Meet The Manager

Carol Curtis is Registered Manager at Lighthouse Lodge.

From the moment I entered Lighthouse Lodge, I knew it was the place for me. It is instantly apparent that every team member is there because they truly care and want to make a difference in our residents’ lives.

At Lighthouse Lodge we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming home-from-home atmosphere that, at its core, delivers quality person-centred care and services that meet the individual needs of each resident.

With our vast experience and knowledge of caring for those in residential care, we’ve developed a service that provides a smooth transition for those moving into Lighthouse Lodge. This is our residents’ home; we are here to support them in the best way we can and consider them a part of our extended family.

Our Team at Lighthouse Lodge welcomes you to drop in and visit anytime, we look forward to seeing you.
