Meet The Manager
Annmarie Thomas is General Manager at Penrose Croft.
Annmarie was born and raised in West Cornwall and has been passionate about care from a young age. Inspired by her mother, a care assistant, she spent time in care homes as a child and knew from the age of six that she wanted to help others.
She began her career in care at 16 and studied Social Work at the University of Central Lancashire, graduating with a BA (Hons) in Welfare Studies. Annmarie has built extensive experience across domiciliary, nursing, and residential care, becoming a CQC Registered Manager at just 27. She also holds a Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management.
Annmarie is deeply committed to person-centred care for both residents and their families. Having experienced care from both a professional and personal perspective, she understands how important it is to create an environment where people feel safe, valued, and truly at home. She is passionate about helping people live fulfilling lives, full of purpose, dignity, and joy.
