Anne Mirasol is Care Home Manager at Ruddington Manor Care Home.
I have been a registered nurse since 2008. I began my career in a hospital setting, but when I transitioned into working in a care home, I quickly realised that my true passion lies in elderly care.
I joined New Care in 2019 as a Deputy Home Manager. In 2021, I moved on to take up a Home Manager position and later became a Regional Manager. While these roles were valuable, I knew that I wanted to return to New Care, now Lovett, as the company’s values align closely with my own. What I admire most is the genuine care shown not only to residents, but also to staff—ensuring that everyone feels supported and valued.
I feel privileged to be part of the wonderful team at Ruddington Manor. Together, we share the same commitment: to provide the highest standard of care and enhance the quality of life for our residents.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have a son, Marco, and a daughter, Olivia, who both keep me happily busy.
A bright, community-first care home in Nottingham
Ruddington Manor Care Home, nestled in the heart of the historic Nottinghamshire village of Ruddington, offers more than expert care. It is a lively, welcoming community where everyday life is celebrated and where connections to village life run deep. Close to the River Trent and Nottingham's vibrant city center, our home blends modern comfort with strong community roots, creating a place where families feel instantly at ease and residents remain part of the local life they know.
Inside, there's a rhythm of life that feels both uplifting and homely. You can hear conversation, laughter, and music as you walk through the home, with the scent of fresh baking drifting from the kitchen. The atmosphere is cheerful and outward-looking - there are always things going on. From vibrant themed celebrations and live music to village hall events and visits from local nursery children, this is never a quiet or isolated home, but a place alive with activity and connection. Gardens bloom through the seasons, and quiet corners offer calm when needed, but energy and community spirit define daily life here.
At the heart of it all is Anne, our home manager, whose visible, hands-on leadership sets the tone of warmth, professionalism, and care. Highly regarded by staff, residents, and families alike, Anne's long-standing commitment to Ruddington Manor and her genuine, approachable presence give everyone confidence. Her leadership is what makes the home feel both exceptionally well-run and deeply personal.
As part of the Lovett family, we believe in more for our elders; more dignity, more choice, and more life to live. We would love to welcome you. Our door is always open.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
At New Care Homes we have dedicated activity staff who devise and deliver our activities and well-being programme. We work with our whole staff team so that everyone can participate in supporting our residents to have fun and enjoy life. We offer a range of activities that are based on our resident’s feedback. We have a calendar of events planned throughout the whole year. We have established some groups in all of our homes, which link to residents, own hobbies and interests. This currently includes a range of subjects from gardening clubs to bridge clubs. We are always keen to start up new groups, to make sure we are supporting all of our residents to have a full and enjoyable life. This can either be re-engaging with a previous hobby or interest, or even learning something quite new. The groups provide opportunities for residents, relatives and other to get together to enjoy a shared passion and have a good time together. In order to develop this aspect of the service, we have also invested in ‘OOMPH!’ well-being. Oomph! provides training to our entire staff team to deliver a 360 degree approach to wellbeing, demonstrating a positive impact at all times. The training and support packages enable our staff to deliver everyday mental stimulation, regular, fun physical activity and new experiences & connections for our residents. We have enabled all the members of our staff team to provide a set of complementary services to enhance the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of our residents. In addition to our approach to activities, we also offer trips that are tailored to people’s individual needs. This includes a variety of venues including garden centres, museums, shopping malls, the seaside and distilleries etc. We have a Wellbeing team who offer a wellbeing programme 7 days a week. We also are partnered with OOMPH who support our wider team. Sample programme to follow. |
