Meet The Manager
Caroline Morse is Head of Care at Eastcote Park Care Home.
As Head of Care at Eastcote Park, I oversee and lead the care teams to ensure we deliver quality care to our wonderful residents. I enjoy spending time with our residents and families, working closely to ensure that we are meeting and exceeding individual needs in a person centred way.
I started my career in the care sector at the age of 15 working as a laundry assistant in a residential care home. Following my GCSE’s, I then completed a GNVQ in Health and Social Care. I progressed to become a carer in residential care and then took the decision move to the NHS, predominately mental health services. I stayed with the NHS for 14 years before making the decision to move back to the private care sector as a registered manager.
I have 3 children so my spare time is mainly spent being a glorified taxi service, chef and housekeeper! However I do also enjoy going to the cinema, shopping and walking my dog.
