Meet The Manager
Louise Bulcock is Manager at Wharfeside Care Home.
We are very proud of the five-star accommodation and care that Wharfeside offers.
Our accommodation standards and features are superior in so many ways but, most importantly, I believe we have built a team to deliver a very special and unique standard of person-centred care and support to anyone who chooses to make Wharfeside their home of choice.
We also know only too well how difficult and emotional the decisions are for everyone when considering a move to a new home. I have a number of years experience in residential care, having previously managed another care home in Otley.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

Wharfeside Manager

Our care home organises and arranges a variety of opportunities for our residents to enjoy daily activities in our home and in the local community. We work in partnership with the National Association for Providers of Activities for Older People (NAPA) and encourage activities that enhance our resident's lifestyle, health and wellbeing. Residents preferred activities, interests and abilities are discussed when they move in and an agreed plan ensures that these requests are fulfilled (wherever possible). Our resident's suggestions for activities also help shape the planning process. We organise supervised day trips to leisure facilities and places of interest as well as social events in the home, including themed restaurant evenings, arts and crafts, quizzes and regular entertainers. |
