Meet The Manager
Rebecca Blackburn is Manager at The Craven Nursing Home.
Hi my name is Rebecca, I joined Craven Nursing Home in January 2022 following the previous long term manager retiring.
I am a qualified nurse and have successfully run nursing homes for a number of years, having achieved an “Outstanding” rating with the Care Quality Commission.
I am so proud to have joined Craven Nursing Home. The staff, residents and relatives have been so welcoming. Craven is a lovely home and plays an important role in the local community. I am proud to be part of such a warm, welcoming, and caring team
My passion is providing outstanding care and support to all our residents, their loved ones and the staff team. I look forward to helping Craven go from strength to strength and continue to deliver high standards of king dignified and compassionate care and providing excellent support for our hardworking staff team.
