Manager at Downshaw Lodge
I have worked in the care sector since 2005, at first as a care assistant. I studied hard and achieved NVQ level one to five before attending university and completing an adaptation to nursing qualification. I became a care home manager in 2010 and have been at Downshaw Lodge since mid-2016.
I strive to be a kind, understanding, caring and supportive manager, maintaining and developing good working relationships with my colleagues. I support residents to the best of my ability, enabling them to enjoy the highest-possible quality of life.
Downshaw Lodge is in a residential area, close to the bustling market town of Ashton-under-Lyne, in the borough of Tameside, Greater Manchester.
Ashton-under-Lyne is on the River Tame in the foothills of the Pennines, close to the picturesque Peak District National Park, yet is just six miles east of Manchester city centre and five miles south of Oldham. The town is home to one of the UK’s largest and most popular markets.
Downshaw Lodge is well served by road and rail, with the M60 and Ashton-under-Lyne railway station close by. Manchester Metrolink trams and regular buses link Ashton with Manchester city centre. Manchester Airport is 14 miles to the south west.
Get DirectionsMy husband moved into Downshaw Lodge Care Home December 2015. The staff at Downshaw Lodge are a well lead cohesive team resulting in the residents receiving a caring professional service. There is always a carer in the lounge areas and I have witnessed their skill and the kindly way they have defused many a risky situation. They have always included and supported me by their good communication and thoughtfulness. I am happy with the care and kindness at this home.
