Meet The Manager
Mark Reed is Registered Manager at The Georgians Nursing Home.
I was 15 when I started working at the Georgians on a youth training scheme and stayed 7 years and was team leader when I left to explore further career opportunities. I have worked in care for 32 years in various roles at senior level and in intensive care for many years. I am a certified care home practitioner enabling me to carry out a clinical role, certified manual handling, first aid trainer and have a care manager qualification and a level 5 leadership and management qualification.
The Georgians Nursing Home is set in the middle of Lincolnshire’s second town, historical Boston. Within walking distance to ‘The Stump’, or St Botolph’s Church, and situated just next to Central Park.
Registered for both Residential and Nursing, we also welcome those with Dementia and residents aged 18 plus and 65 plus. We also look after residents who need short term respite care, and day care, as well as those who need end-of-life care. With 40 beds, our comfortable home enjoys a happy and relaxed atmosphere, where residents' individuality and independence are respected at all times.
