Caring Through Understanding

At Shedfield Lodge, we believe care is about more than meeting needs — it’s about truly understanding each individual. Our philosophy, “Caring Through Understanding,” guides everything we do.

We take the time to see the world through the eyes of those living with dementia. By valuing life stories, recognising individuality, and respecting dignity, we create care that is personal, compassionate, and meaningful.

Care Built Around You

Every person is unique — so is their care. We take time to understand individual histories, preferences, and needs, creating support that feels truly personal.

Walking the Path Together

We see dementia as a journey, not a label. By stepping into the world of the person we care for, we can provide comfort, connection, and reassurance every step of the way.

Knowledge That Cares

Our team are trained to the highest standards in dementia care. Continuous learning means we can provide support that is safe, skilled, and always rooted in compassion.

Recognised for Excellence

Shedfield Lodge is proud to be recognised for our approach to dementia care. Awards reflect not only our expertise but the dedication of our team to doing what’s right, every day.

A Home That Feels Like Home

We create safe, calming spaces designed with dementia in mind. From familiar surroundings to gentle routines, our environment helps residents feel secure, settled, and valued.

Moments That Matter

From music to gardening, arts to conversation, we believe in the power of meaningful activity. Every day is filled with opportunities to spark joy, stimulate memory, and build connections.

Stronger Together

We’re proud partners of Care Campaign for the Vulnerable and other advocacy initiatives. By working together, we can champion better care and greater understanding across the sector.

A Home in the Heart of the Community

Shedfield Lodge is more than a care home — it’s part of the local community. We run dementia awareness sessions, open our doors for events, and work with local groups to build inclusivity.

Together, Always

Families are an essential part of the journey. We provide support, guidance, and open communication, ensuring loved ones remain at the heart of care.

Meet The Team

Co-Proprietor

Andrew Geach MCGI

My name is Andrew Geach and I have been in the care sector since 2001. It is a family run business, after assisting my father with two other care homes he owned for many years previously.

Since my fathers retirement I have involved my own family and currently have 2 of my children working in the care home.

On leaving school at seventeen, I joined the Royal Navy as a Paramedic and served 7 years, reaching the dizzy heights of Leading Medical Assistant (Operating Theatre)

During my time in the Royal Navy, I trained in Norway in the Surgical Support Team and served on the hospital ship, RFA Argus, during the Gulf War. Most of my time was in the Operating Theatre at RNH Haslar, assisting Surgeons and Anaesthetists, after a further two years medical training on top of the medic training.

On leaving the Royal Navy in 1992, I joined the Hampshire Constabulary, serving ten years in Portsmouth as a Police Constable, driving the Area Response Vehicle.

It is an honour to go full circle and go back to my roots of medicine and looking after those living with a dementia.

I am passionate about my job within the care home and attend most days. I have a great care team and together we make an outstanding home to live and work in.
