Ben Patterson
General Manager
Hi, my name is Ben and I am the General Manager here at Appletree Grange. Welcome to our website!
I have worked for Barchester since 2022, bringing my experience and dedication to my role. Through my experiences, I have developed a deep understanding of both the operational and clinical aspects of care services. I began my career at Barchester as a Deputy Manager at our sister home North Park, where I honed my skills in person centred care, team leadership and compliance management. I was then seconded into my role as Implementation Lead for our new e-Care Platform, I was responsible for driving the adoption of the new social care model across our 250 homes and hospitals, and I have a wealth of experience in change management because of this role.
As the General Manager here at Appletree Grange, I am focused on fostering a culture of continuous improvement and ensuring that we continue to provide outstanding person centred care that falls in line with our service user’s preferences, wishes and values.
