Meet The Manager
John Hudson-Beddows is Manager at Sonya Lodge Dementia Residential Care Home.
I have worked in a range of roles within the care industry for over 25 years, from Care Assistant through to Home Manager in various Care Homes. The largest part of my career has been working with people living with Dementia and this is where my heart lies.
I am very focussed on the care of our residents and their needs. I work in a spirit of openness, honesty and integrity, and I like to include everyone – residents, team members and families – in my ideas and hopes for the future.
My goals will always be to put our residents’ needs first, to improve their quality of life in whatever way I can – whether it be activities, catering, the quality of care or the environment. Myself and my team strive to ensure a happy, enjoyable and comfortable time for each person, however long they reside with us.
Welcome to Sonya Lodge Residential Care Home; a residential Home offering specialist person-centred care for elderly people diagnosed with dementia and related illnesses, on either a respite or permanent basis.
Located in the village of Wilmington, just outside Dartford town centre, Sonya Lodge provides a real home-from-home environment for everyone in our care. The strong relationships we have with relatives and the local community help us to support our residents’ independence and quality of life.

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.
