Meet The Manager
Lisa Edwards is Manager at Edgehill Care Home.
Lisa Edwards is the registered manager of Edgehill Care Home in Swindon. We have a very experienced and skilled staff group with many years’ of experience.
Swindon's Edgehill Care Home offers quality private, respite and palliative care for people aged 65+ with dementia or serious mental health needs.
They have a range of expertise in caring for people with mixed dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease and Lewy bodies dementia.
Through a comprehensive needs assessment, they get to know their residents, but more than that, they take time to slowly construct a detailed picture of residents' individual history, what matters to them and their interests. We tailor our care and support with as much information as possible.
As the needs of our residents shift, so does the level and type of care they receive. We care for them as individuals, surrounded by all the benefits of living in a community.
We care for relatives as well as residents and do not have set visiting times, so our door is always open. We also have a quarterly residents' and families' forum.
