Mam is treated with both dignity and kindness by all of the staff. She has been in Tenlands since 2018 and calls it home, which speaks volumes. Nothing is too much trouble. If there are issues then they are quickly resolved. The care home has negotiated the demands of the pandemic really well, catering for my mother's emotional and physical needs. Today the staff organised a lovely birthday treat for my mother's 93rd birthday. I could mention all of the carers but there isn't space. Superb teamwork from all the staff. Mother is very happy, as is the whole family.
I love the staff, they are very capable. Tenlands is a place when the time comes, I would stay there when I need care. My sister's room is excellent.

I haven't been able to visit very often because of Covid restrictions. I have only been able to see my friend in the conservatory, until today. The visits have been running smoothly and managed appropriately, so I feel I can't comment too vastly regarding the ratings.

My mam was in the home for two weeks respite. The care and support was fantastic. The care staff need to be on a lot more money for all the work they do.

What an amazing, socially distanced visit. Felt safe but managed to enjoy the fresh air in the garden with lovely seating. The staff were all very friendly and so accomodating. Their empathy and understanding is amazing. Thank you for everything you do.

I have had only limited contact with Tenlands really (because of Coivd), but the staff are extremely helpful and professional. In my experience, my mother seems to be happy and content at Tenlands, which is obviously down to good attention from the staff.

I have found the staff at Tenlands extremely helpful, and I am very reassured by the way they care for and interact with my Grandma. She seems very settled and relaxed. The home is clean, airy and comfortable.

The staff, I have met have been so lovely, I have no worries about my mam being in the care of Tenlands as I know she is so well looked after. I would not want her anywhere else. My only wish is I could get to hug her, but this is not Tenlands fault.
Care provider was very nice, very professional and a pleasure working with him.

I started my journey in care when I was 19 years old as a Care Assistant, and from the very beginning, I knew I had found something I was truly passionate about. Supporting people, building trusting relationships, and helping individuals feel safe, valued, and cared for has always been at the heart of everything I do.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to grow and develop within my career, progressing through roles including Senior Carer, Administrator, Residential Lead, Deputy Manager, and now Home Manager. Each role has shaped me both professionally and personally, and strengthened my belief in delivering care that is not only high-quality but also genuinely compassionate and person-centred.
I take great pride in leading teams to provide the best possible support for residents, ensuring their well-being, dignity, and independence are always prioritised. I also value supporting staff to grow in confidence and enjoy their roles, as I believe a happy, supported team creates the best outcomes for those we care for.
I am currently working towards my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care, continuing to develop my skills and knowledge so I can keep making a positive difference every day.

With over 20 years of experience in care, I have always been passionate about supporting people to live with dignity, comfort, and independence. I...
With over 20 years of experience in care, I have always been passionate about supporting people to live with dignity, comfort, and independence. I started my journey as a Care Assistant, gaining valuable hands-on experience and building meaningful connections with those I supported.
As I grew in confidence and knowledge, I became a Senior Care Assistant and later progressed to Deputy Manager. These roles have allowed me to support and guide teams, while ensuring high standards of care are always maintained. I take pride in making a positive difference every day, both for the people in my care and the staff I work alongside.

I’m the Home Administrator at Tenlands Care Home, where I play a key role in ensuring the home runs efficiently, supporting both residents and staff while maintaining high standards of care. I’ve worked in care home administration since 2012, gaining experience across a variety of residential and dementia care settings, so it’s fair to say I’ve seen a bit of everything!I hold a Level 4 NVQ in Business Leadership and Management and take pride in creating an organised, supportive environment for both residents and staff. Whether it’s solving problems, keeping things on track, or just being someone people can rely on, I enjoy being at the heart of the home’s day-to-day operations.
I was also proud to be shortlisted as a regional finalist in the Great British Care Awards, which was a real highlight and recognition of the work I’m so passionate about.
