Hayley Simmonds

Hayley Simmonds

General Manager

Hello. My name is Hayley, and I am the General Manager here at Hagley Place. Welcome to our website.

I have worked with Barchester for 12 years, all of which I have spent at Hagley Place.

The residents and staff at Hagley Place mean the world to me and so when the opportunity came to step up and support the home it was an honour to take the reins.

I have been a nurse for over 20 years and can honestly say that caring for others is the most rewarding thing I could have ever done with my life and I’m excited to be able to use that knowledge and experience to help benefit the lives of all within Hagley Place and support their families.

I previously worked at Telford PRH in the acute medical unit as a band 5 RGN. I have a real passion for quality care am a Dementia Friends Champion.

Francesca Short

Francesca Short

Administrator

Since joining Hagley Place I’ve loved being involved with the residents and getting to know them and their stories.  I enjoy the variety of my role and the fact that no two days are ever the same.  The genuine care and respect shown to all residents and staff provide such an engaging and enjoyable atmosphere.  I visited my mum here for two years whilst she was in care, and today it still feels like coming home.

Steve Allan

Steve Allan

Acting Head Chef

I started working as a chef in 2018 and chose to move into the care sector because it provided a more personal touch. You get to know the people you are cooking for, their likes and dislikes and their memories that they associate with their favourite meals.

Food can be deeply personal and bring back memories of family dinners, fun times with friends and your own personal recipes that you have passed down the generations.

Becoming a chef in a care setting allows me to help bring back those happy memories for our residents and learn their stories.
