My experience
I have been working in care for 22 years and have held a range of positions from Support Worker / Carer to Registered Manager. I have worked in both learning disabilities and elderly care, including dementia care and palliative care. Before joining the team at Abbotswood, I was Deputy Manager in a medium-sized care home in Northampton caring for the elderly for just over five years. Before that, I worked with adults with learning disabilities and complex needs as Senior Support Worker, and worked my way up to become Registered Manager, a post I held for just over five years. I love the satisfaction of making a positive difference, however great or small, in the life of someone less able than I am, whatever stage of life they have reached.
Whilst working in care I have been lucky enough to receive several awards. In 2005, I was the runner-up in the National Registered Managers category of the National Care Awards and a Local Hero Award for Outstanding Achievement in Care run by the Salisbury Journal and Spire FM. I am proud of both these achievements.
I look forward to seeing Abbotswood Court continue to grow, and to supporting our residents and my colleagues as that happens.
About me
When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my family and my horses.

What I do
As Deputy Manager I work closely with Lea as part of the management team. My previous role was Dementia Manager here at Abbotswood Court and I continue to directly support residents and families of our dementia community. I regularly meet with our residents’ families and with Lea ensure families are as much a part of Abbotswood Court as the residents themselves.
My experience
Since completing my Master’s degree in Person Centred Care in Dementia, I have had 16 years’ experience of supporting people living with dementia across a range of age groups.
About me
I joined Abbotswood Court in 2016 and I strive to educate people, particularly families of those living with dementia, to recognise the positive impact of focusing on the abilities the person still has, rather than dwelling on the abilities they have lost. I am passionate about everyone being treated as an individual, continuing to develop the atmosphere of person-centred care at Abbotswood Court and encouraging my Care Team to achieve the best possible care.

About Me:
I’m a Registered Nurse in Philippines and worked for 5 years in a Hospital before I moved to the UK and worked in a Nursing Home for 10yrs as a Shadow Nurse before I joined Abbotswood Court in October 2015. I have achieved different qualifications in Care for the past 16 yrs.
Being part of the Abbotswood Team has helped me grow and becoming Deputy Manager has made me feel so proud and is a dream come true!
My journey at Abbotswood started as a Senior Carer with promotion to Team Leader and now as Deputy Manager which I enjoy every single day, challenging but I love challenges!
I have so much passion working and looking after Elderly people as it reminds me of my Grandma whom I’m very close to. I enjoy most looking after people living with Dementia, seeing them smile makes me happy. I love to make a difference in their life.
I look forward to see Abbotswood Court to be one of the best among the rest in delivering care to our lovely residents
What I Do:
If I’m not at work, I make sure I spent quality time with my family. We go out and do window shopping or eat out together. I like taking my 3 children out either for play or just to be together. This being our happy time or sometimes a lazy day at home, in bed together and ordering takeaways!

What I do
My job involves helping people make difficult decisions about residential care, introducing them to our fabulous team and helping them to understand and experience the superb lifestyle residents enjoy at Abbotswood Court.
I love to see our residents thrive in such a safe, caring and stimulating environment. I enjoy guiding our new residents and their family members through this life changing move with lots of help, continuing support and encouragement.
My experience
My career history has centred around customer service, marketing and events. I spent many years working for a local newspaper and more recently within a private hospital.
About me
I live nearby with my family and have a fondness for Romsey and the surrounding area. I enjoy walking my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ‘Alfie’ when I’m not running around after my two children.
We’d love to meet you!
