Meet The Manager
Francisca Owusu-Ansah is Home Manager at Mount Hall Care Home.
My first role in Bupa was as a staff nurse, then unit manager, before progressing to clinical deputy manager and then home manager in June 2024.I qualified as a Registered nurse in Ghana in 2002. I have previous experience of working in the NHS and as a haemodialysis nurse for a private dialysis company. The bulk of my experience has however been working in care homes in a variety of roles. Although I have pursued other career ambitions, my passion for working with the elderly always brought me back to the sector.I love working here as it means so much to me to be part of a supportive team that continuously strives to be world class in the care in the we deliver, through meaningful engagement with residents, their families and staff. I am a mother of four and in my spare time I and enjoy spending time with my family.
Set within the beautiful Cheshire countryside, in the rural village of Bollington, this Georgian home has been carefully modernised and refurbished to provide a high standard of accommodation and facilities. Committed to providing individualised care, Mount Hall is a nursing home with a dedicated team of staff who work hard to understand the needs of each resident. Care plans are offered for short and long term needs and include palliative and Parkinson's care. Most bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and views of the large landscaped gardens and all can be personalised to promote familiarity. The chef is proactive in getting to know each resident’s dietary needs and checks regularly to make sure residents remain happy by offering a selection of tasty and nutritious homemade meals. Residents benefit from the home’s dedicated activity coordinator who arranges both daily and monthly activities such as film afternoons and garden parties.
