I was taken out for the day for a pub lunch. We went to the pub I used to drink in. We had a lovely day. I even had someone I used to know buy me a drink. The activities coordinators made this day happen and, of course, the bus driver and the care staff who helped me get ready.

My Aunt has been a resident in 3 different homes since having to move into care in 2017. She continued a marked decline until relocating to Kippington since then she has stabilised and improved in both general health and in the positivity of outlook. I attribute this to the excellent care and general level of cleanliness and professional attention she has received at Kippington. Thank you.

Whilst I haven't been able to visit regularly due to Covid rules, all my dealings with the management and staff have been excellent. The manager and deputy manager have been highly responsive and attentive to my requests. The staff come across as genuinely caring. My dad is cheerful and content in his new surroundings. I understand the need for restrictions on visiting at present, but it will make a massive difference when the riles are relaxing and weekend visits and ad-hoc visits are permitted.
Nothing is too much trouble.

I have always had a passion for health and social care since I cared for my own Grandfather from a young age. I started my career as a healthcare assistant in a nursing home, proceeded to a senior clinical support worker for the NHS on an elderly care ward which led me to completing my nursing degree.
During my nursing career I have experienced working on a frailty ward for the NHS, as a Clinical case manager within the community nursing for those in their own homes and within management in nursing homes that has involved me working on the floor as a registered nurse at times.
I have personal experience of having parents with dementia and making the decision of placing them in care which I feel gives me increased compassion and empathy to those tackling this decision themselves.
I feel I am committed to ensuring that our residents receive the best quality care with compassion and respect they deserve. I work closely with the residents, relatives and colleagues to ensure Kippingtons is a warm and friendly atmosphere to live and work in.
My ethos is that I would not ask someone to do something that I have not or would not be prepared to do myself. Teamwork and good communication is key.
