Shirley Summerbell

Home Manager

Shirley Summerbell

I started my career as a Peripatetic Home Manager, working across the UK, making sure care homes met regulators standards.

I joined Care UK in 2016 because I felt it would be a supportive and rewarding company to a be a part of and I was correct.

I’ve seen the high standard of care for residents and great teams. Everyone is very committed to ensuring that every resident is happy and cared for. There’s always a lot to do in my role, but by far my most favourite part of the day is when I walk around the home, checking everything is okay, and chatting to residents, relatives and my team.

I enjoy getting to know the residents and welcoming new people into the home.

Deputy Manager

I’m a qualified nurse with over 30 years of experience in care. I have worked as a Nurse, Senior Nurse, Charge Nurse and Deputy Manager.

Before joining Brook Court, I worked at another Care UK care home, Mercia Grange, and supported the Home Manager to commission the home and achieve an ‘Outstanding’ rating from the CQC. That was the biggest highlight of my career!

As a Deputy Manager, it’s important to be kind, caring and compassionate. I love seeing the residents smile, and seeing their health improve really makes me proud in my role. The most important part of my job is making them happy.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family.

Customer Relations Manager

Before joining the team here, I was a specialist business manager for Lloyds, so I have plenty of experience helping people make major decisions. I wanted to work for Care UK because it has an excellent reputation. Everything about Brook Court and the team felt right and I was particularly keen to try a new role.

As with most public-facing roles, it helps to be calm, focused and adaptable. It is important to be knowledgeable too so that people feel reassured. This is such a fantastic home which makes showcasing it to potential residents and their families so rewarding.

I would say my favourite part of the day is first thing. I’m generally in early and like to organise and plan my day so I know what needs to be done and achieved.

Outside of work I enjoy family activities including days out at some of the big national parks, and football.

Lifestyle Lead

The thing I enjoy most about providing activity based care at Brook Court care home is putting a smile on the faces of residents who live here. It is so important to me to make a difference and make their day a happy one, by delivering a varied programme of activities. 

I am a caring person, with a jolly personality. I think it helps to be flexible in this role too and be able to adapt activities to individual residents, depending on their needs and abilities.

I get other members of the team involved where possible too, which makes it a fun experience and creates a wonderful atmosphere in the home.
