Residential care home 
Brook Lodge is a residential care home supporting up to eight men with autism, learning disabilities, challenging behaviour, epilepsy, and mental health needs.
Supporting you
We support individuals to achieve the very best quality of life and live as independently as they choose with a level of support that comfortably meets their needs.
At Brook Lodge, we believe everyone should be accepted for who they are and be involved in the wider community. We hold regular house meetings where the people we support are encouraged to voice their opinions on how the home is run. They get involved with menu planning, how their rooms are decorated, and activity planning.
We like to keep busy and consistently offer a wide range of activities. We’re always keen to seek out new opportunities that meet individual needs and interests. We work with each person we support to create their own personalised activity timetable.
Several of our housemates attend the Forest of Dean College, where they study cookery, computing, and photography. Through the college, we also access swimming, and opportunities to learn and develop important life skills.
Facilities
Our home has seven bedrooms with en-suite facilities, as well as an annex with a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen/living area.
We have gardens to the front and rear of the house, and a greenhouse for growing our own produce!
The team
We’ve nurtured a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere at Brook Lodge. Our team work hard to maintain a homely environment for the people we support.
Across the team, we have a good understanding of challenging behaviour, and identifying triggers and managing redirection, so the people we support achieve their full potential in a safe, happy way.
