Meet The Manager
Jennifer Masbate is Manager at Burrswood Care Home.
"Having more than a decade of experience as a Registered Nurse across various healthcare settings, I have gained knowledge, skills, and other attributes to help me hone my leadership skills.
I started my career in the UK after migrating from the Philippines at the onset of the pandemic. During this unprecedented
time, I strived to deliver compassionate care to all of our residents, even extending it to their relatives and, especially, to my colleagues, who gave love and support to everyone in need.
I have worked my way up in this industry, starting from a Staff Nurse, to a Unit Manager, Clinical Lead, Deputy Manager, and finally a Care Home Manager. I am a transformative leader who is not afraid of hands-on and direct care and work with my colleagues to ensure that our residents at Burrswood Care Home will have the best quality of life possible.”
Welcome to Burrswood House Care Home in Bury. Our vibrant Home prides itself on being a warm and friendly community, providing person-centred care for Residents. Burrswood is made up of four Houses with each one offering a different type of dementia or nursing care.
Situated in Walmersley on the outskirts of the town centre, our Home is nearby to shops, cafés and local amenities, so it’s easy for our Residents to maintain their social networks and continue with their favourite pastimes. Our compassionate and dedicated team are on hand to provide as little, or as much, support as Residents need to help them stay active and enjoy themselves.
