Latoya Edwards

Home Manager

Latoya Edwards

As a dedicated Home Manager, I’m committed to creating a supportive and positive environment for both residents and colleagues, where compassion, respect, and dignity are at the heart of everything we do.

I have 11 years of nursing experience and four years of experience as a Deputy Manager within a care home, during which I developed strong leadership and operational skills. I hold a Level 7 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management and am driven by the motto, ‘Failure is not an option’, which helped me achieve my goal of becoming a Home Manager.

The most rewarding part of my role is seeing the smiles and gratitude of residents and their families. I also take great pride in seeing my team grow and develop, knowing that I’ve made a positive difference to the lives of those I’ve had the privilege of supporting.

Our experienced teams

Every day Care UK colleagues live our values of passionate, caring and teamwork to empower residents to enjoy fulfilling lives.

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.

Lifestyle

Our dedicated lifestyle teams work hard to organise a range of activities and events at our home. From gardening and baking to quizzes, music sessions and even live entertainment. Above all, we get to know your loved one to make sure our activities are tailored to suit their interests and hobbies.

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. 

Infection control

Every colleague receives training in infection prevention and control as part of their induction and updates regularly through online and in-person learning. Our dedicated IPC Champions in each home help embed safe working practices and raise awareness of hygiene standards.
