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 Mumās 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 visitorsā 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

Since the beginning of the pandemic residents have taken part in many community engagement projects ā Soham Write and Unite, The Babylon Arts āSomewhere in Elyā 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 Gās 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 āGolden Oldiesā on a local radio station.
