Meet The Manager
Sam Henderson is Care Home Manager at Mayflower Court care home.
Starting his career as a Chef Sam worked across numerous hotels, eventually moving into a Chef role within a care home setting. Enjoying the experience of interacting and engaging with the home’s residents on a regular basis, Sam decided that his passion for care and supporting people would become the new focus in his career.
Sam began his journey in residential care supporting adults with mental health conditions and learning disabilities. Taking skills, he learned from this environment, Sam moved into a supporting role with elderly residents and those with dementia. He eventually became the Home Manager at another Anchor care home, Augusta Court before moving to Mayflower Court.

Our bright and spacious bedrooms have been designed to a very high standard and decorated to provide luxurious personal space where residents feel safe and happy. At Mayflower Court the fixtures and fittings in each room can be adjusted to residents’ individual needs, and all residents, whatever their ability, enjoy the privacy of modern en-suite bathrooms large enough to enable assistance from two carers, should it be required. Each bedroom has its own flat screen TV, Freeview, comfortable seating, and lots of storage, including lockable drawers. At an extra charge, residents have the option to purchase their own mini fridge. We encourage residents to personalise their room with ornaments and photos to reflect their individual style and personality and to make it home from home. The maintenance team will assist with this. Making the most of the beautiful gardens, large windows and patio doors that lead onto either secure balconies or ground floor patios, enable our residents to enjoy the landscaped grounds of Mayflower Court from the bedrooms. |
