From my very first contact by phone with St Margaret's, I knew that it was the place of care and dignity where my aunt would be well cared for as an individual. Every single member of staff from all areas of the home knows the residents and has time for them. A wide range of activities are provided with residents feeding in ideas of what they would like to do. Trips out, beauty sessions, armchair yoga, sports, TV, and visits from the local nursery all ensure an active outlook for residents. It is a lovely, caring "home-from-home".

I am extremely pleased with the cleanliness of the premises. Although the staff are extremely busy they will find a moment to engage. My family were especially pleased with the birthday spread put on for my wife.

Since joining the care home in October my mother has had excellent care in every aspect. The full staff has bent backwards to make sure she settled in without stress or distress. Her every whim is catered for, especially endless cups of tea. Any concerns the family has have been resolved and openly and we have a good relationship with the staff. I feel I can query anything with them and they will help or find out who can. They see Mum as an individual with a real personality and not just a client. Everyone is polite and takes time to talk to Mum and have a joke with her. She feels involved in the home.
I was reluctant to place Mum in a care home, I now have no worries. Reception is polite, friendly and always helpful with requests for Mum.

What is your professional background?
I began nursing in 2010, where I worked in various areas of the NHS before moving over into the care home sector. Studying an MSc in the Health and Well-being of Older People gave me the skills and confidence to dedicate my career to this client group- an area I dearly love. I have previously held posts in Clinical Lead, Deputy Home Managers and Head of Care Lead Nurse positions while continuing to work for a local agency in supporting the NHS, Marie Curie and St Columba's Hospices. I have experience in General Surgery, Renal and GI, Gynaecology, Medical Assessment Unit, Cardiac High Dependency, Medicine of the Elderly and Palliative Care.
As well as being a home manager, you are also a registered nurse. Why did you first get into nursing?
Nursing found me. Following personal challenges in my own life, I found that my empathy and compassion for people developed and the need to help others became my focus. It's a phenomenal responsibility being a Nurse, and I feel very privileged to have been given this opportunity.
What one thing do you enjoy most about your job?
I enjoy the challenge of being a new Home Manager and the fast-paced, ever-changing environment that is care. The position I am in allows me to see care delivery from all angles while building a service that is true to the needs of the individual.
What was a defining moment for you?
Providing palliative care to a 34-year-old lady with stomach cancer. At the time I cared for her, she had a son the same age as mine and had been diagnosed 2 weeks before her death. I learnt that day the importance of living in the moment and being thankful for my family and son. You can't dictate the future, but you can enjoy the present.?
What interests you outside of work?
I am a huge sports fan with special interests in rugby and football. Manchester United is where my heart will always be. I also enjoy walking with my dogs and spending time with my 5-year-old son. I also enjoy watching movies, especially Sci-fi and thrillers, as well as listening regularly to music. I have a personal interest in German history and sport.
