Trusted to care

A closely-knit team of managers, carers, nurses and support colleagues – and each of us is dedicated to your loved one’s care, health and wellbeing.

I joined Care UK in 2004 and happily moved to the position of Home Manager at Echelforde at the start of 2022.

At our comfortable care home we love seeing our residents enjoying activities, crafts and, when the weather allows, spending time in our sunny gardens. There is nothing better than helping residents live full, happy, lives.

Echelforde is a beautiful home and we have a wonderful team looking after lovely residents. I look forward to seeing the home continue to succeed.
