Thank you very much for taking the time to submit your review, and for your excellent and good scores, particularly for residents being treated with dignity and for our activities at Elizabeth Lodge. I’m sorry to hear your comments around residents being taken down in time to take part in entertainment – I would like to assure you that the home manager has fed this back to the activity team and will ensure better coordination in future so that all residents that wish to can join in. Many thanks again, and please do not hesitate to let us know now or at any time in the future if you have any comments, questions or feedback and we’ll be happy to help.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review for Elizabeth Lodge. In regards to the staffing levels in the home, we always make sure that we have enough team members to run the home safely and effectively, both throughout the day as well as night, seven days a week. Sometimes, particularly to cover team holidays and illness, this does include the use of agency staff. Although these individuals are always fully trained and experienced, we do realise that this is no substitute for people working permanently in the home who are able to build long lasting relationships with residents. However, I am very happy to let you know that recruitment of permanent team members is one of our big focuses at Elizabeth Lodge – as such we have already seen a reduction in use of agency staff as a result, and we hope to welcome more new team members very soon. In regards to the floors, we do have a dedicated housekeeping team and cleanliness is monitored daily across all suites. We are now also undertaking regular shampooing of corridor carpets and will be monitoring this closely going forwards. Toiletries are not provided but of course we can support residents in purchasing of these if needed. Thank you again for your feedback, and of course please do let the home manager or any of the senior team know at any time now or in the future if you have any concerns, suggestions or questions, and we’ll be happy to help.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Elizabeth Lodge, and particularly for your kind comments regarding the activity as well as the care team at the home. I’m very sorry to hear some of the problems your mother has experienced - I understand you have already spoken with a member of the senior management team regarding your concerns and please rest assured that we take these very seriously. It seems we have fallen short in the high quality of care we usually offer at the home and I do apologise. We always try to limit the use of agency staff but sometimes this is unavoidable, for example, to cover team holidays or illness, and all agency staff do receive a full induction from either the suite manager or deputy manager – we have fed back to these team members and will make sure that the issues you’ve raised with bed adjustment are covered within this at all times in future to make sure this does not happen again. The agency staff do wear different uniforms so they are distinguishable from the permanent team members in the home, and should any resident or family member accidentally mistake them for nursing staff rather than a carer when they need a nurse, of course, they would let them know and locate a nurse for them. In regards to the suite where you mother is placed, this does have some residents with mixed needs currently and the team at the home work hard to make sure that every resident has an environment and activity plan that’s suited to their needs.

I’m a nurse by training. I obtained a nursing degree in the Philippines and qualified as a nurse in the UK. I worked in the NHS here before making the move into the care home sector. I was keen to gain experience in a different setting, where I could make a difference to older people and get to know the people I care for. I’ve been working for Care UK since 2004.
Like any home manager worth their salt, I take pride in ensuring that we’re delivering superb care to every resident of Elizabeth Lodge. I’m focused on improving all aspects of what we do here. What makes it easier is that I have such a dedicated and supportive team. I love motivating and inspiring them to fulfil their potential while achieving excellent outcomes for our residents.
Although I’ve been a home manager for some time, I still get a buzz out of the simple things – like walking around the home, greeting residents and their families, and seeing everyone enjoying time together.
