Sigita Kaleja is Care Home Manager at Saxonwood.
"I started working in care in 2010 and worked my way from Care Assistant, through senior care roles, Deputy Manager to finally being the Care Home Manager.
I am passionate about my work. I enjoy the variety of meeting new people and supporting them at time when they need help and reassurance. I absolutely love bringing energy and creativity to every activity and watch how residents’ faces light up.
Residents are at the very centre of our family. Everything I do is with their wellbeing and happiness in mind. Each member of our team is dedicated in giving the best care and making a positive difference to residents’ lives every day."
Saxonwood is set in beautiful grounds in the heart of the historic town of Battle and within easy walking distance of the town centre.
Our mission is to help people live their later life to the full and that’s exactly what we do here at Saxonwood. We have a daily activities programme which promotes independence and encourages residents to enjoy their life long hobbies or try something new.
Each resident has a personalised care plan tailored to meet their needs. We offer short and long stays, end of life care and are dementia friendly. We are a registered residential care home for people over 65 years old.
We are delighted to have been awarded a ‘good’ rating by the CQC and we have a 5* food hygiene certificate.
We want residents to treat Saxonwood as their own home, so they can welcome visitors at any time, along with pets and enjoy visits outside of the home. We are proud of our gold award from the RSPCA for our pet policy.

If you or your loved one decide to make a permanent move into one of our care homes you will have your own room. We encourage residents to personalise their room with their own belongings so they can create a homely feel and make it their own. For example, you can bring your own bed, furniture, chairs, pictures and television. The majority of our rooms are en-suite and we also have a few double rooms which can accommodate two people. Each room has a telephone connection so residents can have their own landline number and wi-fi. We also have guest wi-fi access throughout our care homes. Every room has a television aerial and an emergency call system in the bedroom and bathroom. We also offer residents a pendant to wear which is linked to the call system. |

Activities Are So Important |
---|
Our activities Our mission, to help people live their later life to the full, means we place great emphasis on our daily activities. We know how important activities are for the wellbeing of each resident and their quality of life. We have dedicated activities co-ordinators in each of our care homes who create a fun and varied daily activities programme to reflect the current choices of our residents. Activities may be group or individual sessions, dependent on individual residents' requirements. Activities are arranged each morning and afternoon, in addition to residents coming together to socialise or enjoy hobbies of their own. Residents enjoy trips out and spending time in the beautiful gardens surrounding each home. Getting involved Engaging and involving our residents is important to us. We constantly seek ideas, feedback and suggestions from our residents and their family in order to continuiously improve our service. Here are some of the more formal ways we gain feedback: |
