Meet The Manager
Bethany Powley is Home Manager at Gloucester House.
Hi, my name is Bethany and I am Home Manager of Gloucester House.
I am passionate about the Eden Alternative philosophy of care. This approach is creating a culture that is inclusive, caring and fun for our residents, their families & friends and our staff team to live, visit and work in.
Gloucester House is a purpose built care home situated a few minutes away from the Sevenoaks town centre.
It is managed by Greensleeves Care a not-for-profit organisation and one of the best and most respected care charities in the country.
Gloucester House cares for those with differing nursing needs as well as caring for those with dementia or cognitive impairment.
The home is situated across 2 floors, each floor being split into 2 villages. This provides the home with 4 villages overall which all have communal lounges and dining facilities.
The home also has a main dining room and lounge along with a physiotherapy room, pub and hairdressing room.
All bedrooms come fully furnished with wet rooms (shower, toilet & basin) with all ground floor rooms offering garden views front and back.
An added benefit to our home is the physiotherapy service which is delivered on site at no additional cost.
