Who we support

At Sobell Lodge, we specialise in supporting individuals with physical disabilities, complex needs, learning disabilities and visual impairments.

The staff at Sobell Lodge are very good to me. They work hard to meet my needs, assisting me with shopping, encouraging me to engage more with the community, and taking me to some villages and places I enjoy. The staff allow me to express myself, listen to my choices, and always welcome my opinions regarding my needs.

What support we provide

At Sobell Lodge, our dedicated team are here to help residents feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Care is tailored to their individual needs, and can include:

Help with everyday living, such as personal care, washing, bathing, dressing, and support at mealtimes.
Medication support, carefully managed by our highly trained team leaders to support health and wellbeing.
Opportunities to stay active and connected, through social activities and one‑to‑one outings based on what residents enjoy.
Welcoming and flexible family visits, making it easy for residents to spend time with their loved ones.

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.
