Loveday Abbey Road

Thank you for your interest in Loveday Abbey Road.

As General Manager, I ensure not only the operation and day-to-day running of Loveday Abbey Road but also, most importantly, that this beautiful, state-of-the-art residence is a warm and happy home for every Member who chooses to live here.

Our highly skilled and caring team at Loveday Abbey Road is
devoted to consistently going above and beyond to creating the best environment, stimulation and care for our Members. We pay extraordinary attention to finding out what really matters to every individual and their physical and psychological wellbeing and implementing this in their daily routines. Above all, we seek to empower our Members to live the lives they want.

As a highly skilled, specialised residence, Loveday Abbey Road is utterly unique. I am proud that we
provide specialist care for Members with a huge range of needs, supported by so many incomparable elements, such as our wonderful therapeutic sensory garden and physiotherapy room.

I bring to this role my passion for care, enriched by a strong background in medicine and a deeply fulfilling career in care since 2005. I have also participated and contributed extensively to many dementia pilot projects to promote therapeutic approaches, interventions and innovations. I am grateful to have received national recognition for my commitment and contribution to dementia care, including
runner-up in the National Dementia Care Awards and the Dementia Champion Award.

Before joining our exceptional team at Loveday Abbey Road, I worked as the General Manager of Chelsea Court Place, Loveday’s first care home and the flagship residence in the Loveday portfolio. It has been a great honour to manage the UK’s first residential and day club dedicated to providing high end and compassionate dementia care, and I am privileged to have the opportunity to continue our
dedication to design and care innovation research at Loveday Abbey Road.

Please rest assured that I appreciate how important it is to have time for Members, their loved ones and every member of my team. I am here for you and will always get back to you, wherever you live in the world, to provide peace of mind.

Together with the support of our outstanding team at Loveday Abbey Road, I very much look forward to welcoming you soon.
