The Hamptons Care Home

I qualified as a nurse in 1991, and have worked in a variety of settings, including A&E, orthopaedics and specialist nursing before moving into nursing and care homes in 1994. I have experience in Home Management and Regional support, and care passionately about ensuring that my teams and I provide high-quality, person-centred support to all the residents and their families within our communities.

Working within the Lovett Care Homes family, I have received an incredibly warm welcome and have been impressed not just with the 5-star environments but also with the values and beliefs that are encompassed throughout the whole service. This enables the team to empower those who live with us to live their best lives, knowing that they have the support and structure to reach their goals.

I have worked at The Hamptons since April 2018, initially as a Care Assistant. I was quickly promoted to Senior Care Assistant, then Team Leader. In December 2019, I was delighted to be offered the Deputy Home Manager position, working alongside the Home Manager. I feel very proud and privileged to be part of the team at The Hamptons.
