Meet The Manager

Alicia Taskis is Home Manager at Shedfield Lodge.

Having been in the care industry for over 20 years, my experience has been gained in Nursing, Residential and EMI settings with BUPA and Independent providers. My roles have encompassed most elements of caring about people at various stages of their lives with varying cognitive ability.

I first joined the care team at Shedfield Lodge in 2010 and progressed to the role of Care Plan Co-ordinator in 2013 and then to Head of Care in 2016 before becoming the Registered Manager in 2017. Having gained a QCF Level 5 Diploma in Leadership For Health and Social Care, I am currently undertaking a Level 7 Diploma.

My mission is to provide a truly person-centred approach to care that recognises and values each individuals uniqueness, treats them with dignity and respect and understands the world from their prospective in an environment that supports their psychological needs ensuring their personhood, throughout.

Alicia Taskis

Everyone living at Shedfield Lodge is valued and supported to live as full and purposeful life, while maintaining and regaining independence, where possible. We understand the uniqueness of every individual and provide a social environment that supports the requirements of each individual, enabling them to be the person they want to be, maintaining dignity, stimulating minds and giving a sense of purpose.

By understanding the world from the prospective of the person experiencing a Dementia, we are able to offer specialist care, centred around each individual ensuring inclusion, respect and choice.

Our Building and Facilities

Shedfield Lodge was built in the 1800's as a Manor House set in the Victorian Rural Pastures at the heart of the Meon Valley, close to the select villages of Shedfield and Wickham. We are only a few minutes from Fareham. To this day the building has been restored to reflect the original design and this is now a long established care home, specialising in dementia, for the elderly. Set in our own quiet equestrian grounds housing a recently restored stable area, we benefit from many horses and Shetland ponies grazing the surrounding fields. We have a beautiful landscaped garden featuring a fishpond with easy access for wheelchair users.
