Meet The Manager
Linda Martinez is Manager at Field Lodge.
Having a role in leadership is a privilege, making the resident’s and teams day is important to me.
I’m very passionate about supporting individuals living with dementia, both initiatives acknowledge a gold-tier level of care as well as heightening support for relatives thanks to a strong focus on person-centred care. From the levels of support and care, I have been shortlisted for ‘Dementia Care Manager of the Year’ at the National Care Awards 2023.
I am keen to create an inclusive environment for everyone, we celebrate all cultures and LGBTQ+ with a variety of activities. Field Lodge has a lovely homely atmosphere, I’m incredibly proud of the whole team who make the home such a comfortable place for everyone.
Field Lodge is a purpose-built care home on the outskirts of St Ives in Cambridgeshire. The home offers a range of high-quality services from residential and nursing care, to respite and specialist dementia care.
The home has been shaped by the interests of residents, with a tuck shop, contemporary café, in-house cinema and hair salon and nail bar. Each bedroom is individually decorated, spacious and complete with a widescreen TV and en-suite bathroom. Residents can also enjoy weekly activities in the lively home atmosphere.
At Field Lodge, there is a person-centred approach to care. The team takes time to get to know each resident before they move in to deliver individual care and lifestyle plans to suit their unique needs.
