Meet The Manager
Corrina Hill is Acting Manager at Wellcroft.
Over the past five years, she has progressed her career from Care Assistant to Senior, then Deputy Manager at Wellcroft, and in January 2026 stepped into the role of Interim Manager. Corrina is passionate about her work, having supported family members with dementia and recognises the privilege of caring for people in their later years. She is deeply committed to residents’ wellbeing, striving to ensure they experience a great day, every day.
Wellcroft is one of our dementia-friendly care homes located in Gatley, Stockport. The 42-bed home has a unique community that has been brought to life through its vibrant facilities. Amongst the fun features is a French-style bistro, the Wellcroft Arms pub, a library area and a retro shop. Every part of Wellcroft is themed, down to the laundry room, so residents feel at home.
To help create a strong sense of community, Wellcroft offers playdates with local mums and their children, enabling the residents to forget their troubles and be present.
Our dedicated team of ALFs (Activity and Lifestyle Facilitators) make sure residents always have something to look forward to. From days out to themed activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
