Meet The Manager
Helen Rushton is Home Director at Green Tree Court.
I have been privileged to have been the Home Director/Registered Manager at Green Tree Court since 2015 and I’m responsible for all aspects of the day to day running of the home. As a Registered General Nurse, I have over 30 years’ experience in the care home sector at all levels, including Home Manager, Operations Manager, Regional Manager, and National Consultant. I also hold several qualifications in business, management , clinical, and dementia care.
I was born and bred in the local area where I live with my family and I’m passionate about the aims and ethos of Green Tree Court and all it stands for. I am incredibly proud of the team here and it is a credit to them all that we were honoured to be crowned Care Home of the Year at the National Care Awards in 2018. I always endeavour to provide the best of everything to all of our residents and support those around them. Together, we are one big Green Tree Court family that always has a warm welcome!
At Green Tree Court we believe there’s no greater luxury than time. That’s why we always make time: time to chat, time to get to know you, time to create a luxurious environment, and time to understand your individual needs. We never cut corners: quite the reverse. We set our own minimum levels of care and they’re much, much higher than anything required to meet government standards. Our goal is to ensure that whatever task our people are engaged in, they have time to do it with pride and care.
Like our top class chef who constantly creates new dishes to excite our residents. Our dedicated cleaning team who work round the clock to make sure everything is always in perfect condition. Our team of hosts who are here for you, whatever you need and whenever you need it. Our therapy team who provide the highest standards of physio and occupational therapy on-site. And most importantly, our specialist carers and nurses, who have the expertise to give you the individual care you deserve at every stage of life.
After all, this is your life and we want you to start living again. For those that want it and are able, we offer every kind of activity from theatre visits to yoga, poetry readings to the pub. Or you may simply want to sit and enjoy our beautiful landscaped gardens.
Whatever you want to do, it’s your choice. Enjoy bubble baths while listening to Frank Sinatra? Our top of the range facilities make it possible, whatever your mobility issues. Love horses but can’t ride them anymore? We’ll do all we can to keep your interest alive – including bringing horses to you at the home. Want to host your family on Christmas Day? The more the merrier.
Make the most of your time and make yourself completely at home. Choose Green Tree Court.
