I have worked for over 15 years across various roles within the care sector, including Residential, SRC, General Nursing and Specialist OPMH Nursing care services.
My desire to help people, has ultimately led me to where I am today.
My Ethos when managing, has been to create a positive and open culture for all our residents and staff.
I am extremely passionate about holistic therapies and promoting a holistic environment, to enable individuals in our care live the life they choose. I strongly support our residents to have and maintain meaningful relationships, throughout their time with us.
I am also passionate about the development of our staff team within their roles. I love to support staff and develop their own career paths within our home, so that in turn, our residents receive the ‘best‘ care.
We offer care and support for our residents, with a stimulating range of activities, delivered throughout the week by both staff and external providers.
Our nursing home offers private gardens for our residents to pursue their hobbies. (del). The Home is located close to an attractive and peaceful town, which offers a variety of independent shops, a theatre, coffee shops and a local arts centre, for those residents with more artistic flair.
