Our team at
Long Stone Manor

My very first experience of Care UK was as a relative when my grandad lived in one of its homes. I loved seeing how he was made to feel part of a family and it made me want to be part of a team that made that possible.

I have now worked for Care UK for 14 years, starting as a carer and progressing to my current role as deputy manager. I have also undertaken level two and three NVQs and have a wealth of experience of dementia and end of life care.

In all caring roles you need to be compassionate and respectful. You also need to be trustworthy, and calm in stressful situations. Being a problem solver with good attention to detail helps a lot too. As we work as a team, it’s essential to work well with others.

I have a huge amount of pride in what I do. My work is meaningful, and everyone here provides a warm and caring environment that prioritises dignified living and tailored support.

My favourite part of the day is the early morning and saying hello to everyone. Being able to sit and talk with residents is rewarding and enjoyable too, especially finding out about their lives and what they’ve achieved.

My role is to help families through a difficult time and offer lots of support and advise. I am the initial contact here at Long Stone Manor and will help guide you through the Admissions process.

I enjoy meeting new families, showing them how amazing Long Stone Manor is, as well as being hardworking, adaptable and working well within a team I love to spend time with residents, chatting and getting to know them and their families to help make a difference to their lives. We are dedicated to finding out about the little details of people’s lives and their preferences so that we can include these in their daily routines.

I joined Care UK in 2022, working at Oakfield Croft because I wanted to make a difference and find a role with true satisfaction.

I feel proud when I can make residents happy, and I go the extra mile to arrange personal activities and events.

The team here at Long Stone Manor is focused on delivering outstanding care and we love to create a family feeling… we very much look forward to welcoming you!

I am the business administrator at Long Stone Manor. I have a background of Hairdressing and Bingo Calling before the care sector, which I joined in 2020 as an activities coordinator, before becoming a health and wellbeing leader as well as working in a night care assistant role. I then moved into the Administrative sector in 2022 and before joining Care UK I worked as a Divisional Business Administrator covering Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Yorkshire then I joined Care UK at our sister home Riverside.

The reason I joined Care UK is because of it’s company values and prospectus, it was also highly recommended by a close friend. In my role you need to have empathy, structure alongside a no nonsense attitude you need to be passionate, organised, respectful. I am also a Qualified Mental Health first aider.

In my spare time I enjoy driving, spending time with my friends and family and watching true crime documentaries.
