I have worked in the health sector for a number of years and bring with me a considerable amount of experience in care, both in the community and in a care setting. I joined the team at Caldy Manor in 2015 initially working as a Senior Carer at the home and progressed to Deputy Home Manager in February 2020 and I am looking forward to taking on more responsibility with my new role.

I am an experienced Activities Coordinator. I have been in this role for the last four years and have worked in residential, nursing and EMI settings, in both care homes and the community.

I feel it is important for care homes to promote independence and allow residents to continue with previous hobbies and interests, as well as encouraging new experiences.

My particular interest is in arts and crafts.

I have been at Caldy Manor for nearly five years. I work hard to provide the best care possible for our residents. Their wellbeing and happiness is very important to me. I want to help residents maintain their independence for as long as possible and I’m there to listen to any concerns they have.

When I’m not working I look after my family and enjoy long walks with our dog.

Andrea is our Resident Ambassador and such an important part of our family at the home always remaining positive with a smile and this last year we have needed that. Andie has such a loveable character she will have you talking before you know it.  Andie makes everyone feel welcome and loves giving tours to newcomers around our home!

Her son lives in New York who we speak to very regularly. He has said over the last year that he is ‘so pleased she is with you, she’s safer with you than at home’ and this has given him real reassurance in such a trying time
