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.

The home is set in a beautiful rural location a short distance from the outskirts of Southend.
