Meet The Manager
Alice O'Hare is Care Home Manager at Tanglewood Care Home.
I am excited to be starting my journey with Tanglewood to continue to progress and develop in a career that I love. Personal experiences led me to switch from retail management to pursuing a career in care. I started my journey as a support worker in 2016. My main goal was to repay the care and kindness of the people involved in my own families care and rehabilitation. I have a wealth of knowledge from working in various different settings, in varied roles with different client groups. I have been lucky to have worked with fabulous managers who have helped me develop, grow and achieve my ambitions so far. I am committed and passionate about providing a safe, welcoming and happy home for the people that live, visit and work at the service. Prioritizing the physical, emotional and social needs of our residents and staff.
Tanglewood care home is located on Louth Road in Horncastle. The convenient location of Tanglewood also allows easy access to the intriguing shops of Horncastle, which have earned the town the unofficial title of ‘antiques centre of the world’.
The 54-bed care home offers comfortable lounge / dining areas, sunlounges and ensuite facilities. Within the beautiful, landscaped gardens Tanglewood Care Home also provides 4 self-contained bungalows. The bungalows offer residents the chance to have an independent style of living whilst still receiving the benefits of a fully serviced care home on their doorstep.
