Meet The Manager
Babu Rangarajan is Manager at Iris Court Care Home.
My vision is to build on the foundations that have been handed over to me and create a wonderful and person centred care facility to aid the lives of all of our residents. We will not only provide the highest levels of care in a premium environment, but will also deliver an individual plan for every resident to ensure that their lives are truly enriched.
I have worked in the care sector for over 15 years now, beginning as carer. I loved the role so much that i have worked in many different positions achieving a Level 5 NVQ in leadership and management to then regional director within the same company i had also won the prestigious award of care home manager until today where i find myself at the realm of this beautiful new home.
