Meet The Manager
Carol Preston is Manager at Heath Lodge Care Home.
I have worked in Health and Social Care for nearly 42 years and started my career as a Health Care Assistant at a busy general hospital, and have worked my way up the career ladder.
I have held a number of Operational and Regional roles over the last 20 years and decided 10 years ago to go back to my roots and go back to being a Registered Homes Manager.
I like to be able to make a difference to the lives of those we care for, and feel I am best placed to make this difference as a General Manager of a care home.
I am passionate about Dementia Care and want those living with a Dementia to live fulfilled and happy lives.
I have also cared for someone close to me who was living with a Dementia, so understand how difficult it can be for families when they have to consider full time care for someone they love.
I am proud to have been short listed as a Finalist for the Great British Care Awards for the Best Registered Care Home Manager award 2022.
