Meet The Manager
Andrea Bacova is Responsible Individual and Home Manager at Glais House Care Ltd.
I have completed NVQ Level 4 in Health & Social Care and Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management. In addition, I have worked for many years with younger adults with Learning Disabilities who had other varied conditions from Mental Health, Autism, Dementia and other conditions which represented itself in challenging behaviours and communication difficulties.
Glais House Nursing Home is set in its own wooded grounds in the peaceful village of Glais, near Swansea. A lot of individuals living at the home previously lived in surrounding areas, such as Clydach, Morriston, Pontardawe and other villages close to Glais. On many occasions we find that they know each other or know each other’s families.
The home offers wheelchair access and has lifts to all floors, together with a safe and friendly environment for all individuals. The home is light and airy, decorated with bright colours to help to create warm and family feel for those who live here.
