Meet The Manager
Jag Singh is Home Manager at Blossomfield Grange.
I have thirteen years of experience in the care industry, and I love being a part of the Care UK team as I share the organisation’s values and the passion to deliver outstanding, person-centred care to all residents.
Working as a General Manager at Blossomfield Grange, I always ensure that the teams in different areas of the home work collaboratively and efficiently together, and that would involve seamless communication between us and residents or family members. My favourite part of the day is my daily walk rounds, where I get the chance to see residents, family members, and observe colleagues as they carry out their day-to-day activities. It’s a great opportunity to check in with my colleagues and ask how they are.
Outside of work, I enjoy watching football, cricket, and I go to my local gym to keep myself fit.
Blossomfield Grange provides luxury life-enabling residential and dementia care for older people in the West Midlands. The home is set in beautiful, wheelchair-friendly landscaped grounds, designed for a gentle stroll or relaxing walks.
The passionate, dedicated team ensure that all residents’ individual needs and requirements are met; whether that is arranging for a favourite meal to be created by the chef or for residents to enjoy pursuing beloved hobbies or learning new skills. They also hold regular dementia support groups for residents, friends and family members.
The Solihull care home is easily accessible from Birmingham Airport and the M42, M6 and M40, making it a convenient location for visiting family and friends.

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. |
