What We Stand For.

Derby Lodge aims to provide clients at our Preston private care home with a secure, relaxed and homely environment in which care, well being and comfort are of prime importance.

Carers at our care home in Preston will strive to preserve and maintain the dignity, individuality and privacy of all clients within a warm and caring atmosphere, and in so doing will be sensitive to the clients ever changing needs. Such needs we cater for at our Preston private care home may be medical/therapeutic (for physical and mental welfare), cultural, psychological, spiritual, emotional and social and clients are encouraged to participate in the development of their individual Care Plans in which the involvement of family and friends may be appropriate and is greatly valued.

This is achieved at Derby Lodge through programmes of activities and therapies designed to encourage mental alertness, self esteem, social interaction and rehabilitation with recognition of the following core values of care which are fundamental to the philosophy of our care home in Preston.
