Many complimentary comments were made summed up by one "The home is superb and the staff very friendly. I've put my name down for a bed in due course". It was a very special day which could not have happened without the help and support of the manager and all her staff.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. In regards to your mother’s routine, I’m very sorry to hear your concerns and apologise that we have fallen below our usual high standards in this instance – we take feedback very seriously and will speak with the care team immediately about this. In terms of staffing, we always ensure we have the right number of people in place to provide the levels of care we need to deliver a safe and high-quality service for residents, 24 hours a day, seven days a week – on occasion, particularly to cover holidays and staff illness, we may have to use agency staff. However, our dedicated recruitment team work hard across all Care UK homes to find new team members for homes with the correct knowledge, experience and friendly disposition we require in our team members. Thank you again for your feedback and kind words, and of course please do contact any other members of the senior team at the home if there is anything else we can help with now or in the future.

Before my current role, I was deputy manager, so I feel privileged to have been promoted.
It is incredibly rewarding to lead a team I’m really proud of.
The most important aspect of my role is to ensure residents are happy, safe and well cared for. It’s wonderful watching the team work well together with dedication and compassion. Seeing the positive difference we make in people’s lives keeps me motivated.
I’ve been part of Care UK since 2006. I chose to work for the organisation because it truly values people – both residents and colleagues. I’ve been lucky enough to work alongside fantastic colleagues over the years and have been supported throughout my career.
To be a home manager, you need a combination of compassion, dedication and strong leadership. It’s important to genuinely care about the well-being of residents and to be able to support and motivate a team. Each new day brings a fresh set of challenges, so it’s essential to have strong problem-solving skills too.
Patience, empathy and excellent communication skills are also key as you need to build relationships with residents, their families and colleagues so that everyone feels valued and heard.
I enjoy spending my free time with family, listening to music, reading, and travelling.
