Meet The Manager

I have been a Home Manager of Greensleeves for the past 17 years and have previously run care homes in Kent. I started my career as a Nurse and have worked with the elderly for most of my career. I operate an open door policy and will always have time for a chat and a cup of tea. I am proud of the team I lead and am totally confident that all in our care lead a fulfilled life, in a family environment.
