Meet The Manager
Sarah Marquiss is The Registered Manager at Home Instead Milton Keynes.
I started in Health and Social Care 17 years ago, when I moved from London to Buckinghamshire. I had two small daughters and wanted something I could do as well as being a mum. Over the years I have worked as a carer and ran day care centres for the elderly with the British Red Cross. I joined Home Instead in February 2012 when the office was first established. I have always been passionate about good quality care that was central to each individual, and the Home Instead ethos matched this. When starting with Home Instead I was the Registered Care Manager, as the company grew, I developed into the Operations Manager, more recently I have been promoted to the General Manager of the company. I truly believe that we are the best home care company in our area, who has a passionate team in the office and out on the field. Whenever I get free time, I love to travel and embrace new experiences.

| The Importance Of Meal Times |

|
As we age, our appetites and attitudes to food change, and because of this and other developments, older people have an increased risk of becoming malnourished. It is often an overlooked health matter as people believe that malnourishment is a consequence of a marked loss of weight, but this isn’t necessarily the case. Anyone of any size can be malnourished and so we want to raise awareness of the issue in the wider community and help to educate families on the risks, the signs and the ways to combat malnourishment when caring for their loved ones. |
