Meet the Alice Grange Care Home team

I qualified as an RGN in 1995 in the Philippines, worked in Saudia Arabia as a critical care nurse and have worked with Andrea Cowely in other care establishments, making us a good team. We are both here to grow with the existing team at Alice Grange.

I am extremely passionate about the work that I do, having many years of experience working at a managerial level, and I am very passionate about dementia care and person-centred care. 

I am delighted to work with the residents and their families and staff here at Alice Grange.

My name is Ann-Marie and I am the Team Leader on our residential community, which is called Cherry Blossom. I have worked here since 2013, and I am proud to have been promoted a few times, leading to my current role as Team Leader. I really enjoy my job and like helping the residents live well and independently.

Hello, my name is Penny and I am the lead activities co-ordinator here at Alice Grange. I have been working in the care industry for over 7 years now. I started as a support worker but have specialised in activities over 4 years ago. I am very passionate about activities because I love seeing the joy it brings on resident’s faces. My goal is to help the residents in our home live life to the full. In order to be able to do this, it is so important for me to build relationships with both the residents and the families and learn more about those living in our home.

We have a range of activities on offer at Alice Grange, but if you ever have any questions or suggestions then please come and see me!

My name is Jo and I am one of the home's Care Practitioners. My dream is to be a nurse and I am loving all of the experience I am gaining in this role. I am very proud to work at the Alice Grange and love helping residents to live safely and happily here. I started my career as a Carer and have enjoyed being a Senior Carer and now a Care Practitioner. I love my job!

Hi, my name is Tracey and I am a Hostess here at Alice Grange. I love my job and I love being able to help residents. It is my responsibility to ensure that mealtimes are social and to help keep the residents topped up with tea and homemade cake. My favourite part of the job is spending time with residents and chatting about their day.

Terry Daly (Maintenance Manager) and Philip Janson (Maintenance Assistant) make up our maintenance team here at Alice Grange.

Terry has been nominated several times in regional awards for his work and Philip started with us as a Carer and evolved, using his experience and qualifications from his time in the Merchant Navy in this new role. We are very proud of them!

Both work very hard to enable us to live and work in a safe and beautiful environment.

This is one of our amazing volunteers, who help us make the home so full of life and love. Eileen has just been told she is through to the finals of the Great British Care Awards, which is being held on 15th November.

Eileen is an inspiration to us all. She is very kind, funny and full of energy and at the core of what we do. We love Eileen and are endlessly proud of her achievements. We think she is a winner for sure!
