Meet The Manager
Abigail Kershaw is Manager at Croston Park Nursing Home.
Abigail Kershaw joins us as the new registered manager at Croston Park, bringing with her an impressive eight years of experience as a registered nurse. Her extensive career, primarily focused on acute medicine within hospital settings, showcases her capabilities in managing wards and her specialisation as a respiratory nurse. Abigail's dedication to healthcare was further highlighted during the pandemic when she volunteered in a COVID ward, demonstrating her commitment to patient care in the most challenging circumstances. Additionally, she has valuable experience in residential care for the elderly, underscoring her comprehensive understanding of the needs of our residents.
Leading the fantastic team, Abigail is committed to enhancing the lives of everyone at Croston Park, making her leadership not just a role, but a testament to her passion and dedication. We are lucky to have her joining us!
Built in 1663, Croston Park is a beautiful Grade II listed country mansion, full of character that hits you the moment you pass through the listed ruins of its grand archway. Sat in unspoilt conservation land, it enjoys more than two acres of garden and woodland, adjacent to the River Yarrow, in the friendly and ancient village of Croston – midway between Preston, Southport, Wigan and Chorley.
Formerly the private residence of the nearby Church rector, the building’s purpose nowadays is to house a centre of excellence that delivers unrivalled levels of care in the area for elderly people.
