Linden Grange

As a qualified Registered Nurse, prior to being a Registered Manager, my focus and that of my Team here at the Grange is always on ensuring that the personal care and support given, is the very best it can be.

We appreciate the value of every individual and are guided by our commitment to provide excellence in every aspect of our Resident's personal care.

We acknowledge the importance of respecting each Resident’s uniqueness and their personal needs. We aim to provide friendly and professional care and support in our beautiful homely surroundings at an exceptionally high standard.

All staff undertake training updates to ensure we continue to deliver a service of the highest quality that improves and sustains the Residents’ overall quality of life. We achieve this by providing exemplary physical and emotional care for each of our Residents with respect to their privacy, dignity, safety and security.

We strive to ensure that our Residents live in a clean, comfortable, safe and caring environment. Being responsive to the individual needs of all our Residents and provide the appropriate degree of care to assure the highest possible quality of life within the home is paramount to us.

I am one of Linden Care Homes Deputy managers.

I have worked for this company since 2013.

Over the years I have gained experience and knowledge and have been able to progress up the career structure from Care Assistant to Deputy Manager.

It is important to me that we maintain our great levels of respect, dignity and kindness towards our residents, their loved ones and each other.

These are the values I use in my management role.

I came to work at Linden Care Homes from school in 1990 as a temporary summer receptionist before going to college and never left.
Instead after been offered a permanent position I went to college on day release and received mentoring and training which allowed me to work my way up to my current position of Deputy Manager of Business and Finance responsible for the smooth running of all aspects of the administration and finance across all 3 homes

I started working at Linden Care Homes in 2013 as a Care Assistant.
With the support and encouragement from Management I have developed my career and progressed to Deputy Manager.

The ethos of caring at Linden Care Homes is, in my opinion, second to none and ensuring our residents are safe and happy is our priority.
It is a home from home for all of us.

My family means everything to me so I make sure we deliver the best possible care to those family members who mean so much to others.

My role is Head of Housekeeping for all three Linden Care Homes.   

Having held this position for 18 years, I have organisational skills to head teams of domestic assistants.   

We are responsible for cleanliness in all areas in the Home ensuring the environment is clean, tidy and safe.

I am very passionate about my work and dedicated to maintaining our high standards of cleanliness for our Residents.

I am married with two daughters and a grandson and am very family orientated.

I started my career at Linden Lodge Nursing Home in 2003 as a kitchen assistant weekend job whilst still at school.

Linden Lodge encouraged me to go to catering college where I trained to be a cook.

During my time at Linden Lodge I have steadily improved my skills and am now Head of Catering for all Linden Care Homes Ltd and am responsible for the standard of catering in all three homes. I have been here for 18 years and I love my job.
