Kerry Angeloni

General Manager

Hello, I am Kerry, the General Manager at Maple Leaf Lodge. I joined Barchester in 2017 and am an experienced member of the regional leadership team.

I have management qualifications and have many years' experience of managing care homes before coming to Barchester. I enjoy building relationships with residents and their families, responding to individual care needs and reassuring relatives that their loved one is in good hands at Maple Leaf Lodge.

I believe it is also vital for me to build good working relationships with all team members at our home, making sure they feel confident and supported in their roles. I like to guide staff by setting an example of how to provide care and support with the utmost dignity.

On a daily basis I seek to enrich residents' lives by making sure we offer a choice of activities, conversation and entertainment.
