Meet The Manager
Sue Smith is The Registered Manager at Cherry Wood Grange Care Home.
Our kind and caring home manager Sue has worked in health and social care for almost 30 years and has a wealth of experience in strategic and operational roles. Sue spent much of her career at Runwood Homes, where, as their Regional Care Director, she commissioned and established new homes for the care group.
A natural leader, Sue enjoys leading and supporting her team and strives for excellence in delivering compassionate care.
During her career, Sue has been Regional Care Director for Runwood as well as ran three large care homes for older people, consistently achieving improved Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings.
Speaking about her role at Cherry Wood Grange, Sue said: “I’m proud to lead our wonderful, skilled and caring team. Our focus is on providing consistent, high-quality, care tailored to individual needs. Nothing makes me happier than seeing our resident’s enjoying life with us and the reassurance that this gives our families.”
When it comes to delivering exceptional care with love and a deep sense of compassion, the amazing people who form our Cherry Wood Grange team, in Chelmsford, are everything.
Here at Cherry Wood Grange Care Home, we will care for your precious loved one with the same tenderness and kindness shown to our own family members.
Through a reassuring touch of the hand or a light embrace, we provide comfort and a sense of safety day and night, caring for our cherished residents whilst giving gentle encouragement to build confidence and independence wherever possible.
To us, these things are second nature, assisted by our detailed knowledge of each person we care for and born by an intense desire to help, as well as strong caring values.
The depth of our knowledge goes way beyond our training and awareness of each person’s medical and physical needs. Whilst these are crucial elements to ensure we are able to provide good care, it is our detailed understanding of who each special individual is now, who they were, and what hopes and dreams they have for their future that enables us to provide exceptional care.
