The staff are lovely, the environment is very nice. Not sure if there could be more activities which might encourage my mum to sit in the communal area. My mum can be quite sociable but I think she struggles because some of the other residents are not very chatty - activities could help with that. My mum's room can get quite messy and not sure at the cleaning schedule.

I have over twenty years of experience managing services in the care sector, I am deeply passionate about delivering outstanding, person-centred care. Alongside my dedicated staff team, I ensure that we not only meet but exceed CQC standards, providing high-quality support that truly makes a difference.
I have successfully managed services supporting individuals with learning disabilities, mental health needs—including forensic mental health—and elderly care, with a strong focus on dementia and mental health support. My expertise includes working with complex behaviours, maintaining high standards of quality assurance, and driving continuous improvement in service delivery. I have a proven track record of transforming existing services from a CQC rating of “Requires Improvement” to “Good” by implementing robust quality improvement plans, enhancing staff training, and fostering a strong culture of excellence.
In addition, I have extensive experience in setting up and managing new services, developing them into thriving, outstanding provisions. I work closely with local authorities and other multidisciplinary professionals, to ensure compliance and the highest standards of care.
My approach is always person-centred, ensuring that individuals—particularly those living with dementia—receive compassionate, tailored support that promotes independence, dignity, and well-being.
I hold a Level 5 qualification in Health and Social Care Leadership, along with all mandatory training required for my role. As a manager, my motto is to lead by example—supporting, inspiring, and empowering my staff to be the best versions of themselves so that, in turn, they provide the highest standard of care.
