I joined as home manager in early 2014 and today I'm as committed to making this home the care home of choice for people in the Epsom area as I was back then.
As home manager Im passionate about providing the best possible care to residents to enhance their lives. I love involving residents and my team in how things are run. I believe my role is to lead by example to create a good culture at Appleby House. Its my job to motivate staff and promote their development through training and supervision. I thrive on working with my team to drive improvement – stretching them and seeing positive change happen.
I have to say that the best part of the day for me is walking around the home talking to residents and staff. We always have a good laugh and its the time when I get the inspiration to make any changes that are needed.
What I dont need to change at Appleby House is the terrific atmosphere: its so friendly and welcoming, and new visitors are always struck by that. We also offer a huge range of quality care services – particularly around dementia care – which sets us apart from our competitors.
I was over the moon and unbelievably proud when we achieved an outstanding overall rating from the Care Quality Commission in 2019, with outstanding ratings for four of the five areas the inspectors look at (we're the only care home in Surrey currently to achieve this). We really are the 'Appleby Family' and this achievement reflects the incredible outcomes that we create for residents and their families. It also demonstrates the passion, vision and love that colleagues, residents, relatives and our friends in the community have for the home.
