Meet The Manager
Melanie Powell is General Manager at Park View Care Centre.
Melanie, joined the RCH Family in August of 2023. As a qualified nurse, Mel has worked in Health and Social Care for almost 16 years and after spending time working in the NHS, community nursing and hospice care she moved into care home management. As a manager she strives to inspire and support those she is working with, ‘through mentoring and training I enjoy being able to support the team, empowering them to reach their goals.’ Mel is dedicated to developing and fostering strong relations and partnerships with loved ones, friends and family, the multidisciplinary teams and the local Ashford community. Since joining the home Mel has strived to continue to foster the person-centred and family orientated atmosphere at the heart of the home.
Situated in a pleasant area, Park View Care Centre is purpose-built and carefully designed to support our residents to live happy, fulfilled and comfortable lives.
Located over two floors, our home includes light and airy, open plan lounges/diners as well as spacious en-suite bedrooms, and a variety of communal spaces such as a bar, quiet room and hair salon.
Our landscaped gardens are wheelchair accessible and designed to be a welcoming place for people to relax on one of the patios complete with outdoor furniture, or to enjoy a spot of light gardening in the raised flower beds.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Supporting our residents to enjoy every day living at Park View Care Centre is a key focus for our dedicated team. By getting to know each person, we are able to tailor our activities and events to their likes and dislikes as well as activities they may like to try. No two days are the same here and, alongside our usual daily hobby-based activities, we also like to host events which are a little out of the ordinary. In addition to keeping fit with our chair-based exercises, art therapy, quizzes, movie afternoons, and our knit and natter club, we also take great pleasure in regularly welcoming nursery school children from our neighbouring day nursery, Jelly Beans, which is next door. Both our residents and the children get so much joy from their weekly visits, as they spend time chatting and taking part in a variety of activities together. As well as the little ones, we also welcome visiting entertainers, school pupils, and other local groups to our home to enjoy spending time with our residents who love getting dressed up for our themed days throughout the year — complete with themed menus and decorations! |
