There is a friendly and welcoming atmosphere at Sovereign Lodge. My sister has been a resident for some time and has always said she is content there, feels safe, comfortable, is well looked after and enjoys her food. I know that she is treated with great care, patience, concern and dignity by...
The manager does indeed have a genuine "open door" policy. The attitudes of the manager and staff are reflected in the high standard of care at Sovereign Lodge and make it a good example of just how good carehome care can be.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that your sister is happy at Sovereign Lodge and that you feel reassured by the care and support we provide. Your kind words mean a lot to our whole team.

Chris has just passed his year's anniversary of going into Sovereign Lodge. His health has been very uneven this year so he has found it hard. But the staff have been kind, considerate and respectful of him as an individual with his likes and dislikes, and try to put him at his ease. As a result he has made good relationships with staff and would say some are his 'friends' rather than his carers. You rarely go into visit without hearing singing or laughter somewhere along the corridor. Activities take place most days. It is a lovely home.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased that your husband feels comfortable and has built such positive relationships with our team. Your kind words mean a great deal to us all at Sovereign Lodge.
Sovereign Lodge is a fantastic care home - the staff are so lovely & helpful. If my Dad cannot live at home, there is nowhere better than Sovereign Lodge to take care of him.

Nursing staff are diligent and fully aware of issues and have dealt with medical issues as they have arisen. Outside in the garden offers a great area for residents on sunny days with refreshments and games available in the summer house. This home has been perfect for my mum, she is happy , safe and well cared for.

As far as I can tell my sister seems quite content with her life at Sovereign Lodge. She enjoys the food and spends much of her time reading, which she has always done. The staff are polite and friendly and the home clean and tidy. I am happy that there is a nurse to help if she is poorly.

Most of last year 2025 I spent in hospital and rehabilitation, it was a tough time until I was able to get a place at Sovereign Lodge, I have been here since October. The love and care, support and faith I have been given by HCA's nurses and activity staff has been amazing. I was all over the place then but now I can think and enjoy all the wonderful things the home has to offer. The food is great, my medication is well looked after and given to me in timely fashion. I am motivated by all the activities and I love it here.
Thank you for sharing this-it truly means a lot. It's been wonderful to see your progress since you joined us in October, and we're so pleased that you're now able to enjoy everything here. Our team works hard to provide the best care possible, so your feedback about the staff, activities, and support is really appreciated. We're so glad you feel at home with us.

Sovereign Lodge Care Home is an open, friendly, welcoming home. It's security is sound, with a code to get in and another code to exit. The ground floor residents lounge is right there as one enters, and its two adjoining rooms give plenty of room for visitors to be with their friends or relatives. There is a slight shortage of chairs which isn't much of a problem if there aren't too many people. Thankfully we were fine. The staff are helpful and friendly. They are too occupied to offer guests refreshments, but there is a lot for them to do when meal times come around. The furnishings are comfortable. The bedrooms seem to be well appointed.

Our day-to-day can be challenging, but it requires commitment, motivation, and skills to make a vision into reality. I am passionate about delivering person-centred care to our residents and maintaining their independence as much as possible. It is a big adjustment for a resident to leave their own house and be in a nursing home, thus, we as a team help them feel welcomed and ensure a homely environment.
The best part of my working day is knowing that I have made a difference in someone's life and have helped them through a difficult situation. Knowing that a resident is satisfied with the care we provide is the greatest achievement for me at the end of the day."

I wished to be part of this growing company and be able to contribute my knowledge and skills, at the same time learning and growing with the company.
Before I came to Healthcare Homes I was anadministrator/receptionist for a different provider.
I think a person needs to be knowledgeable or must be willing to learn. You must be people orientated, know how to deal with different kinds of people in a friendly but professional manner. Must be well organised and know how to manage time. Stay calm.
The favourite part of my working day is being able to help out with the team. Completing tasks and being ready to accept more. Meeting new people.
The biggest professional challenge in my current role was moving from a corporate company where I had been for 5 years to a smaller but growing company. Luckily enough, after a few weeks of intensive training, I was able to adapt and settle quickly into my new home. Thanks to the most friendly and accommodating staff/residents and relatives of Sovereign Lodge and those at our operations office Apex.
My biggest career highlight to date? I am quite happy to see the progression of my career over the span of six years.
Qualities that make me stand out are;A good home manager must have good leadership and at the same time be caring and have a passionate heart. Time management is also very important.
My interests outside of work are spending time with my little boy, playing in the sand or swimming together. I also like watching movies and shopping.
I look forward to working with my colleagues who are a bunch of happy and energetic people. Meeting and greeting residents and relatives. Being productive at work – being able to accomplish all tasks given

Before joining Healthcare Homes I was a...
Sovereign Lodge has a very good name in the local community and I wished to have a more fulfilling job roleBefore joining Healthcare Homes I was a landlady at a local public house. I had always worked in the service industry.
To be good in my role I need to be bubbly, outgoing, motivated and confident. Being able to work as part of a team or take a lead role if necessary. Energetic, enthusiastic and loving the job of making people happy.
The favourite part of my working day is putting a smile on people’s faces and making a difference. Giving residents something to look forward to.
My biggest professional challenge in my current role is being diverse in the role and giving a wide variety in the activity schedule; keeping it fresh and exciting. I am undertaking a Health Care Practitioner trainee role which I am very excited about and looking forward to the outcome.
Although there have been many highlights during my time here, none more important than walking in to the lounge areas and seeing smiling, happy residents
The qualities I have to make me stand out are good leadership qualities, being able to communicate freely with staff. Good problem solving skills
Outside of work I like spending time with my family, dining out, walking and enjoying the fresh air with loved ones, watching movies and shopping
The relationships I have formed with my colleagues and residents; it’s not just a job to me. I can honestly say in my time working here, this is my family as well as my friends

I enjoy working with the staff and being part of a supportive team. I take pride in meeting residents’ expectations and resolving any problems...
I enjoy working with the staff and being part of a supportive team. I take pride in meeting residents’ expectations and resolving any problems quickly to keep the home running smoothly.

We have a great team here, and I’m passionate about providing good food for our residents.
