Press Release following our recent CQC inspection

The Lodge Trust Responds to CQC Report with Commitment to Enhanced Care Standards

12 December 2023 – Following the recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) report, The Lodge Trust acknowledges the revised rating of 'Requires Improvement'.

We are very disappointed with this and would like to express our sincere regret for any concerns this has caused especially to our residents and their families. The Lodge has a long history of providing good quality compassionate and specialised care to adults with learning disabilities.

In order to address the points raised in the report we have initiated a comprehensive action plan and will work tirelessly with all our stakeholders to make the required improvements. We would draw attention to the many positives in the report and particularly acknowledge the hard work and responsiveness of our whole staff team who are commended for caring with warmth, compassion and dignity. We would urge a full reading of the report.

A number of improvements have already been made and over the coming weeks our goal is to restore and surpass the high standards The Lodge Trust is known for. We have full confidence in our whole staff team, and with their continued dedication and support from our stakeholders, we will achieve this.

We very much appreciate the ongoing trust and support of our residents, their families, our staff, volunteers and wider community. Regular updates on our progress will be provided on our website.

An update from our Café Team

Opening times: 9.30am-4pm Monday to Friday
 
Our Café is now open again. We are open from 9.30am-4pm during the week, serving hot and cold drinks, breakfast rolls, light lunches, snacks, cakes and ice creams. We look forward to welcoming you back.

As we open we would love to share with you our vision for the café: The Lodge Trust CIO Café aims to be a real life work experience for our residents. In reopening we are offering a smaller menu that will change more frequently and we will try, where possible, to use the produce we grow in our grounds and other products we make on site.
We are partnering with local suppliers who have been teaching us more about the products they provide. We aim to make everything fresh and make as much as we can in-house.

One thing we have learned over the last couple of years is that some of our residents are fantastic bakers. So do pop along and come and try one of our homemade cakes. We are looking forward to seeing you all again soon!
