Meet The Manager
Lou Cotton is Registered Manager at Visiting Angels North Shropshire (Live-in Care).
I am Lou Cotton and I am thrilled to be joining the VANS team. I am married to my husband Chris and I am Mum of 3 beautiful boys. I am naturally an outgoing chatty person with a good sense of humour, I do like a good giggle.
My work in the care sector has been varied. I have been a CQC registered manager in a busy Shared Lives Service across the Midlands region and I have also ran a domiciliary care service in Telford more recently. I have a high level of energy and an immense drive to make a real difference in people’s lives be it service users, their families and members of the team. I want to help people live the best life possible and if I can help people be the best versions of themselves along the way too I know I have done a great job.
Finding the right support for yourself or a loved one is a huge decision and takes lots of research and consideration – and rightly so! In fact, it’s one of the most important decisions that is ever made. Matching services with the personal touch to provide dedicated, tailored support that we, as a team, can deliver is our passion.
