Buckingham Lodge

We are working within the government guidelines to help protect our staff and clients.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Buckingham Lodge offers a warm, safe and friendly environment, with facilities to make you feel at home in our care. Built to a modern specification and well decorated with tasteful interior design, Buckingham Lodge is an elegant and contemporary residential care home meticulously finished to a very high standard.

Companionship is an important part of life at Buckingham Lodge Care Home, and the cosy lounges on each floor provide spaces where people can meet with loved ones, mingle with neighbours, read, watch films, chat, or simply watch the world go by.

Quiet areas and spacious en-suite rooms ensure peace and privacy when you want it. We adopt a ‘pets welcome’ policy by arrangement with the home manager.

A café, lounges, quiet spaces, and a hair and beauty salon are all at hand. Stroll in the landscaped gardens on warm days and enjoy the peaceful setting. Or simply enjoy a break at one of the outdoor seating areas.

Buckingham Lodge is close to local shops and the community centre. There is also a wide range of local amenities close by, including:

• Train station two and a half miles away
• Leisure centre and swimming pool – Stoke Mandeville stadium, four miles away
• Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, two miles away
• Hospital, a mile and a half away
• Cinema, two miles away
• The swimming pool and gym are less than a mile away.

Anchor is constantly pioneering the use of modern technology. It provides the older people living in its care homes with access to Apple iPads as part of its ongoing commitment to person-centred activities, meaningful engagement and the highest quality of dementia care.

Our bright and spacious bedrooms at Buckingham Lodge provide luxurious personal space where residents feel safe and happy. Each bedroom has a flat-screen TV, DVD player, fridge, comfortable seating, and lockable drawers.

All of our residents, whatever their ability, also enjoy the privacy of modern en-suite bathrooms. We encourage residents to personalise their room with ornaments and photos to reflect their style and personality and make it home from home.

Large windows and patio doors on the ground floor enable residents to enjoy the landscaped gardens and local surroundings from their bedrooms.

Our bedrooms combine all the comforts of home with carefully chosen assistive technology to provide an additional sense of security. Specially adapted lights and call systems enable our staff to immediately assist residents if needed and help our residents feel safe at all times.

The assistive technologies we use are designed to maximise independence and enable carers to create a climate of freedom, dignity, choice, and, above all, safety.

A range of design features helps residents familiarise themselves with their new home and create a safe environment as they go about their day-to-day activities. Our spacious bedrooms are arranged along well-lit, homely hallways that have been colour-coded and use signage that is both worded and pictorially illustrated for easy recognition.

You’ll always find plenty to do at Buckingham Lodge Care Home, with a host of daily leisure activities for you to take part in.

With social events in the home and the community arranged in collaboration with residents, you can make your life at Buckingham Lodge a hive of activity or as gentle as you wish.

We understand that the activities people carry out in their free time are often what they most look forward to and enjoy. Our hobbies and interests are individual to us. They shape the person we are and help to paint a picture of how we like to live our lives.

Buckingham Lodge’s first-class facilities are complemented by a line-up of meaningful activities that make a big difference to our residents. Activities, interests, and abilities are discussed when you move in, and a stimulating events and activities calendar is organised to match individual residents’ interests and needs.

We encourage a variety of hobbies and work in partnership with the National Association for Providers of Activities for Older People (NAPA) to ensure our range of activities enhances residents’ lifestyle, health, and sense of well-being.

We know how important it is to maintain close bonds with the people in your life. At Buckingham Lodge, your visitors are always welcome at any time, including mealtimes. We also encourage you to maintain links with the wider community and can help organise regular outings to local social activities and groups.

We adopt a ‘pets welcome’ policy by arrangement with the home manager.
