Meet The Manager
Alison Lawrence is Home Manager at St Michaels Court.
My name is Alison Lawrence, I am the manager of St. Michael's Court in Aylsham.
I am a Registered Nurse with over 30 years' experience in both the NHS and private sector. My background in nursing includes experience in complex care, spinal injuries and continuing healthcare.
I feel privileged to come to work every day and care for the residents at St. Michael's Court, and ensure that myself and my compassionate team provide the best quality care within a calm, homely environment.
Recently, we've become involved in the national 'Postcards of Kindness' initiative. This has been really beneficial! Our residents receive letters and postcards from across the country, each telling a story and sharing an experience and our residents feel they have many new friends dotted across the country.
We all look forward to welcoming you to our home soon.
