Home from home - there is no need to be lonely

Old age is something that creeps up on us all sooner or later.

To some it is a frightening prospect – alone with family spread throughout the country, and sometimes the world; exposed to the harsh and sometimes violent reality of our modern day life.

In times gone by the family unit was strong, with as many as four, or even five generations, living under the same roof. There was always someone around to care for Gran or Granddad – children to run errands and adults to help feed and dress.

Looking beyond these practicalities, there was always one reassuring fact – other people’s company meant there was never any loneliness.

Loneliness is the emotional affliction of the 20th & 21st centuries; it can also be a powerful short cut to an early grave, particularly when an elderly person’s partner passes away.

This may come as a bleak picture, but there is a choice, a ray of light at the end of an otherwise dark and gloomy tunnel!

Nursing & Residential Homes, fully licensed and inspected and effectively managed by sincere, sympathetic and conscientious staff, have moved into the current century. They provide the perfect environment for the aged and infirm providing them with peace, comfort and contentment.

Homes like Burnham Lodge provide the perfect setting for people to spend their later years.
