Meet The Manager
Sally-Ann Radwell is Manager at Bosworth Care Home.
Sally-Ann has worked at Bosworth for over 22 years, helping the team to grow and to develop the services we offer our clients.
At Bosworth we recognise the enormity of the decision to move into a Care Home, and the unsettling anxiety that big changes like this can bring. We’ll be there to help guide you through the process, providing all the information and support to you, your friends and family to help you decide whether Bosworth is right for you.
We offer care and accommodation for elderly clients who may be struggling at home without support, who may have developed care needs that their family can no longer cover or who may simply be tired of living alone and would prefer to live with the company and reassurance of others.
All prospective clients will receive a visit from a senior member of the team at Bosworth to discuss any concerns, queries and questions you may have. You can use this opportunity to find out more about us, our team and to help you decide whether you’d like to join us. If you decide you’d like to move in with us, we’ll put together a Person-Centred Care Plan just for you, to ensure life at Bosworth runs the way you’d like and any care needs are fully met.
