Meet The Manager
Azalea Moses is Home Manager at Amberley Lodge.
Before moving to Care UK I had been a Nursing Unit Manager. I was keen to work for Care UK because of its great reputation. It's a well-established organisation and it has a very clear vision for the care it strives to deliver to residents.
I've seen that vision in action at Amberley Lodge: we achieved an ‘outstanding CQC rating in 2018, and it was fantastic to be part of the team that achieved that. Becoming the home manager is definitely a career highlight for me.
I always look forward to the time I can get away from my desk and spend with residents and colleagues. It reminds me why I love what I do. Amberley Lodge definitely feels like a family home, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to start my managerial career. The support and warmth that the team receives from families, residents and each other is incredible. It's one of the many reasons why I'm here.
Amberley Lodge is a CQC ‘Outstanding’ rated care home (May 2024) in Purley, Surrey. The dedicated team provide personalised residential and dementia care in wonderful surroundings.
The Surrey care home is passionate about helping residents enjoy a fulfilling life. Residents can relax in the homely lounges, onsite café and cinema room. All bedrooms have an ensuite bathroom and are fully furnished, with resident’s welcome to personalise their rooms to feel more at home.
