Overview
Park Lodge provides specialist support for up to seven adults who have learning disabilities, autism and challenging behaviour.
Our person-centred approach ensures that people are supported to develop the skills they need to live as independently as possible.
Service Description
We treat every individual with respect and dignity and actively encourage people to be involved with the decision making in their home.
At Park Lodge, people are supported to take part in an extensive range of leisure and recreational activities that are very much based on the individual’s choice and interests. These include day trips all over Scotland, Edinburgh Zoo, Glasgow, St Andrews and Aviemore. People can also take part in Karaoke, giant board games, dancing, baking and listening to music. Visits to family and friends are always encouraged. Every year there is a local Gala and we often take part with a home baking stall. Birthdays and special events at Park Lodge are celebrated and there are also Halloween and Christmas parties which are always great fun.
We have close working relationships with the community learning disability team, SALT, Community Learning Disability Nurses, GPs and Dieticians.
Meal times are an important part of the day at Park Lodge. Our experienced catering staff prepare a varied menu of fresh home-cooked food every day, and we cater for individual likes and dislikes from a cultural, religious or choice perspective.
Resources and Amenities
At Park Lodge, we have seven spacious bedrooms which are all decorated to the individuals’ preferences and two large shower rooms and a specialist bathroom.
We have a large living room where people can relax and socialise, a multi-sensory room that provides a calming and therapeutic space and an exercise room to help increase mobility. The building is fully wheelchair accessible and has an overhead hoist as well as mobile hoists.
Park Lodge is set in the middle of a woodland area approximately eight miles from the heart of Aberdeen City centre. The lush grounds surrounding Park Lodge include a garden and acres of woodland.
There are historical points of interest within the grounds of Park Lodge such as Kirkton House and the ruins of Kirkton Chapel. Kirkton of Skene is about a three minute walk away, there is a village shop, pub and community hall.
