Meet the team

The team at Braemar Lodge brings together experience, clinical oversight and steady leadership within one coordinated home. From the Home Manager and Clinical Lead to care colleagues, hospitality, housekeeping and maintenance, each role contributes to how the home operates day to day. Communication is consistent and responsibility sits clearly within the home, so decisions are well informed and standards remain dependable. 

Care is delivered by people who know the residents well and work closely together. Continuity matters, especially as needs change. Behind the scenes, the wider Colten Care group provides governance, professional support and shared learning, strengthening how the home is led and maintained. What families see is a team that works with clarity and purpose, with the resident at the centre of every decision. 

Jackie Cash – Home Manager

Supporting the team and residents at Braemar Lodge is such an enjoyable role. I have worked at this home since it opened in 2007 and have supported many families with difficult care decisions. So if you’re finding it hard to take those first steps, then I’m here to help you.

Zodwa Lukhele – Clinical Lead

I have the pleasure and responsibility of leading our team of registered nurses and carers to meet the individual needs of each resident. I’m here to ensure the delivery of consistently high levels of clinical care, and I am always willing to answer any questions you may have.

“The standard of care is excellent and all the staff are cheerful and encouraging. ” – A P, resident at Braemar Lodge
