My name is Kate and I've been at Ross Court Care Home for 10 years and have done various different roles within the home. I have now taken the next step in my career and taken on the role of Deputy Manager. I’m very much a people person, that’s why I love working in care. I’m also up for a laugh and am happy to joke and join in with the activities the residents are doing, after all its keeping them happy.

Hi, my name is Louise and I joined Ross Court in July 2020 as Home Administrator. I have several years of experience in administration, but this is the first time within a care home. I am really enjoying my new role as I class myself as a people's person.

And so, I love being able to engage with the residents and their families. It brings a whole new dimension to my working day.

I have worked as a Chef for over 30 years and food is my passion. I have worked 20 years in fine dining and have worked as a Chef in a private boarding school. I feel that the post in the school helped prepare me for this post. I am aware that there are many dietary requirements within different sectors and enjoy finding ways to meet these needs while maintaining the highest quality of dining experience.

I like the quote "You are only as good as your last meal" I remind myself of this quote daily and take it as a personal challenge to ensure every meal is my best.

Hi my name is Helena, I’ve worked here at Ross Court Care Home as a hostess for 8 years, I’ve made lots of friends from staff, relatives and residents. I have 20+ years working in hospitality and enjoy catering for people’s needs. Understanding their individual meal time likes and dislikes allows me to provide the quality service they deserve.

Hi, I'm Susan, Head of Housekeeping here at Ross Court, I've worked here for over 20 years. Starting as a holiday cover girl, I've been here throughout the homes renovations from main manor house to it now having its beautiful large two story extension. I love every aspect of this home, and the team work hard to ensure it truly is a 'home from home' for the residents.

Hi, my name is Lindsey and as activities coordinator within Ross Court I strive to create meaningful activities that promote social interaction and stimulate mobility. Having worked in care from the age of 17, I have experience in many different sectors of care and have accumulated skills that help me to approach my role with confidence and enthusiasm.

I’m passionate about the life enrichment of our residents, making meaningful connections to keep them involved in any previous interests or hobbies is a priority for me; “Life is for Living” and laughter can be infectious.
