Robert Dura-May

General Manager

Hi, my name is Robert, and I am the General Manager here at Lydfords.

I joined Barchester Healthcare as I was looking to use my life skills to enhance both the life of residents and team members.  I liked the values and description of Barchester as a care provider.

I really enjoy the daily challenges, team recruitment and always pushing and exceeding performance where I can.  I also enjoy adding value, enhancing care and giving elder life purpose to enable residents to engage in a fulfilled life.

I am passionate about delivering the levels and standards of care that I would expect for my own parents, who are sadly no longer with us. If I had known about Barchester when my own parents required care, my family would have not experienced such pain and anxiety, this is why I chose Barchester to ensure that other families do not, where possible, have to endure what I have experienced in the past.

I have over 25 years’ experience in the NHS, Private and Public business and have worked in the care sector with children, young adults, adults with acquired brain injury and the last 10 years in Elderly Care.

I have recently studied with Open University to ensure decisions made at the home reflect best practice in providing a safe community.

Making a difference to people's lives throughout my career has been my biggest achievement. I strive to continually develop which ensures that the individuals I care for experience the very best care and life enrichment in later life.

Every day is an achievement, delivering and pushing the levels of care to exceed the expectations of Barchester and myself.
