Meet The Manager
Francesca Cowley is Home Manager at Highmarket House.
As a Home Manager, I am constantly striving to make the home a better place. At Highmarket House we’re very passionate about supporting residents to live well, whether that’s delivering tailored activities, award-winning food or providing residents living with dementia namaste care, every department pulls together to support residents.
Having a role in leadership is a privilege, making the resident’s and teams day is important to me. I worked for Care UK for 5 years, Care UK is an excellent care provider to work for, it’s a growing organisation focused on the delivery of quality care.
Knowing I’m making a positive impact on residents' lives is what motivates me. I’m very proud of the way the team delivers exceptional care to residents and their loved ones. It’s one big family at Highmarket House and that’s what makes it a very special home. Everyone who works at Highmarket House takes a ‘whole home’ approach to caring for residents.
Highmarket House is a purpose-built home close to the centre of Banbury, providing the latest in luxurious facilities combined with high-quality care. The dedicated and skilled team offers a full range of residential care for older people, including short-term respite care and specialist care for people living with dementia. They also offer sensitive end-of-life care.
The team believes that when a person moves into a care home they should be able to continue to enjoy the lifestyle that they always have – keeping busy, seeing friends. Residents can enjoy being pampered in the hair salon and enjoy great food from the chef-lef kitchen team. Meanwhile you can have the peace of mind that expert care is on hand 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
