Meet The Manager
Claire Wright is Care Home Manager at Chesterton Lodge.
My name is Claire Wright. I have a number of years experience in residential care and have held a number of different roles within care homes. My favourite part of my role is spending time with my residents.
Chesterton Lodge in Newcastle-under-Lyme is a contemporary residential care home set in modern and comfortable surroundings. Meticulously finished to a very high standard, Chesterton Lodge offers first class care and facilities with en-suite rooms for up to 64 residents, in a light, spacious and elegant setting.
At Anchor, we have a long history of caring for older people and we put our residents at the heart of everything we do. In times of uncertainty, Anchor is a care provider you can depend on. We are proudly not-for-profit with 60 years of experience. Chesterton Lodge is the result of this approach, carefully conceived with all our experience and passion, to meet the needs and expectations of the next generation of older people.
Our dedicated service, combined with Chesterton Lodge’s modern environment and facilities, allow our residents to live a full, rich and meaningful life in the company of supportive, like-minded people.
We also offer respite care at Chesterton Lodge so if you are thinking about going away, but worried about your loved one we can offer a helping hand.
