Each morning, a carer will likely be the first person who a resident sees. Care staff will be there throughout the day: at mealtimes, when personal care is needed, during activities and whenever a resident just fancies a chat.<\/p>\n<p>So, getting the right staff. Staff with bright, sunny personalities that make your day, has always been a top priority of ours at Cedar Lodge. Fortunately, we\u2019ve been blessed with a great team.<\/p>\n<p>As you\u2019ll read below, a lot of our care staff have been with us for ten years; with others that have worked in care for even longer.<\/p>\n<p>Most live within a stone\u2019s throw from the home or in nearby villages. We see this as a real asset. Each day, staff will bring all sorts of village news and goings-on to our residents &#8211; making them feel that they quite rightly remain at the heart of their community.<\/p>\n<p>All our staff are well trained and take pride in working at Cedar Lodge. We are experts in the safe moving &amp; handling of people, first aid, dementia awareness and infection control.

Brother and sister, they make a winning duo.<\/p>\n<p>Rupert started as a care assistant at a local home, before working his way up to become the Registered Manager of Cedar Lodge in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Rupert\u2019s our jack-of-all trades. If you visit the care home, you could find him working in the office, chatting with residents, or putting down new carpets; there\u2019s not a task to which he won\u2019t lend some expertise. Rupert\u2019s easy to spot too; he\u2019s very tall !<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Victoria hails from a hospitality background. In 2018, she decided to join the family business and has never looked back. She now uses her experience in catering as the care home&#8217;s Catering Director &#8211; planning menus, completing our weekly food shop and liaising with the cooks.<\/p>\n<p>Both siblings live and breathe care. In many ways, they\u2019ve been doing so their whole lives. Grandmother, Sue, used to run a care home; as did their mum, Sally, who progressed from a care home chef to a manager. Dad, Mark, also works in the sector; where he brokers finance for UK care businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Rupert and Victoria feel strongly about providing the best quality care for every individual who has made Cedar Lodge their home. Moreover, they\u2019ve got the qualifications\u00a0 to back it up. Both hold an NVQ Level 5 in Health &amp; Social Care. Rupert also holds a Degree in Dementia Studies.<\/p>\n<p>Cedar Lodge is a small home and as directors, Rupert and Victoria love how this gives them the opportunity to be hands-on with the needs of every resident.<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one is considering care, Rupert and Victoria would be delighted to help.
