Dealing with Dementia in someone you love is difficult and distressing. But at least I have the reassurance that my wife is in such good hands, and is being cared for so well. I am most grateful to everyone at the Grace Care Centre for this.

A reunion of 7 friends after 48 years was held at the Home comprising an afternoon tea. One of the seven is a resident at the Home. We were all well received by staff and the quality of food provided was equal to what you would expect in a top hotel.

We found Grace Care Centre very clean and welcoming and the food was excellent. The staff were very polite respectful and welcoming. The distribution of medicines was effective and very well organised. Our only criticism would be that when the resident we were visiting needed physical assistance to transfer to or from his wheelchair then the necessary assistance was not readily available which affected our plans on each occasion!

Jamie Jones has worked in care for the last 13 years. Jamie entered the care industry initially as a volunteer while studying at University, her love for working closely with the residents and building meaningful relationships meant that Jamie couldn’t imagine working in any other sector and went into care full time starting as a Carer, progressing to Senior Carer, Unit Leader and Deputy Manager.
“I love being in a role where you can truly help to navigate the service and support the team to deliver the highest quality of care.”
Jamie Brings with her a BSc in Psychology, Level 5 Health and Social Care, and Level 3 Safe Handling of Medicines.

Jamie finds every day is different. The home is full of life and characters with different stories to tell. She love’s hearing about their lives and using that knowledge to be able to help people continue to live with a sense of purpose and community spirit.
