Meet The Manager
Lisa Goodall is Manager at Moorgate Lodge.
Lisa is a multi-skilled and highly trained Registered Mental Health Nurse by profession. She brings a plethora of care skills to her role as Nursing Home Manager at Moorgate Lodge and we are indeed lucky to have her. Lisa has built an impressive CV over the years, with both the NHS and the private sector and we are supremely confident that the needs of our clients are very safe in her hands, however challenging they may be.
Her insatiable appetite for continuous professional development has served her well, whilst demonstrating the ability to turn around negative situations she has been faced with into positives, a skill set never needed more than in recent times that we all know only too well.
Moorgate Care Village, just a short distance from Rotherham town centre and very close to Rotherham A & E Hospital, offers the very best care for the elderly and infirm in luxurious surroundings. The homes are surely the finest care homes in the area, boasting the very best facilities all round. All rooms are spacious, with en-suites along with acres of day space. Wide corridors connect all public areas, with a touch of class throughout.
There are three care homes within the complex, Moorgate Croft, Moorgate Lodge and Moorgate Hollow. All 3 homes sit comfortably on this picturesque site, with extensive long distance views across Rotherham and the moors of South Yorkshire beyond.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

| Our Building and Facilities |

Built in the 1990s by a developer who ensured well into the future that the buildings would remain “future proof”, even now one seldom sees homes built to this quality of specification. In terms of facilities offered to our residents, it would be hard to find anywhere better equipped to offer standards of care for the 21st Century |
