My mother seems to have really settled in at Abbeycrest, lots of activities complemented by very caring and considerate staff. The facilities are clean with spring around the corner it will be good to benefit from the adjacent park during the warmer days.

Although my mother was only in Abbeycrest for a few weeks. In that time, I saw a superb level of kind and compassionate care from both the nursing staff and management. Watching how the staff interacted with all the residents put my mind at rest. Would definitely recommend.

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 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.
