Meet The Manager
Heather Said is Care Home Manager at The Pines Nursing Home.
I began my nursing career in South Africa where I trained in a large university training hospital. It was a fantastic experience that helped me develop the skills and experience that formed the foundation of my nursing career. Ten years ago, I relocated to the United Kingdom where I worked as a nurse and then as a Nursing Home Manager.
I believe in maintaining strong relationships with residents and their relatives, and understand the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of a care home.
I feel that the Caring Homes philosophy matches up well with my own beliefs on care provision, and I am committed to ensuring that all our residents continue to receive the high levels of care and protection they deserve.
The Pines nursing home in Wandsworth, London is situated in a beautiful period property and provides an oasis of tranquility in vibrant Putney. The Pines provides residential and nursing care for up to 42 elderly residents in a beautiful, charming house with a delightful atmosphere.
The original house was a substantial family home. Following a sympathetic conversion, the house has been complemented with an attractive purpose built wing offering the very highest standards of accommodation, both in residents’ en-suite bedrooms and in communal areas. In addition to dining and day rooms, a real highlight is the central courtyard and patio area where residents can reflect on times past and look forward to future activities.
The Pines offers a full range of residential and nursing care support, including trial stays, short stay, convalescent and long-term care. Residents are encouraged to bring important personal possessions to personalise their rooms.
We work to the nationally accredited Gold Standard Framework in palliative care at The Pines, ensuring the very highest standard of care during a person’s last days. This enables residents to remain in their care home, rather than having to relocate to a hospital or a hospice at such a difficult time.
The Pines operates an open visiting policy, where residents and loved ones may visit at convenient times for them.
