice of the individual, however that may be communicated, is key in the care that is received. Empowerment, independence and personal development are all key factors in how we measure success at Stratford Lodge.
Stratford Lodge has an experienced care team that has proven to be effective and successful over the past 20 years in supporting meaningful outcomes for young adults with a wide range of abilities. We are aspirational for all individuals in our care and through kindness, innovation and a solution focused approach endeavour to support each young adult to achieve their own personal best.
Parent Feedback
Parent feedback is incredibly important to us. The experiences and reflections shared by families help us celebrate what we are doing well and continue improving the support we provide.
Environment
There's no place like home, and whilst we recognise Stratford Lodge may not be able to replace the family home for our young adults it makes every effort to provide the comfort, warmth and care that a family home provides so that our young adults feel safe and nurtured in their environment.
Stratford Lodge is a large Edwardian house located in a residential area. It features in a quiet lane overlooking Victoria Park in Salisbury. It is in walking distance of Salisbury city centre and is easily accessible to all the local leisure facilities, opportunities and community links that our young adults will need to develop that sense of belonging they require.
Making it Their Own
Choice and personalisation is encouraged in communal spaces and bedrooms to support the young adults to enjoy their environment.
Stratford Lodge provides a homely environment for up to 8 young adults, specifically designed to meet the needs of the individuals in our care, for whom a shared living experience can be a challenge.
