My mother has been a resident for 24 months and celebrated her 100th birthday very recently. The enthusiasm by the staff of the event and the organisation that took place to get involvement from the community, entertainment, as with additional catering for the afternoon party was amazing. The staff worked very hard, and the family are very grateful.
Thankyou for taking the time to review our home. We absolutely loved celebrating Mum's 100th birthday with her, and working together with our local community to make this day extra special.

Very welcoming environment, especially reception. Reception staff always welcoming & helpful. Activities staff lovely and enthusiastic. Room & communal areas always pristine. Staff on the floors bit more variable but generally very kind. It is sometimes difficult to find staff on the floor. Sometimes a few of them are sitting by residents just scrolling through their phone, which seems a bit unprofessional. Otherwise all great - thank you.

Thank you for your lovely review, I will share your feedback with the team as this is really important to us. We have switched to a digital care planning system recently, so this will be why you see staff using their handsets to document care and support given in communal areas. We document all care given in real-time to improve the accuracy of our documentation, and to free up staff time to be able to spend engaging with residents. If you'd like to share any further comments with me at all, my door is always open to chat.
I really enjoyed my weeks stay - no problems whatsoever.

Thankyou for your wonderful review, we loved having you here to stay with us and look forward to seeing you again soon.
We had a lovely lunch today lemon chicken, mash and veg. Dad prefers everything separate (rather than like a stew). He loves the fruit at the start rather than soup. Maybe over summer they could have salads? Dad loves all the puddings.

Thankyou for your kind words and lovely review of the care we give for Dad. We hold quarterly menu planning meetings with our residents, and most definitely will include some cold options for the summer. We will make sure your comments about Dad's food are passed to the team to incorporate into his support plans.

Arriving at the home I immediately felt part of a genuinely caring community. All the staff were wonderful, caring and professional. The accommodation was of a high standard, the food was excellent and the activities for residents enjoyable and varied. I was sad to leave, and should I need respite or longer-term care in the future, I would choose Cepen Lodge without hesitation. Thank you to all the staff and residents for making my stay so enjoyable and life-affirming.

Hi, my name is Jade, and I am the Senior General Manager here at Cepen Lodge. Welcome to our website!
I started working in care at 18 and knew I’d found my calling. I quickly progressed through various roles and completed all of my qualifications, becoming Home Manager 5 years later. I’m really passionate about high-quality person-centred dementia care, and this has always been really important to me, especially as a Manager, to support my team in providing. My favourite part of the job is meeting all of our residents, and finding out about their life histories and backgrounds – I’ve met some really interesting people throughout my career, and think life history plays such a vital part in someone’s care. Now I hope to use the skills I’ve learned throughout the years to provide excellent care to those at Cepen Lodge.
Please feel free to give me a call or pop in for a visit; we would be more than happy to show you our beautiful home.

Hi, I’m Ollie, Head of Maintenance here at Cepen Lodge.
Having worked for over 17 years in the construction industry, I bring a wealth of skills. My previous roles have included working within care settings, care homes and day centres for those living with dementia.

Being Head of Maintenance, my focus is to provide the best support to our residents. No one day is the same, and it's a privilege to get to know each of our residents. As a local man, I can chat about the area and what they remember as I work.
