Meet The Manager
Jess Geall is Service Manager at The Martlets.
I manage a dedicated team of 110 who support me in running a service that aims to deliver the type of care that we would want for our own loved ones. My deputy, clinical lead, team leaders, registered nurses, domestics, cooks and maintenance operatives ensure that we have considered all angles of making The Martlets as much of a home as possible.
The Martlets Care Home is situated in the West Sussex coastal town of East Preston, close to all its shops and amenities. As well as developing friendships in the home we encourage residents to establish and maintain close links with their relatives, friends and the local community.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
