Meet The Manager

I have 13 years’ experience in the care sector and have recently been appointed manager here at Broomy Hill. I’m dedicated to supporting the team and ensuring that residents have a safe, happy and fulfilled life here with us.
Nestled in Hereford, Broomy Hill Nursing Home stands as a fully accessible residence spread across two floors, graced with an inner courtyard that bathes its spaces in natural light.
Boasting a team of dedicated registered nurses and carers, Broomy Hill specialises in an array of care types, including palliative care, nursing care, daycare services, dementia care, residential care, and pre-bookable respite care.
With a profound commitment to personalised care, the team at Broomy Hill ensures that each resident receives individualised attention tailored to their specific needs and preferences. The overarching ethos of the home revolves around fostering a homely environment that prioritises the dignity, privacy, and overall well-being of all residents.
