Meet Our Home Manager

Racquel Cruz

Welcome to Redbond Lodge! My name is Raquel and I am the Home Manager of our lovely home. I moved to the UK in 2008 and started my career in United Kingdom. I joined Runwood Homes in November 2008 in different roles from Healthcare Assistant, Care Team Leader, and Deputy Manager from 2012 until I decided to take a big responsibility as a Home Manager at Redbond Lodge.

I strongly believe that Customer Service is a key priority, as is building up the home’s residents, families, relatives, and friends and understand the important contribution that these relationships make to successful running the care home. Redbond Lodge is such a lovely home with a good reputation in the community. I want to continue to build on that for more people to see it as the place to be.

Furthermore, I want to ensure that the team feel valued and that they all have the training and support needed to do their very best. I love my team and deeply appreciate their hardworking commitment in their role. I feel privileged to be part of such a wonderful, caring team who are dedicated to maintaining the safety and wellbeing and the best quality of life of all our residents. Thank you for considering Redbond Lodge and we hope to see you soon!

Hear what others have to say:

My mum has been here since August after a fall. She has settled in so well and joins in the activities and has been on a couple of day trips, which is wonderful and also to see on social media. Everyone I have spoken to or had dealings with has been amazing and so helpful. When I visit, everyone is so friendly, and all the residents seem so happy. All I can say is a massive thank you.
