Nikki Kelly

Home Manager

Nikki Kelly

Having qualified as a registered nurse in 2000, I bring over 17 years’ experience to my role with 10 years’ experience in orthopaedics nursing, working predominantly with elderly patients.

This wealth of nursing experience has equipped me with the appropriate skills for my role and daily life at Mount Pleasant, where I work hard to ensure that those in my care lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive. Personal preferences from waking times to food choices, hobbies and interests are incorporated to any routine to ensure a home from home feeling from day one.

I am passionate about delivering great care and firmly believe in the importance of maintaining strong relationships with residents, their relatives and friends. Understanding the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of a care home and making Mount Pleasant a home for our residents to live well in. I love nothing more than spending time with our residents and getting to know them better.

I look forward to meeting those that wish to find out more about our warm, welcoming community. I am happy to show you around our home.

Carers

Our hardworking teams always keep individuals and their families at the heart of the care they provide. We work with you to shape the care your loved one receives, the food they’re served, the activities and experiences they want to do – even the ways they prefer to keep in touch with their friends and family. 

Nurses

The nurses at Care UK are highly skilled and receive sector-leading training, which enables them to keep developing expertise in different clinical fields from dementia to palliative care.

Home support roles

From catering to maintenance, housekeeping to administration, our home support teams play a crucial part in ensuring individuals enjoy an exceptional and safe service every day.

All our teams get to know each person they care for to ensure they provide a service that’s designed around their unique needs and tastes.
