Meet The Manager
Lee Morgan is Home Manager at Apple Trees Care & Reablement Centre.
Lee has worked in the care sector since 2009, during this time he progressed from care assistant to senior care, to deputy roles and in 2020 started to work in home management.
During this time working in the health care sector, I bring experience to the home, I like to build strong working relations with the team and stakeholders. I have managed large and small service in residential settings, and I promote an open-door policy for staff, residents, and families.
The quality of care that all residents receive is my passion, and I aim to ensure that all the residents in my care receive the best and most person-centred care possible.
We have a fantastic and caring staff at Apple Trees, and we would love to welcome you to our home.
Situated in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham is Apple Trees Care and Reablement Centre, offering first class and compassionate residential, intermediate, dementia and respite care to 64 residents in homely and comfortable surroundings.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|

Activities: Whether it’s wet or dry outside, we feel that activities are essential in providing the best caring environment to live in. Hobbies don’t simply stop when living with us at Apple Trees Care and Reablement Centre. We have a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who works closely with our residents to create a programme of fulfilling activities and events, tailored around each resident’s requests, hobbies and interests. The programme of events and activities provide a source of fun and laughter, to help each resident live their life to the full and make new friendships. We are also fortunate to have the support of many volunteers of all ages from the local community, strengthening our links to this thriving town. Here is a sample of activities on offer:
With so many well-being activities for body and mind on offer, we also recognise that everyone needs some personal space for relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection. The cosy lounges offer an opportunity for some quiet time or to host family and friends. And that’s not all: We’ve had silent discos, hoe downs, Chinese banquets, Oscar parties and so much more. Many of the activities feature Reminiscence Therapy to aid those living with Dementia to remember events, people and places using sight, touch, taste, smell and sound. Events: As we are on the outskirts of a thriving town - within a vibrant community, there's never a dull moment. We run regular activities for all to join in:
