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.

Our care

Celebrating life, individuality and dignity is all part of the Barchester philosophy, so the care we provide is designed around these values. We understand that each person has individual needs, so our staff are trained to deliver bespoke, person-centred care to those we support.

Types of care

Residential Care

Our residential care is ideal for frail older people that would benefit from additional care and support, but without the need for specialist nursing or dementia care.
