I spent 2 weeks respite care at Bayleaf whilst my wife had a holiday. I was welcomed with open arms by all the management and staff. I felt totally at home throughout my stay and all my care was met with thought and respect. It was thoughtful to make it possible for me to have a double bed which I am used to at home. My beautiful room led straight out into the garden where I could sit comfortably to enjoy the great weather. I hope I may be allowed to stay again at Bay Leaf Care Home.
Thank you very much for your review, it was our pleasure to have you stay with us. Of course you are welcome to come and stay with us again we are all very much looking forward to your next visit!

Hi, my name is Katie Wilkinson, and I am the General Manager here at Bayleaf.
I am extremely passionate about supporting and building the care team for Bayleaf following our life enrichment programme. I have worked in the care sector for 27 years in a variety of different roles: in nursing, residential care, learning disabilities, mental health and acquired brain injury. I have been a General Manager for over 10 years.
I believe strongly in collaborative care, working closely with residents, families and healthcare professionals. My door is always open if I can be of any help with your care enquiry.
Please do not hesitate to call or pop in for a coffee and a chat. I feel extremely passionate about welcoming families and supporting them through finding care for a loved one.
In my free time, I enjoy exercising and being outdoors.

Hello, my name is Emily Robson, and I am the Deputy Manager here at Bayleaf Care Home.
Whilst I am new to this role, I bring many years of experience across nursing, residential and dementia care. These experiences have shaped my strong work ethic and resilience approach to leadership.
I have a medical background and hold NVQ’s in Adult and Social Care. I am a caring, responsible person who truly enjoys making a positive difference in people's lives. Bringing comfort and reassurance to those I work with is incredibly important to me.
Seeing residents feel happy and safe, and genuinely cared for, gives me a real sense of self-fulfilment.
Care is more than just a job for me - it is about connection, attitude, kindness, and making people feel happy that they truly matter.

My team and I will be some of the first people you meet when you come into the home. We make a point of knowing all of the residents and their families, and look forward to welcoming you to Bayleaf.

Hello, my name is Mark, and I am the Gardener here at Bayleaf.
I’ve worked in home and garden maintenance for many years and in my spare time spend a lot of time outdoors, walking, running and cycling and love living on our boat on the River Great Ouse. I also enjoy reading, cooking and going to the gym.
It’s great to see how much joy our outdoor space brings to our residents, whether it’s enjoying a stroll around the garden, helping with planting and tending to the plants or simply sitting enjoying the flowers.
