I joined Nicholas James Care Home’s in June 2000 as a part time care assistant. The company was supportive, and I enjoyed working in such a friendly environment. In 2007, my career progressed to deputy manager, this supporting role gave me everything I needed to further my career and in 2014 I became the registered manager for Dale Lodge & Dale Mount! I am a very dedicated and loyal person when it comes to both family and work, I always look for team members that are honest, accountable, have integrity and good principles. Together, we enable residents to be who they are as individuals and provide peace of mind to families by ensuring everyone is treated with the upmost respect and dignity. I am extremely honoured and privileged to be a part of this established company.

I have been an activity provider at Dale Lodge and Dale Mount for over 10 years, providing a wide range of activities that not only bring diversity but also enhance an individual's mental health and wellbeing, giving them a sense of inclusivity and a purpose to their day. I strive to ensure that all my clients feel happy, safe and understood, going above and beyond to ensure their days are enriching, full of fun, laughter, and love. I am absolutely delighted to have not only won the regional award for the Great British Care Awards but also the finals in Birmingham for Activity Organiser! These awards not only represent my journey, but the journey of those I have the pleasure of working with everyday!
When the time comes when your parent can no longer live independently, it is one of the hardest decisions to make to move them into the care of someone else. However Dale Lodge has fulfilled all expectations in keeping Mum safe, well cared for and respected. I have nothing but gratitude and thankfulness that Mum is being cared for by this wonderful team.
