My brother has lived at Lifestyles for a very long time under the care of the current management and staff. He has never been happier. His needs are catered for whilst maintaining his dignity. He is encouraged to engage in activities and he is also gently encouraged to better himself. My brother's attitude is much more positive than it has been in years gone by.

My son has been living under the care of the above home and he is happy, settled and feels very safe. The care given is high quality and they address his various needs. When I go and visit the staff always answer my questions and they always give me their views about his problems if applicable. The home is clean, nice and warm in cold weather. My son is happy he can always ask for help if he feels he needs advice or help.

Lifestyles is what all residential homes should aspire to be like. It is a place of warmth, compassion, respect and care, not just to residents but to families too, the manager and staff are full of genuine care. I only wish they had been in existence many years ago when my relative first became ill. Nothing is too much trouble and the level of professionalism is second to none.

I am a quirky, unique, vibrant individual. I often have different hair colours and like to dress in a way that shows my bright personality, as I like to think expression is an impression. I have always naturally been drawn to helping people and chose to take this into my career choice. I gained the required qualifications and became the registered manager of Lifestyles in 2009. I strive with purity and humility to ensure I provide love and care in a holistic person-centred way. I genuinely do feel this is a vocation, not simply a job or career.
