Meet the Mount House and Severn View team
Our wonderful team comprises nurses, carers, activities coordinators, chefs, housekeepers and more. These people are here to ensure that residents enjoy their time at the home and are supported to live life to the fullest. Meet some of our staff below:
Claire Cowper
Hi, my name is Claire, and I am the General Manager here at Mount House and Severn View.
I originally started at Ottley House Care Home (a sister Barchester care home) many years ago as a Care Assistant. I left to continue my development and to complete my mental health nurse training, which was something that I had always wanted to do and an area that I was very passionate about.
I am still very passionate about my role and ensuring that residents receive the highest standard of care and are treated with dignity and respect at all times.
I returned to Ottley House in 2015 as the Head of Unit for Memory Lane. I remained in this position for 18 months and worked hard with my team to move the unit forward and successfully achieved Barchester's dementia care training accreditation.
In January 2017, I took a post at a different company, which gave me the experience managing a large nursing home.
In February 2018, there came an opportunity for me to return to Ottley House as the Deputy Manager, which I did without hesitation, and I am now at Mount House and Severn View as the General Manager.
