Housman Court

Tina has worked in care for many, many years, and this has included adults with autism and learning disabilities and older adult health.
In February 2023, Tina interviewed for the Deputy Position and quickly progressed to the role of Registered Manager in October 2023. She holds an NVQ Level 5 Diploma in Health & Social Care.
Tina excels in making the home "homely" - she enjoys spontaneity....if the weather is hot, it is BBQ time! She has no end of ideas to celebrate life, including her own "Hen do" last year, which was celebrated with her residents.
Tina enjoys all aspects of care home management, which is diverse and challenging. Her favourite phrase: "I like a challenge !"

Bobbi is held in high esteem across our group of homes. She holds an NVQ 3 in Health & Social Care, Associate in Nursing (Teeside University) and Diploma in Children and Young People's workforce.
Bobbi is not only compassionate to the depth of her soul, but also has an infectious laugh and sense of fun.
When not at work, Bobbi enjoys walking her 2 dogs and loves outdoor and family life.

Housman Court was fortunate to have Tracey join the team in May 2025.
Tracey is a qualified teacher and a qualified accountant, and has quickly assimilated into the role - she thrives on finding innovative solutions to problems. She moved from a remote work-from-home role, back into working in a workplace and says that she goes home at the end of the day far happier.
A native of Bromsgrove, she enjoys town life. Wednesday night is quiz night ! Tracey's other hobbies include music from a diverse genre, birdwatching and walking.
Her favourite expression is "If I don't know how to do it, I will find out how to do it !"

Wendy qualified as a nurse in 1986, when City Hospital was still called Dudley Road Hospital. She was a Theatre Superintendent in the NHS before East Birmingham Hospital was called Birmingham Heartlands. The majority of her career has been spent in Older Adult Care, and after supporting 5 of her own family with dementia and frailty and previously being a Registered Manager herself in Birmingham, she brings a wealth of experience to the team. Wendy leads the company induction days for staff, which she makes memorable and interactive.
Wendy is passionate about making sure that the group of homes are run to enable older adults to live life to the full. She sits on the weekly Director's Meeting held at Housman and knows staff and families across the group.
Favourite expression: When residents come into the home, it is the families that look exhausted. It is our job to let families be husbands and wives and sons and daughters again, while we do what we do best !"

Kim thrives in making mealtimes enjoyable. She loves to plan new (delicious) menus and also puts a lot of time and energy into themed nights: St. Patrick's Night, Chinese New Year, Curry Nights, Bonfire Night, Cheese and wine and welcomes families to participate in the occasions.
For residents with low appetite or recovering from illness, Kim goes to extraordinary lengths to encourage eating.
Favourite expression: "What would you like ?"

Trish has been in the care industry for many years. She is dedicated and her favourite day at work is Christmas Day.
Trish is an exceptionally hard worker and leads a team of dedicated laundry and housekeepers. She has also transformed our activities room and is working to ensure that all residents as they are able visit the high street or local dementia cafes, a stone's throw away from Housman Court.
Favourite expression: " I saw these the other day - and I thought - that will really make a difference to our residents".
