You will live in a safe environment, have the benefit of the care you need from the well trained and friendly team, be able to enjoy the many events on offer and homemade food cooked on site.
Within the hamlet there is the Parish Church of St Mary The Virgin and a primary school so you can become an active part of the community enjoying extended gardens and the countryside. They welcome all, irrespective of race, creed or religion.

Lady Katherine Leveson came recommended and I was lucky enough to find that a vacancy existed for my wife. Since becoming a resident she has been treated extremely well. We have experience of "carers" visiting our house and were sure that we would never enlist their help again. What a revelation it was to experience the care and affection in Lady Katherine Leveson.

My mother has now been in Lady Katherine for six months and is very happy there. They pay attention to her particular wishes and needs and have been marvellous in dealing with her independence and infirmity. She really likes the food, and the way you can ask for a glass of wine or sherry, or a light supper in your room, and cups of tea for visitors. Sometimes we get frustrated by communication blips but the "senior" care staff and manager are very open and responsive to complaints, questions and suggestions (like tidying up the wheelchair shed).

I have always been passionate about working in care and have been fortunate enough to gain extensive experience in this field over the years, and to be working in such a beautiful, historic environment at Temple Balsall.
I commenced my journey with the Lady Katherine Housing & Care family back in 2010, starting out as a night carer. By 2012, I achieved my Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care, paving the way to a career I am deeply passionate about. With a dedication to continuous learning, I successfully completed the NVQ Level 5 Management Leadership for Health and Social Care.
During the twelve happy years working at our care home, I was promoted to increasingly more senior roles until I was appointed the registered care manager in 2022.

I have been working at Lady Katherine Housing & Care home for the last 6 years starting as a Care Assistant and then being progressively promoted to become Deputy Care Manager in 2022.
I have a passion for working in Health and Social Care and love working at Lady Katherine. I studied Health & Social Care at University College Birmingham and then pursued a BA Honours Degree in Social Care at Wolverhampton University. My academic achievements have helped me become a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional in my field.
Working at Lady Katherine Housing & Care is a particularly rewarding experience. I am drawn to the unique atmosphere, history and surroundings of the community. The residents and my colleagues made me feel welcome and valued from the moment I walked through the door. I am grateful to be part of such a warm and caring team and I am committed to continue providing the best possible care to our residents.
I am always dedicated to go above and beyond for those I care for and their families.
