The Gables
Meet our Team
We’d like to introduce our friendly team at The Gables who are determined to be the difference in senior care.
At The Gables we treat people how we’d like them to treat our loved ones – like family. We understand everyone we look after has their own needs and preferences. So we create care plans which address everything from their individual care provision and dietary requirements to their favourite foods and hobbies. And with great food on the menu every day, each day is a new enjoyable experience.
Associate General Manager
Donna Moore
What I Do
I am proud to join The Gables team as Deputy Manager of this stunning care home in Hagley.
My Experience
I started my journey off in the care sector back in 1998 I started off as a health care assistant working in various care homes and was a personal assistant for a while until I fell pregnant with my oldest child. I completed my NVQ 2 and 3 in health care and continued to progress in various roles again within the care homes I became a senior carer in 2003 and then moved to community care once I had passed my driving test. I became a team leader in the community and then a medication technician in 2008. I then made the brave decision to do my nursing training back in 2009 and qualified as a general adult nurse in 2012. I always felt my goal in life was to provide the best possible care to anyone who I looked after. The feeling that I can help somebody made it my passion.
About Me
I am enthusiastic, ambitious, loyal, and hard working. I am a family woman with 5 (yes 5) children, 1 granddaughter and a husband who I married in 2011 whilst doing my nurse training, I love animals and have a British/American bulldog called Marley and 2 cats Loki and Luna (who are my fur babies). I enjoy watching I’m a celebrity and Britain’s got talent. I am also a dab hand at cross stitch but can’t sew (lol). I really enjoy going out on family days out but also love it when I can out with our adult family and friends and let our hair down.

Home Admissions Advisor
James Skelding
What I Do
My role as Home Admissions Advisor is to be the first point of contact for families and individuals who are exploring their care options. I work with prospective residents and their families at their pace to help them achieve their care solutions.
My Experience
I have personal experience of looking for care for a loved one and understand how hard and confusing it can be.
