Milton Lodge provides residential care for adults with mild, moderate and acute learning disabilities and has particular expertise in supporting the community presence of individuals whose behaviour may place themselves or others at risk. The residents at Milton Lodge are cared for using a person centred and outcome based approach.
There are 13 single rooms over three floors, eight with en-suite facilities and the remaining five with access to separate bathroom and toilet facilities. There are three pleasant lounges, two dining rooms, a communal kitchen and separate laundry facilities. A small garden is located to the front of the premises and there is an enclosed paved patio area to the rear.
Due to the layout of the property, there are no accessible rooms at Milton Lodge for people with mobility issues.
Milton Lodge offers a caring service to people with high support needs, including tailored support packages to assist with activities of daily living and social inclusion. The staff team are passionate about the people they support and execute their duties with empathy and care. Everyone living here is recognised for their own unique personality and the staff team make every effort to ensure that each day is safe, stimulating and happy.
The services at Milton Lodge are related to the continued rehabilitation of learning disabled people into the community in a safe and supported manner. We believe that the inclusion of individuals in all manner of social activities is central to the continued growth and development of each person. We focus on enabling service users to maximise their autonomy through a prolonged period of phased transition towards independence.
Milton Lodge is located in the centre of Whitley Bay, close to the beach, promenade and local shops and cafes. There are also regular bus and metro links to Newcastle and other local towns and cities.
