Julie Bayes

General Manager

Welcome to Ashfields Care Home. My name is Julie Bayes and I am the General Manager here.

Previously, I had been working as a Deputy Manager for Barchester Healthcare for 6 and a half years.

I have been fortunate to work with a number of client groups in both the private and public sector including, the Royal British Legion.

I have been in care for over 20 years, working with learning difficulties, children, mental health, elderly and dementia.

Work around Dementia is a passion of mine, as my own mum had this, and I truly believe in the saying never judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes.

I am very passionate about the care of dementia and I am excited about my new role and look forward to taking Ashfields forward to a positive future.

"I have always found Ashfields welcoming when visiting my mother who has dementia and finds it hard to communicate.
The carers are always on hand to help if she requires help.
They show kind and sensitive care, with hugs and cuddles to help Mum feel at home.
Mum now requires assistance at meal times but patience is always shown even when Mum becomes aggressive.
Mum doesn't like baths/showers but the carers pick their times when Mum is in a receptive mood showing individual care."
