I had cared for my mum during the past few months after she has been diagnosed with lung cancer. I was so sad watching her become weaker and felt very concerned what to expect. When she became very poorly and at "end-of-life" came into Sovereign Lodge, I was worried about how I would find her... she was there for dour days, but in those days, she became peaceful, relaxed and her symptoms became no worse. We all said our goodbyes, and the staff were so kind. She passed away the best possible way she could.
From our family's first contact with Sovereign Lodges staff, we knew that our beloved mum was in very safe hands. Her room was light, airy and easily made "homely".

From our family's first contact with Sovereign Lodges staff, we knew that our beloved mum was in very safe hands. Her room was light, airy and easily made "homely". Her care was exemplary, and the many kindnesses shown to her and to us, her family, are now treasured memories. Sovereign Lodge made our Mum's last few weeks wonderfully serene and happy, and for that, we express enormous gratitude. We cannot thank you enough.
Thank you for your kind words. It has been nice getting to know your family, even for short periods. It is always a pleasure to have looked after your Mum.
He is well looked after and happy in his surroundings. Staff are patient with him and happy to have a laugh and joke, even though his sense of humour can be awkward.

Thank you for taking the time to review our service. It is lovely to hear that your Dad is feeling settled and happy at Sovereign Lodge.
We have found all the staff to be very helpful and kind.

I have been visiting the service user as a friend (first introduced to her through the Alzheimer's group) weekly - (except during the Covid lockdown). I have always found the staff and managers of the care centre to be efficient, friendly and keen to make the visits as pleasant and successful as possible. I was very impressed with all Covid arrangments - testing, PPE and especially the "pod" or summerhouse in the garden.
Thank you so much for taking the time.
Kind regards.
Excellent as always. My mother is very well cared for. Her room is always spotless. The staff are very approachable. Nothing is too much trouble.

My husband was very happy here during a short stay (one month). The staff were so kind and friendly. A very nice home - large rooms and a varied menu. Plenty of choices. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend to others.

My siblings and I have been delighted with the care that our father has received at Sovereign Lodge. The standard of care has been consistently high, and the staff have gone out of their way to strike up a rapport with Dad. We all feel that Dad is very happy here.

My wife's daughter (my stepdaughter) visited from South Africa, and the thing that impressed her most, and gave her the most comfort, was the attitude and quality of all the staff. I can only agree with her. Excellent all-round. Thank you.

My experience with Sovereign Lodge has been very good. My mum seems happy with her surroundings and the staff, and the staff are always friendly and helpful to the family. We recently had to move my mum into the home permanently, and the manager was very accommodating letting us bring in her personal bits to make her room more homely. I feel that everyone has the residents as their number one priority. Well done to all.
Kind regards.

My mum moved into Sovereign Lodge in December, and she has settled well after having been really poorly in hospital. I have met a number of staff who have been welcoming, friendly and cheerful. Mum keeps saying she is safe here and ware and doesn't;t want to move anywhere else. I believe there has been a real answer to our prayers, that God has blessed my mum by providing such a beautiful home with beautiful carers.
Kind regards,
Home Manager.

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

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
