Hello and welcome, I am Haley Reeve-Larson, and I am the General Manager here at Kenwyn. Welcome to our website!

With over a decade’s worth of experience in health and social care, I am a passionate registered manager with a wealth of knowledge including managing nursing, residential and community care. I have extensive knowledge in supporting residents with a dementia to live well and have a passion for encouraging dementia friendly support within our local community. As a dementia champion and dementia care mapper with the University of Bradford I am competent in supporting colleagues to understand quality care for those living with a dementia.

Majority of my career has been working in Falmouth with the local community and healthcare professionals and therefore have a solid understanding of how best to support our local residents.

I have a very active role in the lives of all residents, ensuring resident-centred care is delivered by every member of staff to a high standard. My passion for quality care is fuelled by my own personal experiences of placing loves ones in the hands of care teams. I feel my own experiences have moulded me into the manager I am today and take pride in my ability to support residents, families and friends to make informed choices about the care options available to them including how to live as independently for as long as possible.

I look forward to welcoming you at Kenwyn.
