Mum was referred on to Care South at Home as part of her D2A package following a hospital stay. She was previously independent and having people come to the house for personal care was difficult. The team were superb, supportive and encouraging mum to be as independent as possible. All so very lovely. My parents also live quite remotely which did present some challenges, but all the carers were accommodating. Thank you for this service, kindness & support.

In almost every respect our residence at The Meadows meets what we expected in a retirement environment. The bungalow quality is excellent and in many respects there is a near holiday atmosphere. Above all the care assistance by the ladies is superb. In some aspects of the grounds management require nagging to get a required result. Energy costs should be lower.
We're so pleased to hear that your home and the overall atmosphere have met your expectations, and that you rate the care support so highly - that will mean a great deal to the team.

I only use the care once a fortnight to help with housekeeping. It seems to work well. It would be nice to have the same person each time.

Care South provide a consistent service that meets my father's needs. They are reliable and deal with his changing needs in a friendly way. The carers who visit are always upbeat showing genuine interest in my father but remain professional at all times. My father looks forward to their visits and it has transformed both his, and my, morning routine allowing him to start his day the right way.

Meet the Team (1)
I embarked on my career in the care industry in 2006 and have since gained extensive experience across a range of care settings, including domiciliary care, residential care, supported living, and patient transport services.
Throughout my career, I have held several senior leadership roles, including Registered Manager, Operations Manager, and Regional Manager. I have worked closely with teams to ensure compliance with CQC standards, support HR functions, oversee training programmes, manage accounts, and contribute to marketing strategies. My operational and strategic expertise has enabled me to consistently deliver high-quality services while maintaining the highest standards of care.
In addition to these roles, I have served as Executive Manager and Business Development Manager, where I focused on driving growth and operational efficiency within the organisation. I also undertook an interim role as Regional Director, leading regional teams through periods of transition and ensuring continued success during these times.
In 2022, I transitioned into the role of Operations Support Manager at Care South at Home, where I played a pivotal part in driving operational improvements and supporting team development. By 2025, I was honoured to take on the position of Head of Care at Home and Care Manager for the Somerset and West Dorset service. In this capacity, I lead a dedicated team of professionals, always ensuring that the well-being of those we support is at the forefront of everything we do, and continuously striving to improve the quality of our services.
I am passionate about creating an environment where clients receive the care they deserve, and where teams feel supported and empowered to deliver exceptional care. With over 19 years of experience in the sector, I remain focused on maintaining high standards, enhancing service delivery, and leading with integrity and compassion, always ensuring compliance with CQC regulations and delivering care that meets or exceeds regulatory standards.
