Meet the Lawton Rise Care Home Team

I started my Nursing Career in the NHS working in Acute Medicine and Emergency and Trauma Nursing. It was during this time that I developed a passion for dementia care and took on the role of dementia champion advocating for patients living with dementia and their families in acute environments, often in extremely challenging circumstances.

I joined Lawton Rise in March 2018 as a night nurse, driven by a deep commitment to dementia care. From my very first shift, I felt at home and quickly recognised not only the compassion and dedication within the team, but also the great potential to develop Lawton Rise into a true beacon of dementia care within our community.

Over the years, I have been privileged to support residents and their families with empathy, respect, and dignity, ensuring that every individual feels safe, valued, and understood. My journey from night nurse to Home Manager has been shaped by this passion and by a belief that excellent dementia care is about more than meeting clinical needs — it is about creating a home where people can continue to live well, with purpose and joy.

As Manager, I am proud to lead a team who share this vision, and together we strive to make Lawton Rise a place where residents and families feel supported, cared for, and truly at home.
