Crystal Care

Louise has extensive experience in nursing and was a Ward Sister at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals in the Intensive Care Unit for 12 years. She also practised nursing in Germany as an officer in the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps. Since then she has had a successful career in nursing research, nurse education, leadership and management. After teaching at Edge Hill University for 20 years Louise was seconded to the Nursing and Midwifery Council as an inspector of nursing programmes of UK Universities. Since then she has addressed international nursing conferences in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Her research into clinical supervision for nurses led to the award of a doctorate by Manchester University in 2007. Louise established Kare Plus Wirral in 2013 and although she leads the company she occasionally finds time to deliver nursing and pastoral care face to face. She tells us that her mantra for success is probably “whatever the problem is – the solution is chocolate”.

Louise opened Crystal Care in November 2023. Read less

I’m Sandra, a care registered Manager here at Crystal Care.

I started with Crystal Care as a new Registered manager in 2021 and have since completed my level 5 in Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care. I have worked in health and social care for the last 30 years commencing first as a carer and then working my way up through the ranks undertaking a variety of roles including Care Coordinator and Deputy Manager.

I work both within the office environment managing and leading the Home care service as well as being out in the field as a "hands-on " manager. I take person-centred care seriously and ensure we can provide a tailored individualised plan of care for each and every one of our clients.

In my spare time, I enjoy keeping fit, walking my dog, supporting Manchester United FC and spending time with my husband and family. Read less
