Meet The Manager

am delighted to be appointed as the new Care Home Manager at Foxhunters, Abergavenny.
I started my career as a care assistant in 2005 working my way up to home manager. I eventually moved in to a regional role supporting homes all over the UK.
I am extremely excited to be able to support the wonderful team here at Foxhunters as well as ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional care to the ladies and gentlemen who live here.
With fabulous views over The Blorenge, this beautiful purpose built care home offers everything you could wish for and is close to pretty market towns surrounded by mountains and hills. A place anyone would be proud to call home!
