Meet The Manager
Emese Pomezanski is Manager at David Gresham House.
Emese's first interaction with the care industry came from coaching mobility sessions to elderly residents at a local nursing home. She later became the activities coordinator for the home, a position which she held for 7 years, during which time she gained invaluable knowledge and experience about caring for the elderly in a care home environment.
In 2018, Emese relocated to a small, dementia specialist care home and within 9 months, she completed the Level 5 Leadership & Management Diploma in Adult Health and Social Care and became the CQC Registered Care Home Manager for Wolfe House Care Home in Oxted, Surrey.
After completing a Level six Leadership & Management module with the University of Surrey, Emese joined the Society in 2024, and her experience and leadership skills, combined with her energy and passion for learning and developing, help ensure the David Gresham community enjoy a vibrant and forward-thinking environment to live and work in.
David Gresham House provides residential accommodation for twenty-nine residents. Each spacious room is designed to offer residents their own personal space and all the rooms benefit from their own en-suite wet room with personal showering facilities.
There are two lounges, a library, a dining room and a pleasant conservatory where residents enjoy socialising and entertaining on a daily basis.
The home also has five independent living flats. Four are suitable for a couple and comprise a bedroom, sitting room, kitchenette and shower room/toilet. The fifth, for single occupancy, has a bedroom, sitting room, kitchenette and shower room/toilet.They are ideal for more active elderly people who are able to look after themselves but also want additional security and companionship.
