Jade Hodge
Hello, 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 am really passionate about providing high quality care, and this has always been really important to me especially as Manager. 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. My vision for Cepen Lodge is to create a 'home from home' environment where our residents are at the heart of our community .
My hope is to use the skills I’ve learnt 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.
