My mum has been a resident for more than 2 and half years now, and she has been very happy here. All the carers have been lovely and treat mum with care and respect. She always remarks how kind everyone is, and how patient the staff are. The rooms are all comfortable and well furnished, my mums room has a lovely patio and view of the garden. The carers and nurses are all very approachable and it is easy to raise any concerns with them.
I visit Abbeycrest everyday and the carers and nurses are always very courteous, kind, friendly and helpful. I am happy that my wife is looked after very well, is comfortable and safe. Nothing is too much trouble.

As Home Manager, I believe that our residents should receive the very best bespoke care and support they require to meet their needs, whilst making each day memorable.
I have been blessed to have a very successful career working in the health and social care sector with over 30 years of experience. I trained as a nurse in Hertfordshire and have maintained my registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. After qualifying, I worked in A&E before stepping into the community in 2003, where I managed domiciliary care, including complex care as clinical lead and then moved into care home management.
It is important to me that my team feel valued and supported in their roles, as well as having the opportunity to develop, so that our home can thrive and be a happy and beautiful home for everyone.
At Abbeycrest, we are one big family, and everything we do is from the heart, treating the people living in our community as individuals, understanding their choices, wishes and dreams for no other reason than to make a difference every day.
