NATIONAL ACTIVITY PROVIDER ASSOCIATION

At Soham Lodge, we are a proud registered member of NAPA, the National Activity Provider Association and our Activities Coordinator is a NAPA registered Level 3 Team Leader. Our residents receive the highest standards of activity provision.

NEW RESIDENTS

At Soham Lodge we are always delighted to welcome new residents. We work together with the resident, family, and friends to put together a tailored activity care plan with goals and preferences.

Our activity provision is very person-centred and designed to promote the individual’s autonomy, choice and independence.

Soham Lodge cared for my Dad, they always treated him with respect and dignity. We were all made to feel very at home and knowing he was in such good hands made those last days much easier, thank you all.

Sally Bentick

Big thanks to Catherine, the night nurse at Soham Lodge Care Home. My 96 year old Mum is having a Respite stay at Soham, Only there a few days and I just wanted to see how she was getting along.Called at 10pm Sunday night and was answered by Catherine. She gave me a clear and honest appraisal of Mum’s general well-being, mobility and how she was interacting. All very reassuring at this difficult time in her life.

What steps are taken for safety?

VISITING THE CARE CENTRE

We have built a social distanced family room separate from the care centre. It is a safe space for both the residents and visitors to enjoy. The room is divided into two by a large glass panel. It has two doors; the residents enter from their enclosed garden area while visitors enter from the visitors’ car park to ensure a safe environment for everyone. It has the latest UV disinfectant technology for safety, an Echo Dot and a two-way speaker system. The family room is disinfected between visits, we allow thirty minutes for this process which also prevents a crossover of visitors.

Following changes to the Public Health England guidelines, we now have the facility for designated visitors to visit their relatives in a specific room inside the care centre which is also disinfected between visits. Please book your visit in advance by contacting Soham Lodge Care Centre.

Friends and family can now speak with the residents virtually via our video call service. Video call appointments can be made by contacting Soham Lodge. A team member will facilitate or assist with the video call.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

We pride ourselves at Soham Lodge in our involvement with the local community. We have worked incredibly hard to maintain a lively and varied range of activities throughout as we know how important this is to the residents’ wellbeing. Since the beginning of the pandemic residents have taken part in many community engagement projects – Soham Write and Unite, The Babylon Arts “Somewhere in Ely” Art project, TikTok dance challenge project, Postcards of kindness, VE memories intergenerational project with local schools, intergenerational penpal projects and a virtual masquerade ball which featured a live operatic performance sponsored by G’s a local produce company. As the lockdown eases, we will commence community engagement for the residents to go on outings in their community. We will also begin to welcome back live entertainment.

Residents continue to have good links with their community and recently won first prize at The Virtual Soham Pumpkin Fair for their poetry entry. Residents have set up and now host their own weekly radio show called “Golden Oldies” on a local radio station. We have weekly live performances within the centre from various artists, we host monthly themed dining experiences and residents take part in a weekly Tech Club learning how to shop online, send an email and to make a video call on their devices.
