Godiva Lodge care home praised by care regulator

Godiva Lodge care home in Coventry is delighted to have been classed as Good by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the second highest rating possible. 

The team at Godiva Lodge care home on Heath Crescent in Stoke Heath were celebrating after receiving the accolade.

The CQC inspectors were impressed by colleagues at Godiva Lodge stating that residents received personalised care and support from a consistent staff team who knew them well and understood their needs. Colleagues were also praised for promoting resident’s privacy and independence.

People spoke positively of living at the home and of care colleagues at Godiva Lodge. One person told the CQC, “the staff are wonderful, I couldn’t be in a better place.” Another said, “I’m happy here, they look after me.”

Ciara Monaghan, Manager of Godiva Lodge care home, was thrilled that the CQC had recognised the high standards and hard work of her team. She said:

I’m really happy that the CQC has given us a Good rating. My team work incredibly hard to make sure Godiva Lodge care home is a great place for older people to live. Getting this kind of praise from the CQC is just the sort of recognition they deserve!

We’re proud of the care we provide, the meals we make with fresh seasonal ingredients and the wide variety of meaningful activities our residents enjoy. We welcome such rigorous inspections and clear ratings so older people, and their families, can judge for themselves which homes are right for them and get the standard of care they deserve.

It’s wonderful that Godiva Lodge care home has been praised by the CQC, but it’s really no surprise to me! The staff here are really caring, and they make everyone feel like we’re part of one big family! My room is lovely, and the food is so delicious.
