Meet the Manager

Hi, I’m Helen and am proud to be the General Manager of Southwoods Nursing home.

I qualified as a Registered Nurse in 1983 and focussed my nursing career working for the NHS for almost 20 years before moving to the private sector.

My journey into care home management began in 2002 and have worked for a number of care providers, ranging from small independent companies, to larger, well known corporate ones.

I am committed to ensuring the delivery of person centered quality care to older people. My particular passion is with caring for people living with a dementia and developing and maintaining a strong quality of life in our home.

Together with my team we will work to ensure our residents receive the best care possible’

Testimonials

Below are a selection of our most recent testimonials featuring the delightful feedback from our valued residents and families.

During my mother’s stay at Southwoods, I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Living 300 miles away, I could not visit very regularly. My daily contact by phone to speak with Mum was never a problem and the staff cheerfully took the phone to Mum so that I could have a conversation. If I

had any questions about Mum’s welfare, eating habits or visitors she had had they were able to look at Mum’s notes and let me know.
Not having to pre book a visit, I could turn up anytime and always found Mum’s cleanliness to be extremely good.
The staff were very accommodating and cheerful.
Mum had daily visits from her friends in the area and not a single one raised any concern about Mum’s care.
Thank you all for caring for Mum in what sadly turned out to be for only a short time.

Overall Experience

Mark S (Son of Resident)

Southwoods Nursing Home, 10 August 2022

My father was in Southwoods for just over a year. Right from the start, he was made very welcome by the staff. He passed away recently, but in the time spent at Southwoods, he had grown to love the staff, and likewise, the staff loved him. He didn’t want to go into a home, but they made his last year

a happy one.

Southwoods Nursing Home, 30 May 2022

My aunt was admitted for end of life care directly from the hospital. She was immediately happier and eating hearty food provided by the home. She talked about each member of staff and how kind they all were. When we visited, we were warmly welcomed and shown where she was at that time (eg, in the dining

room or her bedroom). They were in regular contact giving us updates on her medical condition. Sadly, my aunt’s illness meant that she deteriorated quickly, after only a month in the nursing home, but during that time, we were able to sit with her for as long as we wished, and the staff provided us frequently with refreshments, including freshly prepared food. Every member of staff – nurses, care assistants administrative and support staff – were so kind. Our family cannot thank them enough.

a happy one.

Overall Experience

Janet M (Niece of Resident)

Southwoods Nursing Home, 16 May 2022

Although my father has been a resident for a short while (6-months), the care and attention have been excellent. At 102, his physicality is failing, but his mind is still very sharp, so the banter between him and the staff, from the cleaners to top management, is very reassuring and makes his life at

the home acceptable to someone who’s been an independent businessman most of his life.
