Meet The Manager
Kim Mears is Family Liaison Manager at Bucklers Lodge.
I support families like yours every day, and know that choosing a care home can feel, well, a bit scary.
That’s why, for over 25 years, at Greensleeves Care we have worked to make moving into care less daunting. I’m excited to show you what Buckler’s Lodge has to offer.
It all starts with our 6-week no-obligation trial, so you get to try before committing longer term. Our approach to care means you get skill with a smile, a nice cup of tea before you even realise you want one, and a joke when you need it. We think that’s all part of good caring.
As a charity, our focus is on people, not pockets. And our Home for Life Commitment means you’ll never be asked to leave if your funds run out. Because that’s part of good caring too.
A leading non-profit care home in Bracknell Forest, Buckler’s Lodge is a modern 80-bed care home located in the picturesque area of Crowthorne, Berkshire. The home is set in over two acres of grounds surrounded by unspoiled countryside and forest.
Buckler’s Lodge features state-of-the-art décor and facilities including spacious en-suite bedrooms, comfortable lounges, bistro, private dining room, library and cinema. The home provides high-quality residential and dementia care.
The home is managed by Greensleeves Care, a charitable provided consistently named as a 'Top 20' care group in England. Greensleeves Care homes offer unique assurances including a flexible trials of up to six weeks, so families can choose with confidence, and its Home for Life Commitment, which means no resident is asked to leave in the event their funds run out while in care.
