Karen Howell

General Manager

Hi, my name is Karen, and I am the General Manager here. Welcome to our website!

I have been a registered nurse since 1990. I have worked in both the NHS and the private sector. As a General Manager, my aim is to ensure that, along with my team, we continue to deliver person-centred care to those we support, placing them at the heart of everything we do and meeting individual needs with the passion and commitment they deserve.

I am passionate about setting and maintaining high standards of care with attention to detail.

Kristen Palaj

Deputy Manager

I really love working at Mortain Place and have many years of experience working in care homes and with the elderly, I enjoy the challenges and no two days are the same.

Joshua Pearmain

Home Services Advisor

I have previously been working at a care home in Bromley and, prior to that, another in Orpington, so I am experienced in the sector.

I love coming to work every day to chat with the residents and getting involved in any activities we have going on throughout the home. I also enjoy going out in the local community and promoting the home at any events that may be happening.

Working in a care home environment is very rewarding, and there is a lovely atmosphere at Mortain Place, so I have settled in very quickly and already feel a part of the team.
