Austenwood Nursing Home

I started working in the health sector from 2000 till to date. I have experience in different areas in the field from maternity, neonates, young adults, adults and specialised in Mental Health.

I worked as a general nurse, service manager in specialised services, being a DBT therapist and deputy director in one of the mental hospitals.

Having explored and worked in different areas and occupying different positions in this field, I decided to settle for Elderly Care as it became my passion to contribute to the lives of people at their golden ages. I then became a CQC registered manager in one of the care homes before joining the company.

My goal is to provide compassionate, high-quality support and care to residents, many of whom may be elderly or have various health conditions and disabilities. This includes collaboration with families which is very crucial in person-centred care provided.

I am committed to make my contribution for Austenwood to continue to be a warm, safe and loving environment where residents, relatives and staff feel like family and supported emotionally and mentally.

I have worked within the care sector for over 13 years. For the past three years, I have been specialising in Dementia care.
Two of my passions are: a passion for delivering excellent care to ensure the well-being of our residents and a passion to empower residents to live their lives their way, where there is a will, there is a way.

Working alongside my team of incredible carers, we strive to deliver exceptional person-centred care to every resident every day. A busy, varied and hugely rewarding position which I feel privileged to hold.

Having an open-door policy, I am incredibly happy to be working within such a beautiful home with a friendly atmosphere and dedicated people who deliver excellent care.

I am immensely proud to be the Deputy Manager for Austenwood Care home.
