Legh House
Claire - Registered Manager
"I have been employed at Legh House since 2002 and started off with a cleaning post and thought I would actually like to care for the residents too. I then did the relevant training and became a care assistant, and worked myself up to Management level. I hold NVQ level 2 and 3 in Health and Social Care and level 5 in Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and young people's services (Adults' Residential Management)
My role is to maintain the smooth day to day running of our Care Home. I am responsible to ensure that our dedicated well-trained staff meet the individual needs of our residents. I am also responsible for creating a safe and happy environment along with the support of my Deputy Manager and Senior Care Staff team."

MacPherson House
Trudie -House Manager
"I started at MacPherson House in 2020 as Deputy Manager. I enjoyed my role and supported the manager in our daily running of the house. When she retired I had the opportunity to apply for the House Manager position and I was successful. I really like the ethos of Abbeyfield and the residents have accepted me into their family home. Originally my career was in catering and I worked in large care homes. This place was exactly what I was looking for when I realised that I wanted to change my career. We have a good team of staff and we all enjoy supporting our residents with their daily lives."
