Meet The Manager

Luke Baldock is Registered Manager at Joseph Lodge.

As an experienced Registered Manager working in the Adult Social Care sector and NHS for over 20 years, my passion for providing excellent quality care delivered with kindness and compassion remains fundamentally at the heart of what I do. I am very proud to lead the team here at Joseph Lodge where every member of staff follows the same ethos as myself.

I am equally passionate about Joseph Lodge's involvement with the local community we will strive to make ourselves integrated with the local community with involvement in local schools, taking on volunteers and working with local organizations.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.

What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe

We are working within the government guidelines to help protect our staff and clients.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.
Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
