Meet The Manager
John Kelly is Home Manager at Kingswood Mount Care Home.
Hi, my Name is John. I am the Home Manager of Kingswood Mount.
I have been a nurse since 2002 years and have been a home manager since 2012.
What keeps me doing the role is a sense of family and community. I don’t see the nursing home just as a nursing home, I see it as a big house and at the core of the house is family. That family includes the team, the residents and the residents' families and loved ones treating each other with respect and dignity that good family should do. It's a sense of belonging to the community that brings out the best in all of us and my home at Kingswood Mount feels like it very much belongs to the local community. A good manager involves everyone in decisions and choices that are made for the home, and I want all our families to also feel part of our big family.
Kingswood Mount is a purpose built home and is situated in Woolton, some 7 miles from Liverpool in a very quiet, pretty location, surrounded by trees and extensive private gardens. Harbour Healthcare have very recently acquired the home and brought along extensive experience of delivering high quality, personalised care.
The understanding of individual needs of nursing and residential residents, coupled with understanding the challenges faced by those living with dementia, will ensure that the home operates to the highest of care standards.
Dedicated training and leadership will ensure that the care team benefit from this enhanced focus on all that is essential for the best of care for residents.
Kingswood Mount is undergoing a programme of updating and refurbishment. Resident rooms are being redecorated with feature wallpapered wall with resident choice of colours and décor. The gardens, conservatories and lounges are also receiving the same care and attention, the whole emphasis is to improve the place residents call ‘home’. Harbour strive to ensure that residents feel settled, safe and ‘at home’ always.

Together we are dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of all, through quality, excellence and fun.

Before a resident moves to the home it is also helpful to gather information regarding a resident’s life story, which will go a long way to assist with a smooth and happy move in experience. Residents and families are also encouraged to bring along as many personal items as they need to make their rooms feel ‘like home’ and we can give every assistance to make that happen. |
