The Glen Nursing Home

I’ve been dedicated to mental health and general practice for many years. Growing up around nursing homes, with both my parents and grandparents working as nurses and running a care home in the local village, I was surrounded by elderly care from a young age. This early experience inspired my passion for healthcare, leading me to gain a first-class honours degree in Mental Health Nursing in 2007, before going to medical school in Leeds and ultimately leading on to becoming a GP.

As well as working actively within The Glen Nursing Home, I also work as an out-of-hours GP for 111, allowing me to support the wider community with their healthcare needs. This gives me a good insight into what is available currently in social care and how things can be improved here at The Glen Nursing Home. My focus has always been on person-centred care, ensuring residents receive the best possible support in a familiar and compassionate environment.

Outside of work, I enjoy running and socialising with friends. I am particularly proud of raising £3,000 for Manorlands Hospice in Oxenhope by running the London Marathon. When I’m not working or training, my two daughters keep me very busy.I am passionate about making a difference in dementia care, and I’m proud to be part of The Glen Nursing Home, helping to create a safe, supportive and caring home for the residents. Read less

I’ve worked in specialist dementia care for over 15 years. Having lived in Baildon all my life, my passion for elderly care began at an early age – both my parents were nurses and ran a nursing home in the village, meaning I grew up surrounded by the world of care and support. Being around residents living with dementia felt natural to me, and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

At 18, I pursued my passion further by studying Mental Health Nursing, qualifying with a degree and building my career in dementia care. Since then, I have had the privilege of supporting residents and their families through the challenges of dementia, focusing on providing compassionate, person-centred care.

Outside of work, I’m a busy mum to three daughters, who keep me on my toes! In my free time, I enjoy skiing, going to the gym, and socialising with friends.

I’m proud to be part of The Glen Nursing Home, where we strive to provide a warm, safe, and engaging environment for all our residents. Read less

I’ve been a Registered Nurse since 2006, with a strong background in social care and palliative nursing. My career in care began when I worked as a community carer while studying for my first degree in Health Sciences, where I achieved a 2:1. This hands-on experience gave me a deep understanding of the importance of compassionate, person-centred care, shaping my commitment to supporting those in need.

I continued to develop my skills and knowledge, eventually completing a master’s degree in Adult Nursing, which strengthened my leadership and clinical expertise. After qualifying as a nurse, I worked in a variety of roles, but the job the most rewarding was as a palliative care nurse at the local hospice. I then transitioned into social care, where I progressed into management. Since 2022, I have been the Manager at The Glen Nursing Home, where I am dedicated to ensuring residents receive the highest standard of care and support.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, travelling, and learning about local history. I am passionate about creating a warm, safe, and enriching environment for residents and supporting families through their loved ones’ journey with dementia. Read less

What I love most about my role is making sure our residents receive the highest standards of care. I focus on staff training, boosting staff morale, and continuously improving the environment in which our residents live. It’s so important to me that every resident feels safe, supported, and truly at home. I have a BSc in Radiological Sciences, and I worked as a radiographer in the Philippines.

I really enjoy the management side of my job and take pride in initiating positive changes that help move the service forward. Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and spending quality time with my family, both of which bring me a great sense of balance and joy. Read less

I have worked at The Glen since 2014 and love playing my part in helping all our residents live a fulfilling life.

I am a proud mum of 2 daughters. I previously worked as a hairdresser after qualifying with a City and Guilds. I love listening to music, attending concerts and socialising with family and friends. I enjoy various fitness activities such as circuit training, pilates, yoga, gym and going for long walks with my dog Marley. Read less

I’m originally from the Philippines, where I first studied and graduated with a degree in Sociology. After completing my studies, I realised my true passion was in nursing, so I went on to study General Nursing and qualified in 2008.

I began my nursing career in Saudi Arabia, working as a nurse for an electronics company. My role there involved a wide range of responsibilities, including dispensing medications, carrying out safety and risk assessments, and even organising activities for the staff. After some time, I felt ready for a new challenge and decided to move to the UK in search of greener pastures – and in 2022, I joined The Glen Nursing Home.

Since joining The Glen, I’ve felt completely at home. It’s like one big happy family, and I love being a part of it. I prefer working night shifts, where I can provide calm, consistent care during quieter hours.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, nature walks, and capturing the beauty of the outdoors through photography. I also love socialising with friends and spending time on my hobby – crocheting clothes and blankets, which brings me a great sense of relaxation and joy. Read less
