Anne Mary Gaffney is General Manager at Blossomfield Grange.
My background is in nursing - I started out working in the community and became a District Nurse. Later on, I moved into the private sector and worked in care homes, and I’m an experienced Home Manager.
I was keen to join Care UK because it has clear and strong values, and a superb reputation for delivering high quality care. I’m passionate about ensuring every resident receives care that enables them to live a fulfilling life.
Quality is a huge focus for me, so myself and the fantastic team here at Blossomfield Grange will continue to work to enhance the quality of everything we do so that we’re recognised as the care home of choice in Solihull and the West Midlands.
We provide luxury life-enabling care for older adults in West Midlands. Our dedicated team of skilled professionals offer high quality residential, dementia and respite care to residents. We also offer compassionate end of life care.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.
What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe | ||
---|---|---|
Visitors must be double vaccinated, unless they are medically exempt, and return a negative test. Residents may leave care homes, that are free of any Covid outbreak, to visit or stay overnight with family or a friend, or go on walks in places such as parks, public gardens and beaches without the need to isolate on their return. A negative test result will only be required on return if there has been close contact with a suspected or confirmed case of Covid-19. We are also offering visits in our Covid-safe visiting suites as well as window and drive-up visits for all homes, including those with Covid outbreaks, where we have the support of local public health teams. Nominated essential care givers can offer residents additional support during visits. Essential care givers can continue to visit when a home is in outbreak. |

![]() Anne Mary GaffneyGeneral ManagerMy background is in nursing - I started out working in the community and became a District Nurse. Later on, I moved into the private sector and worked in care homes, and I’m an experienced Home Manager. ![]() Mussarat AshrafDeputy ManagerSince coming here in 2006 I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of roles starting as a Care Assistant and progressed to Deputy Manager. Whilst here I qualified as a nurse and I knew in my heart that this is where I belonged as I felt part of a family here at Blossomfield Grange. Working here gives me the opportunity to work alongside such caring and professional colleagues and such amazing residents. I am proud to be a part of such a prestigious organisation and I take pride in ensuring the residents receive quality care every day. Our mission to champion the quality of Life for all residents remains a central point in my heart. ![]() Jo HopkinsDirector of Community RelationsMy role within Blossomfield Grange is to help and support families who are looking into care and a new home for their loved ones. This can be an upsetting time for all involved and may be a whole world they may never have explored before, so it is absolutely essential that we listen and capture the needs and individuality of the new potential resident, whilst also offering the family reassurance and trust. The end result seeing their loved one move in, settle and be happy and the positive impact this has on the whole family is extremely rewarding. It's a real privilege to be a part of the team at Blossomfield Grange and getting to know all the wonderful residents. ![]() Samantha BirksActivities Lead CoordinatorI started work in another one of our communities, Metchley Manor, in various roles. In 2014 I moved here as Activities Lead Coordinator. I am a qualified florist with a love of gardening and flowers and have taken a keen interest in the beautiful gardens we enjoy here at Blossomfield Grange, starting a hugely popular gardening club. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know the residents, their individual likes and dislikes, as well as the interesting lives many of them have led. ![]() Carole HobbsBusiness Office CoordinatorI’ve worked in office administration in different care homes for many years. I enjoy doing admin work in a care setting. There’s always a lot to do, so it’s important to have good time management skills, the ability to juggle different tasks, to remain calm under pressure, and to have a good attention to detail. ![]() Kirsty BirdReminiscence CoordinatorI have worked here since 2014 as a Senior Care Assistant in the Reminiscence neighbourhood.
