Linden Lodge Nursing Home

I would like to welcome you to the Linden Lodge Nursing Home. We are a professional caring team whose aim is to deliver the highest standard of care within a homely environment. We want everyone we care for to “live well in the place and manner of their choice”

I joined LLNH in 1990 and have been the Registered Manager here for the last 20 years.

Being a qualified Registered Nurse with an Orthopaedic Nurse Certificate and a Level 4 Registered Managers award, I am passionate about making this home the best it can be, not only for the residents but also for the staff that work here and become part of our large family.

I have over 14 years of experience working in the healthcare industry. I joined Linden Care Homes in 2019 as a Care Assistant then progressed to a Deputy Manager.

After two years in that role, I am now job-sharing as a Home Manager with our long-standing Registered Manager at Linden Lodge Nursing Home.

I have a real passion for Person-Centred Care, providing the best care and environment for our residents as if they were my own family. Job satisfaction for me is interacting daily with our residents and seeing them happy.

At Linden Care Homes as soon as you walk through the doors, you can feel the warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The whole team are exceptionally kind and caring which gives me a sense of fulfilment unlike anything else I have experienced in my career.

I am an integral member of the senior management team and as such bring my knowledge and enthusiasm to our training program in order to maintain our high standards.

I came to work at Linden Care Homes from school in 1990 as a temporary summer receptionist before going to college and never left.

Instead after been offered a permanent position I went to college on day release and received mentoring and training which allowed me to work my way up to my current position of Deputy Manager of Business and Finance responsible for the smooth running of all aspects of the administration and finance across all 3 homes

Sister Russel is a highly qualified motivated nurse having achieved a degree in nursing, a leadership and management award level 4/5 and is a practice assessor for student nurses.
Having worked at Linden Care homes for 16 years she has extensive knowledge and skills in adult general nursing, palliative care, end of life care and has tissue viability expertise.

She leads by example promoting person-centred values of individuality, rights, privacy, choice, independence, dignity and partnership.

Her leadership inspires others based on core values of empathy and caring, kindness, compassion, respect and integrity.

Maintaining high standards of nursing care at all times within our nursing unit, she and her team of nurses and health care staff uphold evidence base practices to prioritise residents in their care to ensure that their needs are recognised, assessed, responded to and their dignity is preserved.

I am one of Linden Care Homes Deputy managers.
I have worked for this company since 2013.

Over the years I have gained experience and knowledge and have been able to progress up the career structure from Care Assistant to Deputy Manager.

It is important to me that we maintain our great levels of respect, dignity and kindness towards our residents, their loved ones and each other.

These are the values I use in my management role.

I started working at Linden Care Homes in 2013 as a Care Assistant.
With the support and encouragement from Management I have developed my career and progressed to Deputy Manager.

The ethos of caring at Linden Care Homes is, in my opinion, second to none and ensuring our residents are safe and happy is our priority.
It is a home from home for all of us.

My family means everything to me so I make sure we deliver the best possible care to those family members who mean so much to others.

My role is Head of Housekeeping for all three Linden Care Homes.   

Having held this position for 18 years, I have organisational skills to head teams of domestic assistants.   

We are responsible for cleanliness in all areas in the Home ensuring the environment is clean, tidy and safe.

I am very passionate about my work and dedicated to maintaining our high standards of cleanliness for our Residents.

I am married with two daughters and a grandson and am very family orientated.

I started my career at Linden Lodge Nursing Home in 2003 as a kitchen assistant weekend job whilst still at school.

Linden Lodge encouraged me to go to catering college where I trained to be a cook.

During my time at Linden Lodge I have steadily improved my skills and am now Head of Catering for all Linden Care Homes Ltd and am responsible for the standard of catering in all three homes. I have been here for 18 years and I love my job.
