Coxwell Hall & Mews Nursing Home

Home Manager Zippy Magana qualified as a nurse in 2000, gaining much of her experience in hospitals, care homes and within the community, bringing versatility and knowledge from many settings.

During her 8-year tenure at Coxwell Hall prior to her return in 2023, Zippy headed up the project ‘Like a Butterfly’ the results of which set out much of the practice adopted today. She is also qualified to deliver SMI & LD health checks (for people with Severe Mental Illness and Learning Difficulties).

The energy, knowledge and professionalism she injects not only enhances the quality of life for residents, but it is also instrumental in motivating the team, who reflect her dedication, passion and commitment to delivering the highest quality care.

If you can’t find Zippy at Coxwell, then she may be swimming or socialising in the community. She also loves a good read, and if she ever gets to escape, then it’s off travelling to somewhere hot. Read less

I've worked in Coxwell for 5yrs. What made me want to become a carer is more likely from doing work experience in coxwell before I actually started working there, like observing the staff how they do their job made me more interested especially the way they approach the residents, the different activities they do to entertain them throughout the day and how they help them every day just to achieve their needs.. my heart melts... What I achived throughout is different training such as Virtual dementia training, manual handling, mandatory, first aid training and medication training which helps me throughout my job, and I have passed my NVQ3. What is important to my life is my parents.. hobbies outside work is i sing and play guitar Read less
