Meet The Manager
Caroline Carter is General Manager at Rush Hill Mews.
I’ve worked in the care sector for nearly 30 years and am passionate about dementia care and end of life care, in particular, I’m currently studying for a Masters degree in dementia care studies.
In this role it’s important to lead by example and to keep a calm head. Knowledge and experience are important, I started out as a carer and worked my way up, so I know the challenges faced by my team.
Care UK’s ethos of care, which puts residents at the heart of everything, echoes my own values. The organisation also offers superb training and development opportunities so that colleagues can learn and progress their careers.
I am focused on continuous improvement and have worked on a number of initiatives aimed at enhancing quality of life for people with dementia, including using technology to promote health and wellbeing.
Rush Hill Mews is a luxury care home set in the Somerset countryside, a short distance from the historic city centre of Bath. The dedicated team offer personalised residential, nursing and dementia care on a short-term or permanent basis, in wonderful surroundings.
Residents can enjoy a range of facilities in this vibrant, modern home, including stylish lounges, a welcoming café and a hair salon, as well as a stunning collection of en-suite bedrooms. Outside in the garden area there are plenty of spaces to relax with friends and family.
As well as offering high-quality care to people in the immediate area around Bath, the home is also easily accessible from neighbouring areas such as Bradford-on-Avon, Corsham, Melksham, Warmley and Wick.
