This was a new step for us and from the outset we knew that the team at the Lodge had my Fathers care at the forefront of their minds. We initially met with Jo and Chloe who put our minds at rest, but the entire team creates a warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly environment that feels much more like a loving family home than a care facility. Every single member of the staff treats residents with the utmost respect, patience, and tenderness. Seeing my father settled, comfortable, and surrounded by affection gave me peace of mind.
The Lodge focuses on residents safety and a relaxed, comfortable lifestyle. The staff ensuring a secure environment where residents can move around confidently and comfortably. Knowing my father was completely safe and looked after around the clock allowed us to rest during his respite stay.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We are delighted to hear that your father felt comfortable, safe, and well cared for during his respite stay with us. It was our privilege to support him and your family, and your recommendation means a great deal to the entire team. Thank you for placing your trust in The Lodge.

My career within care started in 1989 when I have appointed the role of Care Assistant in a care home setting close to Potters Bar, Hertfordshire – an opportunity that led to my promotion to Assistant Manager in 1993. 1999 was a landmark in my category, one that saw my progress on to become Acting Home Manager, before being appointed a registered Home Manager in 2004. With a great number of years of experience, I felt confident enough to apply for the same role at The Lodge in 2014 – one that to date inspired me with a continual learning curve, and better fulfilled my passion for delivering person-specific residential and specialist dementia care.
