Daily life
Keeping things personal
At Ivy Court
The fantastic location of Ivy Court is matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.
We give as much independence as possible, letting individuals choose how to run the home and if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love.
Every need catered for
Mealtimes are an important part of daily life at Ivy Court. We know eating well and the social experience of dining are key to health and wellbeing. Our chefs select a different menu each day, creating lots of home-cooked dishes with fresh ingredients to choose from. Using their in-depth knowledge of nutrition, they cater for any special diets and needs.
Keep doing what you love
At Ivy Court, there’s something to tickle everyone’s fancy – from the craft room to the hair salon, our packed schedule of events and activities, to picnics in the lovely garden. And if residents prefer to spend one-on-one time with a member of the team, they can read the paper, pop to the shops or have a pint in the local pub. We have strong connections with the Norwich community, many of our residents invite them to join in our activities or even run their own here.

I fell in love with Ivy Court when I came to visit and am proud to be Home Manager. It is a stunning home with everything anyone could need on offer here. I see my role here as providing the best possible care to the residents. I enjoy the challenges care home life can present and take my responsibilities very seriously, striving to maintain a safe and happy environment, promote great care and make a positive difference to all our residents’ lives.
There is an enthusiastic and compassionate team working here with me delivering the highest standards of residential, nursing and palliative care. As Home Manager I want to support my team and ensure their professional development as well as my own, something Caring Homes provides a lot of support for.
I have been involved in nursing since 1981 when I qualified at The Western Infirmary School of Nursing in Glasgow and then returned some years later to The Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen to do a BSc. I have worked in care homes and community hospitals as well as acute hospitals around the country. I have brought up my family and I ran my own small catering business to allow me to spend time with, and nurse, my father. I came to England from Scotland seven years ago as a clinical lead working in a care home and then as Home Manager. I have improved the CQC ratings at the last three homes I have managed, and I am already working towards doing the same here at Ivy Court.
I believe in maintaining strong relationships with residents and their relatives and understand the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of a care home. Commencing my role here in the middle of the Covid-19 outbreak has not been the easiest start in terms of getting to know my relatives and families and I am looking forward to being able to welcome them in to the home to see their loved ones and to meet them in person.
I love gardening and have been redesigning my garden at home, about 10 miles away from Ivy Court, and also have big plans for the Ivy Court gardens which I hope some relatives and volunteers will be helping me to achieve. I love the coast and countryside of North Norfolk, even though it is a little flatter than the Highlands I am used to and enjoy walking with my dog as well as relaxing and reading. I am thinking about getting a kayak to explore further as I live not far from the river Bure.
My two-year-old Terrier cross Bramble will also be a familiar face at Ivy Court, this is the fifth care home she has been made welcome at, visiting residents with me since she was eight weeks old.
I look forward to meeting you.
