Brilliant. I have always had enormous admiration and respect not without affection for the staff and management of Sovereign Lodge. I have been even more impressed by how they have coped during this pandemic and lockdown. Despite the difficulties, they will have inevitably encountered, they have taken the time to allow me to video call my dear friend twice a week and to keep me updated with bulletins about activities and birthdays they have celebrated during lockdown. They are never too busy to ask after my own health and have shown great courage, patience and professionalism. They are a shining example of how to care for our frail and elderly loved ones. Thank you, all at Sovereign Lodge.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the home and staff team. It is always lovely to talk to you and to see how your dear friends is in herself.
I will be sharing this with the team as it is so important for them to hear from relatives.
Kind regards

My family and I would also say a big thank you to everyone at Sovereign Lodge for the care they gave to my brother-in-law, who has since passed away. You all are doing a really magnificent job.
Thank you so much for spending the time to tell us of your experience with the home with such positive words. I will share your feedback with the staff team as it is so good to hear from relatives. It was a pleasure to look after her and you could always have a giggle with her.

I would like to express my warmest thanks to the manager and her wonderful, caring team at Sovereign Lodge for looking after my Mum in her final weeks. All staff treated Mum with respect and dignity and showed great kindness and support to me. Mum was transferred from hospital to Sovereign Lodge and I couldn't have wished for better care. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sovereign Lodge.
Dear Sharon, it is lovely to have read your feedback and I will read this out to the staff team as it is so important for them to hear your experience of Mum's time with us. It was lovely to have supported you during this difficult time and do call into the home when you are in the area. Kind regards, Home Manager.
Upon visiting Sovereign Lodge, I was pleasantly surprised at the overall care, attention and assistance offered to the residents by the staff. This contributed to a feeling of relaxation and homeliness throughout the home. Well done to all.

Dear Ian, it is lovely to hear your feedback and I will be passing this on to the staff team. I look forward to seeing you at the home soon. Kind regards, Home Manager.
I have been visiting Sovereign House for over a year. The building and staff are always neat, clean and tidy. The staff are approachable, friendly and always willing to help. Most importantly, the residents are well looked after and are made comfortable. The meals are well presented and tasty.

Thank you for your review card on the home, I do appreciate you taking the time to let us know your thoughts. It is a delight to look after your husband and now that we have given his wheelchair an upgrade, you can both enjoy your weekly trips out along the seafront.

Mum was at Sovereign Lodge for a short time but the care and compassion she received was fantastic. The staff were really friendly and helpful when we went to the home. It was very clean and Mum's room was really spacious.

When I arrived, I was put in a room where I was not comfortable. My husband spoke to the manager and it was quickly put right which I was very pleased about. Can't complain, I had a nice comfortable stay. Staff are excellent, couldn't ask for more. Thank you all very much.

Although my aunt was only at Sovereign Lodge for just over a month before her death she was always treated with great care, respect and dignity. The staff were very sensitive to our needs too.

My husband has been in Sovereign Lodge for three years and I have been very pleased with the service and care that he has received. The management and staff are always welcome to hear of any problems, however minor and they are resolved almost immediately. They have a team of dedicated carers there...
I feel truly grateful that my husband is in a home such as Sovereign Lodge.
Thank you so much and I will let the team know about your feedback, however, you are a kind relative that also tells them when you visit, which is so important. It is a joy to look after your husband and yourself too. I look forward to seeing your smile when you visit each day.

The care given to my mum was excellent. The regular staff are so caring and personal to both residents and their families. Sometimes, mum had to wait too long for a response to her call, as she was bed-bound. I personally think this was more to do with how the place was managed eg, at mealtimes staff were busy. Perhaps staff should be split between caring, responding to buzzers and providing meals?
In reply to your concern about the call bells, I believe for me to give you reassurance is to explain the system. When a bell is rung, it generates a print out in the...
Thank you for your feedback and letting us know the care given to your Mum was excellent. I will pass this onto my staff team.In reply to your concern about the call bells, I believe for me to give you reassurance is to explain the system. When a bell is rung, it generates a print out in the admin office of the time and room number, when staff reset the call bell this is also printed stating the time. Every 24 hours the paper print is reviewed, I will then investigate each one of these. We also use an allocation system for the staff to ensure that all aspects of care are covered, our staffing ratio meets the dependency scores within the home, however, at times it may feel like we do not have enough staff as it is a very busy home.
I hope my explanation gives you the reassurance that we have safe systems in the home to monitor the health and wellbeing of our residents.
Kind regards
Home Manager
My husband and I have always found the care and attention given is excellent. They meet my sister and brother-in-laws needs superbly well.

My friend has been in the home for 10 months, and I have seen the difference in her demeanour from when she was in her own home and looking after herself where she was so lonely. Thanks go to all for doing such a good job.

My partner has been in Sovereign Lodge for 6 months now. He is blind and paralysed so cannot move at all without help. All his personal care is done by carers, always kindly and with dignity. I visit daily and have myself been treated well. He and his room etc are always clean.

Dear Michael, thank you so much for your feedback, it is so wonderful for one of my residents to share how their living experience with us is going. We look forward to continuing to support you at Sovereign Lodge.
My stepmother came to Sovereign Lodge straight from the hospital. Although she was close to the end she was treated wonderfully by the staff and I believe passed without pain and with dignity. Thank you so much.

My father was placed in the care of Sovereign Lodge, his care was beyond kindness, compassion and a true home from home. My father sadly passed away on 23 June 2019. I can honestly say I could not have wished for it to be anywhere else. Brilliant staff, wonderful care and all I can say is THANK YOU.

Dear Anna, I was so happy to read your feedback on your journey, we try to give kindness to all our residents. I will pass on your thanks to the staff team. Kind regards.
The complete experience of the care centre was fantastic from my mother arriving, to her passing away. The facility, staff and support were excellent in the short time she was there. Even after her death, the staff could not be more helpful and sympathetic.

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

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.
