Accreditation

As the Home Manager at Moorlands, I have a qualified nursing background and lead my dedicated Care Team in providing the highest standards of person-centred care.

Care types

Residential care offers housing for those living independently who wish to reside in an environment with other people as companions and friends. Support is on hand if required, but personal care is not a constant need.
Nursing care means that qualified nurses are on hand to prescribe medication and offer support and assistance as required for individual care needs, which are more personal in nature.

Length of stay

Temporary accommodation with appropriate levels of care support based on a person’s physical and emotional needs. Duration ranges from one week to several months, whereby the resident intends to return home.
Accommodation with appropriate levels of care support based on a person’s physical and emotional needs. Rooms may be fully decorated by the resident with some small furniture items brought in to personalise the room.
A day of engagement with fellow day care visitors and residents. Food, drink, personal care, bathing, events, day trips, hairdressing, and sociable activities are generally on offer.

Manager's Profile

As the Registered Manager of Moorlands Nursing Home, I lead a professional team in providing the highest standards of residential and nursing care for up to 40 residents with varying needs. Our commitment ensures they lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive.

I am a qualified Nurse with background working in a private clinic on ECG’s, audiology tests, blood tests and spirometry, I then moved into a Clinical Lead role in a Haematology Ward which led to me working with palliative care, offering counselling and psychological support when needed. I have found this provides me with the perfect background for a nursing home, ensuring I fully understand the care required for each individual resident and giving me the ability to provide assurance and advice to families at Moorlands.  

At Moorlands I began as a Clinical Lead and have gradually worked my way to Deputy Manager and now Manager of the home which has insured I build strong relationships with the residents, their families and also professional colleagues. I feel very fortunate to be in a post which gives me such fulfilment and which enables me to bring my knowledge, experience and skills to Caring Homes and my team, who in turn are enabled and encouraged to give the best care and support they can to our residents and their families.

I live near to Moorlands and in my spare time enjoy going out with my wife and beautiful children trying new activities.
