My Father-in-law spent his last few months at Glebe house. And I can honestly say they were the happiest he had had in a long time. He had nothing but praise for the staff and made some great friends with the other residents nothing is too much trouble for the staff at this care home.

My husband has been in Glebe House for approximately two years. They do look after him quite well, his main issue is the food - I am known for being a very good cook (I did B&B, foreign students, so when they say I am a very good cook it makes you happy). I walk down for a visit or take the bus. He can come home for lunch etc also get on a local bus and visit the local pub, so we are all doing our best. they do put on little shows and a lovely Christmas so well done Glebe House.

Jo joined the care sector and Shaw healthcare back in June 2008.There is not a role in a care home that Jo has not undertaken – she loves a challenge and has helped out in many Shaw homes across the West Sussex region, learning and improving along the way.
Jo enjoys the interactions she has each day with families, health professionals, and of course the lovely residents. Jo commented “Speaking to the residents and listening to their life stories, just knowing you have made a difference to someone’s day, is what makes working in care so wonderful”

I started at Glebe House in 2015 as a support worker. I then became a team leader and now I am the administrator.
My mum resided at Glebe House when she needed care, after seeing the fantastic care and support given to her I decided that I wanted to be a part of the Glebe House team.
My role as admin gives me the opportunity to support each of the residents and their families first hand.
I am privileged to meet future residents and their families and ensure that all of their needs are met whilst residing with us.
I love being part of such a supportive and dynamic staff team and spending time with each and every resident.

I started my career in Health and Social care back when I was a teenagerI have worked with an entire spectrum of people with differing health needs.
Over the last 11 years working in the care sector, I have gained many skills and achievements, my highest qualification is, Level 5 in Health and Social Care.
In my previous role I was a registered manager at a home for those with mental health needs. I then went on to have a baby girl and decided that I wanted to take a new career path still in the care sector so that I could use the skills and knowledge previously gained to give 100% to my new role.
I joined Glebe House as the second administrator. I enjoy the people I work with and every day is a new challenge, this gives me the opportunity to develop my skills to ensure I am always providing a fantastic service to the people we support and their families.

Started working in the home almost 9 years ago.
I am currently working as a team leader, which I really enjoy.

Started working in the home almost 9 years ago.
I am currently working as a team leader, which I really enjoy.
Working in this role and supporting the residents and the staff team gives me immense job satisfaction.
I know that I have achieved when I can make at least one resident smile every day.
It’s such a rewarding career and team work is paramount to the safe running of my shift.
