Meet The Manager
Katie Romero-Bennett is Manager at Miller House Care Home.
I began my role at Shawside in September 2025 and have thoroughly enjoyed my journey so far. Since starting, I have continued to develop and strengthen my skills and knowledge within the role.
I am deeply committed to delivering high-quality care and building strong relationships with residents and their families. I also greatly value the staff I work with and believe I have developed a positive, supportive, and effective working relationship with my team.
