Within the home you will also find our Q Club day care service – a place where those living within the community can spend the day with us. Take a look at our Q Club day care page to find our more about day care.

You will find a wide range of communal areas at Vesta Lodge including lounges, cosy corners, dining rooms and more. You are free to spend your time with others, or you can enjoy the privacy of your own room. Each bedroom at Vesta Lodge is fully furnished with en-suite facilities, but you are welcome to bring in your own possessions and make it your own.

At Vesta Lodge you will also find our Best Friends Café where you can enjoy tea, coffee and homemade cakes with visiting family and friends.

Within the home we have a designated Activity Care Worker who is on hand to plan a wide range of activities for you to enjoy. From arts and crafts and light exercise, to entertainment and days out - you are sure to find something to get involved with, and you can take part in as much or as little as you like.

Q-Club

Q-Club

Welcome to Vesta Lodge Q Club. Open Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm, our St Albans club offers day guests the opportunity to make new friends, whilst taking part in a choice of activities.

Most of our day care centres are attached to one of our care homes which means that many of the facilities available to our full time residents are also available to our day care guests - such as a visit to the hairdresser (booked directly with the centre). 

Our Q Club Co-ordinator at Vesta Lodge is Ella Taylor, and she would be delighted to welcome your family member into our St Albans club. Ella says “Our Q Club is a social club for the older person. We pride ourselves on listening to the views of our members with regard to activities and any needs they may have. We offer a variety of activities, including our own take on the game show “the wheel of fortune”, as well as tasting sessions with tropical fruits, cakes and chocolate! We also offer table top gardening, general knowledge and musical quizzes, and snack making, with past recipes having included eton mess!  We have a jovial atmosphere, with laughter, fun and conversation, and our team make sure each of our members are included in all that we do.”

Coni Anang
Home Manager
People are especially important to me, I love seeing the difference training, development and praise make in the lives of our staff, who in turn make our residents safe and happy.

 

Ebunoluwa Awofisayo
Deputy Manager
The Deputy Home Manager shares responsibility with the Home Manager for running the home. Deputy Manager’s will each bring their own skill set to the home, some offering more assistance with the business side of things while others focus largely on care. However, whether they look at it from a business or care perspective, the focus of the Deputy is always to ensure that their home is offering the very best quality of life for our residents. Experienced and either holding or working towards their qualifications, Deputy Home Managers are capable and driven to providing the best of everything for their residents.
Ecko Eghobamien
Chef Manager
The Chef Manager organises every aspect of the catering operation and provides a safe, nutritious, quality service to our residents using freshly produced food. With a hands-on role, leading a team, they provide a quality catering service and help create a warm and friendly atmosphere for our residents. Working with our residents they help to create menus to meet their needs and suit their tastes. They also create and provide fine dining events, using Quantum Care’s award-winning Dining Club concept.

Solomon Florinel
Housekeeping Manager

Keeping the team of Housekeepers running as it should is the Housekeeping Manager. Supervising and organising their teams is just part of it as these Managers work alongside them to keep the home clean and inviting. The comfort of residents is the most important thing to our Housekeeping Managers which is why they work so hard to create an environment in which residents can’t help but feel at home. 

Amila Blazevic
Administrator

The Administrator will focus on the smooth running of the home; in whatever area they may be needed. From greeting visitors to recruiting, the Administrator is present in many aspects of life in the home, even if you don’t always see them! To be successful in the role, our Administrators have to be flexible and calm, able to multi-task and always keen to take on a new challenge. It’s often the Administrator that brings the IT skills to a home, helping them to keep everything organised. Above that though, Administrators are communicators, able to speak confidently and listen closely to everyone from Managers and Care Workers to visitors and residents.

Mutahara Khanom
Receptionist

The Receptionist plays a key part in keeping the home operating as it should. The role involves everything from dealing with phone enquiries to showing around prospective residents. Organisational and communication skills are a must for a Receptionist as it’s these qualities that allow them to make life in the home easier for their colleagues and residents. Often the first person you’ll speak to when you come to the home, the Receptionist represents the company with a professional manner, friendly approach, and commitment to high-quality care.
