The Gables Nursing Home

I have a passion for nursing with experience in dual diagnosis, learning disabilities, mental health and dementia.

My goal is to create and work as part of a collaborative team working in cohesion to provide the highest standard of person-centred care for our residents, in a safe, supportive and homely environment.

I feel very strongly that each resident has the right to autonomy in their lives and that their dignity and respect are promoted at all times, with the aim of achieving the best resident outcomes and experiences.

I am a Mental Health Nurse trained with over 10 years in managerial posts, starting my managerial role in a big healthcare organisation – BUPA.

My expertise lies in Nursing Homes, looking after older adults living with both dementia, other mental health issues or physical needs.

I am passionate about their health and wellbeing, providing care that is tailor-made to their needs and abilities (person-centred care). I am always an advocate for freedom, and also seeing a person first before seeing their illness.

I am also an advocate for:
•   Transparency.
•   Effective Communication – Keeping families informed and updated on the health and well-being of their loved ones.
•   Advocate for residents to be cared for with respect, dignity, kindness and to always act in their best interest if they lack capacity.

I have worked within management capacity since 1995, in childcare settings. In 2020, I changed my career choice to Elderly & Dementia care.

I have always been passionate about working with the elderly, as caring for my mother, when diagnosed with Dementia, encouraged me to change my career.

I have worked in different roles in the care industry, progressing from a care assistant to my current role, Care Quality & Training Manager. During my career, I have completed many qualifications and training degrees to provide the staff with excellent training to progress within their roles at The Gables.
I always offer support to those who visit and work at The Gables and have been complimented on my compassion & approachability.

I have worked in the care sector since 2011, and I am very enthusiastic about this career choice. I have always been passionate about elderly and Dementia care since a young age.

I have worked in different aspects of the care industry: Elderly Nursing Care, Adults with learning disabilities, Complex behaviour and Dementia Care, which I have a lot of passion for. I believe all individuals should be treated with dignity and respect, and that person-centred care is the best approach to follow.

During my career, I have completed different qualifications such as NVQs, Team Leader, Medication and Business and Administration Qualifications during this time.

I have worked in different roles during my employment, starting as a care assistant, progressing to a Team Leader, and from Administration to Regional Administrative Lead.

I am always eager to help those who come to The Gables, from Residents, Relatives and visitors to the best of my ability.

Hi, my name is Zoe, and I am a Receptionist/Admin support for the team here at The Gables. I started working at The Gables in January of 2022 as a carer, shortly after having my own experiences of living and caring for someone with dementia. Ever since, I have had a passion to use my knowledge and understanding to deliver the same expectation of person-centred care to the tenants who live under the roof of The Gables.

I am now based at the front of house, so I'll always be the first person you see and will invite you in with warm, welcoming arms to ensure that you are happy and that you feel comfortable upon your entrance and exit, after visiting a loved one. I will always answer any questions or queries you may have, but if I can point you in the right direction of whom you can speak to in order to have a good overview and understanding of the matter, I shall definitely do so. Our priority isn’t just ensuring that our residents are safe, happy and that their care needs are met… it is also important to us that families and friends leave with a good knowledge of what is happening with their loved ones and their care in order for them to leave happy - We are here as your support network too.
