Lili Cocue

General Manager

Hi, my name is Lili and I am the General Manager here at Wilsmere House Care Centre.

I first joined Barchester as a carer in 2004. I have been in various managerial positions since 2010, and have been a General Manager at Wilsmere from June 2015. As a General Manager, my main duty is to guarantee that all residents receive the best care possible. I ensure that resident’s choices are respected and all of their needs met. I work closely with my highly trained and talented team in order to make sure all residents is happy, and that they continue to live life on their terms, in the best possible environment. We maintain our high standards, which have been reflected in our recent CQC report and ratings.

I started at Wilsmere House in 1993 as a Care Assistant. I was promoted to Senior Care Assistant after completing my NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Care and then completed the NVQ Level 3 in Management. From 2005 until 2013 I was a Hotel Services Manager responsible for the Catering, Housekeeping and Laundry Services and I worked my way up to non clinical Deputy overseeing the Catering, Laundry, Housekeeping and Care Staff. I work along side my Manager, Lili Cocue and Ramona Dita the Clinical Deputy, to ensure that the high standards of care and service is maintained. Wilsmere House provides a friendly and warm welcoming home where residents and everybody that work or visit the home are made to feel at home.
