Specialist training is given on End of Life Care, Dementia, First aid and Moving and Handling as well as regular mandatory training provided by a highly qualified trainer and Registered Nurse, ensuring compliance and competence to the highest standards.
The Home is led by Registered Manager Phillipa Ayrton - Kerswill who has over 20 years experience in care and extensive management experience. She is supported by her team of Senior Carers and Care Assistants. Phillipa and her team are further supported by the Area Manager Julian Webb, who is responsible for the operational and care aspects of the home.
