Meet The Manager

Anna has approximately 15 years experience in the care sector. Anna has a NVQ2 and NVQ3 in Health and Social Care and a level 5 in leadership and Management.
Headroomgate Care Home is a very personal and family orientated Home in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, catering for residential care of adults over and under 65 years old. We offer long term permanent placements, short term placements and respite care. We can accommodate both local authority funded care and private funded care.
Headroomgate Care Home is a former Edwardian gentleman’s residence that has been sympathetically converted to create a unique residential Home. Headroomgate was constructed in 1912 and retains many period features including the original rockery in the front garden of the home. Headroomgate was used as a school from the 1950s until 1986 when it closed and became a nursing home. The home is fully equipped to meet the individual needs of its residents, whilst retaining a homely and inviting environment.
