Meet The Manager
Louise Vickers is Home Manager at Miramar Care Home.
"I have been a Registered Nurse for 12 years, starting my career in community nursing within the NHS before moving into care homes in 2018 and joining Miramar Care Home in 2024. My journey in care began at 17, working in a residential home in Larkfield, Kent. Alongside being a Registered Nurse, I am also a Specialist Practitioner District Nurse and was honoured to be awarded the title of Queen’s Nurse in 2022 by the Queen’s Nursing Institute.
At Miramar Care Home, I am proud to lead a compassionate and skilled team, ensuring every resident feels valued, safe, and cared for in a warm environment. I believe a positive atmosphere benefits both residents and staff.
Outside of work, I am married and have two sons and have a menagerie of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, and parrots. I’m also a keen biker and currently ride a Harley Davidson."
Miramar is a thriving care home in Herne Bay, with stunning views of the Thames Estuary. It features excellent facilities, beautiful
surroundings, and a highly trained care team on hand 24 hours a day.

Excellent care standards, beautiful surroundings and the independence of your own front door are all qualities that truly set Miramar Care Home apart. Our community is ideally situated in the garden of England, boasting a stunning coastal setting overlooking the sea, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. We recently converted our top floor to independent retirement living apartments. People kept asking us whether renting apartments without any care packages was possible, so we converted our entire top floor to offer this popular independent living arrangement. With views of the busy sea lanes and walkers following the Kent Saxon Shore Way, our residence feels connected. With its free parking and the popular nearby towns of Whitstable and Margate, Miramar offers the perfect location to explore Kent and the wider southeast of England. We welcome individuals and couples alike, whether you are seeking independent retirement living, residential care, or assisted living. We also offer shorter-term respite care and post-operative convalescence, and sometimes, the retired just want a break by the sea! |
