Raciel Sagun

General Manager

Hello, my name is Raciel and I am the General Manager of Alice Grange. As manager I take responsibility for inspiring and leading the whole team and ensuring the highest standards of care.

Since 2010, I have had the privilege of serving residents within the healthcare sector through managing and leading front line care services for our elderly population. I have come into contact with many individuals who have shared their life experiences and wisdom, this has reinforced my sense of duty and heightened my level of respect for our elders.

My passion is for individualised care. I truly believe in the values of responsibility, integrity, kindness, compassion and doing what we can do for others. I love to see my residents happy with a full smile on their faces, content and having a wonderful quality of life whilst in our home.

The team and I are fully committed to embedding the core principles of empathy, care, compassion and integrity in the Alice Grange community.

My door is always open so do not hesitate to come and talk to me, should you need anything.
