The staff at Sobell Lodge are very good to me.

We take time to get to know our residents, so that the care and support they receive feels right for them, now and into the future.
I have a great rapport with the residents, and I find the other staff at Sobell Lodge to be wonderful. Despite their busy schedules, they still manage to find time to laugh and bring smiles to the residents' faces. The residents are well cared for by both the staff and myself. I enjoy coming to Sobell Lodge because of its pleasant atmosphere.
