Meet The Manager
Estelle Adriaans is General Manager at Ridley Manor.
My early career started out in education, but my path stumbled into care and I found my true vocation, working my way up to become a care home manager at another home before joining Ridley Manor.
I have completed a post-graduate diploma in dementia, and currently I am completing my Master’s degree in dementia care too.
To be successful and good as a General Manager, I believe that you should be empathetic, caring, supportive and have the passion to be able to look after all the changing needs of the residents entrusted into your care. By the same token you need to be able to support, encourage and motivate your team to be able to achieve their career goals and be the best version of themselves.
My biggest career highlight has been meeting the great Nelson Mandela and being able to spend a few moments in his company.
Ridley Manor is a luxury care home in the rural village of Lane End, surrounded by the Buckinghamshire countryside. The team specialises in high-quality dementia, nursing and residential care for older people on a respite or permanent basis.
This state-of-the-art care home features large, spacious en-suite rooms for all residents, with special touches that help to set them apart from other care homes. The excellent range of luxury facilities includes a hair and beauty salon, a welcoming café, a cinema room and beautifully landscaped sensory gardens.
The dedicated lifestyle team gets to know each resident to provide a tailored activities programme, including group and one-to-one activities, as well as outings to local areas of interest.
