Meet The Manager
Helen Walters is Registered Manager at Kimberley Care Village.
I am a qualified RMN, I have worked in health care as both a nurse and nursing assistant for over 34 years in a variety of settings both within the NHS and private nursing and care homes. My very first qualified nurse job was in an adolescent service, moving into a senior nurse in both forensic and acute settings finishing off the latter years in Dementia services.
I believe we work in the resident’s home, they don’t reside in our workplace; life for those individuals diagnosed with Dementia should be filled with as much happiness, singing, dancing, love, laughter and smiles from those of us who support them.
About Us
