Sadly my father recently passed away in July 2015. The care he received from Cedar Grange (formerly Hope Cottage) was marvellous. Special thanks to all the staff who were amazing especially Diane who made his final years so special. Thank you.

- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.

I started my career with Cedars Care Group in 2000 when the group was in its infancy. Myinitial role was as a domestic cleaner at Woodlands Manor in Southport. It was a challenging
but rewarding experience. After a few short years, I progressed from Head Housekeeper to
Housekeeping Manager, overcoming various obstacles along the way.
As the group expanded, our CEO saw in me the dedication and skills needed for the role of
Quality Assurance Manager in the new Operations team. My responsibilities include
ensuring home compliance, overseeing maintenance work, and managing projects across
the entire group, a role I take on with a steadfast commitment to quality care.
I was recently approached to take on the role of Home Manager for Cedar Grange. I didn’t
hesitate to accept, as Cedar Grange has always been a source of pride for me. In
September 2019, I collaborated with the Operations team to assist Cedar Grange in
achieving an "Outstanding" CQC rating in responsiveness—a distinction that is not easily
attained. Furthermore, Cedar Grange received the "Best End of Life Care" award from the
Gold Standard Framework. This initial accreditation was a six-month process, during which
my team and I diligently compiled evidence to meet their 20 standards of care, resulting in a
Gold award. Upon re-accreditation, we were honoured to receive the highest possible award,
the Platinum Award. The team and the home are incredibly proud of these achievements.
It goes without saying that I am very proud of Cedar Grange. I am now happy to say I am the
manager while continuing my responsibilities with the Operations Support Team. I am
excited to lead Cedar Grange and support the team in achieving our goals. I am grateful to
Cedars Care Group for the opportunities and support that have led me to this point in my
career.

My journey began in 2000, while I was still in my final year of school. I started as a weekendworker at Ash Croft House Nursing home. After my exams, the then manager recognized
my potential and offered me a full-time position, which I gratefully accepted. This was just
the start of my career, and I am deeply thankful for the opportunities that have come my way.
I have since progressed from HCA to Floor Manager, then to Care Manager and Deputy
Manager, a testament to my ambition and drive.
In 2012, with Cedars Group's growth, our CEO created the Operational Support Team, a
crucial department that provided strategic and operational support to our care facilities. I was
offered the position of Operational Care Manager, overseeing the teams in the different
homes and ensuring the highest standards of care across the board.
My work in the care field has not only been my vocation but also gives me a great sense of
pride. It is so rewarding, and I am lucky enough to say that I love my job and the impact it
has on the lives of those we care for.
Today, I find great joy in working closely with the staff at all our homes. My role goes beyond
management; I strive to empower our staff to grow and succeed. From senior carers to
deputy managers, I encourage and support their professional development, fostering a
culture of learning and progression.
