Residential Elderly & Dementia Care in Newcastle

At Sovereign Lodge we have several lounge areas where residents can watch TV and movies, listen to music or play games, depending on their mood. We also have the Forget-me-not-Café where we serve high tea at least once a week and The Silver Saloon where our residents can sit and have a tipple in good company. We have a variety of entertainment on each month including singers, animal therapy, cocktail afternoons, singalongs and presentations. Every other Thursday we have our knit and natter group and the first Tuesday of each month our local church comes in to hold a small service with any residents who wish to join in.

Dining is a big part of life here at Sovereign Lodge. All meals are prepared fresh on the day either by our Head Chef Gary or second chef Robert ably assisted by kitchen assistants Kirsty and Gemma. We have a four-week set menu, however if you aren’t keen on the choices that day, alternatives are available. Our menus are reviewed regularly, and our residents’ input is welcomed. So, if there’s something you feel is missing from the menu, tell one of the kitchen staff and we’ll get it added.

Mealtimes are a focal part of any day and nutritional well-being is vital to maintaining a healthy mind and body. We cater for those with special diets. Times are as follows: Breakfast from 0800, Lunch from 1230 and dinner from 1630. Drinks, snacks and nibbles including fresh fruit are also provided throughout the day between meals and on a night-time.
