Meet The Manager
Kim Horton is Manager at Nynehead Court.
Kim's journey at Nynehead Court is truly inspiring. Starting at just sixteen in the pantry, she steadily worked her way up through dedication and continuous learning. Completing her NVQs in Health and Social Care, she progressed from a carer to a senior role, then head of Mulberry Wing, and eventually head of care. Her deep understanding of the home and commitment to high-quality care made her the perfect choice to step into the manager role in April 2025.
Her story reflects the values of Nynehead Court—nurturing talent, fostering growth, and ensuring residents receive the best possible care.
