Elm View Care Home

Leon has worked for Quantum Care for many years starting as a Carer in 2003 and working his way up to a Home Manager position. All he wanted from a young age was to look after people.  He has undertaken various training courses in Management and Leadership which has given him the knowledge and direction to be effective in his job role.  He believes that people should be cared for holistically, taking into account what makes them who they are. He takes pride in championing others to be the best they can be in their job role. It is important to him that he develops meaningful relationships with residents, staff, relatives and other stakeholders to facilitate working in partnership to benefit everyone involved with the home. He sees himself as an advocate for the residents making sure that they receive the best care possible, especially those who can no longer communicate their needs or those living with dementia.

The Deputy Manager shares responsibility with the General Manager for running the home. Deputy Managers will each bring their own skill set to the home, some offering more assistance with the business side of things, while others focus largely on care. However, whether they look at it from a business or care perspective, the focus of the Deputy is always to ensure that their home is offering the very best quality of life for our residents. Experienced and either holding or working towards their qualifications, Deputy Managers are driven to provide the best of everything for their residents.

Brian has a hospitality background and has owned his own restaurant in South Africa. He moved to the UK with his family and worked in care during the COVID-19 pandemic. He then left care and moved over to private member golf clubs, where he was responsible for the clubhouse, meals, and service, ranging from small informal functions to large silver service events.

Brian really wanted to get back into the care sector as he is passionate about it, and after a couple of years, returned to the industry. He has taken on a role within Quantum Care as the first hospitality manager for the group and is slowly starting to put his expertise and systems in place to meet Quantum Care's mandate for their beautiful homes.

His main focus is the residents and their wellbeing, which includes the housekeeping, maintenance and meals within the home, as well as following the vision that Quantum Care has for the home.
