Karen Howell
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.

Tracey Buchan

Carolyn Tyrer
I worked for many years in airline industry in terminal management and for a well-known airline. Following on from that, I worked as a business manager, which was right before I joined the care sector.
My first role in the care sector was as a manager for a healthcare sector on the south coast, and I then went on to working in sales and marketing for care homes.
I started in this sector as a relative trying to find a care home for my mum, who couldn't support herself any longer. From that day, I knew I wanted to help and support others in the same situation, and make this transition easier for them, and so I worked for the care group of the home my mum was in until she sadly passed away there.
Whilst there, I supported 2 care homes and a new build. I wanted to continue in this sector, and there was a vacancy at Barchester for a home services advisor doing sales and marketing for one of their new builds in Eastbourne. I was really excited to be offered the role—and here I am!
