Excellent and compassionate care for my 85 year old mother.
The care team at St Michaels work very hard and show great kindness to try and meet the needs of each resident. The management are very open and approachable , actively encouraging residents families to give feedback on their care. They take a highly accommodating approach to individual needs and preferences. My father is on the residential floor and has a lovely sunny room with French doors opening onto the garden. There are activities for those who choose to join in, but equally quiet spaces for people who prefer their own space. All the staff are good and some are truly wonderful.

I started my career as a Care Assistant, and through hard work and determination, I have progressed to higher roles within the care sector.
In 2019, I was promoted to a Registered Manager position, commissioning a large residential home.
I was able to build up a wealth of experience in caring for people with different needs.
I hold a level 5 in Leadership and Management that gave me a real understanding of the skills required in managing people.
I am passionate about my work, providing a homely, safe, and happy environment for our residents, and I feel determined to make sure we focus on the individuals' needs and their happiness.
In September 2024, I joined St Michaels Court.
I am being supported by a strong team who all have the same passion for providing person-centred care.
In my free time, I like to spend time with my family, going out for country walks. I like reading and listening to music.
