Kapaya Care St Helens Merseyside

My name is Amy Woodhouse, and I am the Care Manager at Kapaya Care, covering St Helens and the wider Merseyside region. I joined the team in early 2022, bringing with me over a decade of experience in health and social care.

My role is to oversee the smooth and safe running of our care services, ensuring that we meet all regulatory and compliance standards set by the CQC. Most importantly, I am responsible for ensuring that the care we provide is person-centred, responsive, and genuinely makes a difference to the lives of our clients.

Throughout my career, I have worked in both domiciliary care and residential settings, supporting individuals with a wide range of needs, including dementia, physical disabilities, and complex health conditions.

I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care, and I am passionate about mentoring and empowering my team to always deliver the highest standard of care.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading historical fiction, and exploring the countryside on long walks.

My name is Alex Henry, and I am the Care Coordinator for Kapaya Care. I joined the agency in 2023 and have built a strong understanding of care planning, rota management, and supporting both clients and carers to ensure a seamless delivery of care.

In my role, I am responsible for matching the right carer to each client, creating efficient schedules, and maintaining regular communication to make sure every care plan is carried out exactly as intended.

I started my career as a care assistant and later moved into coordination after discovering a passion for organising services and supporting the wider team. I believe that strong communication and planning are the backbone of quality care.

I am currently working towards my Level 3 in Health and Social Care and take pride in being a reliable point of contact for families, staff, and professionals alike.

In my spare time, I enjoy photography, cooking new recipes, and volunteering at local community events.

My name is Lisa Lane, and I am a Team Lead at Kapaya Care. I joined in 2025 after working for several years as a senior carer in both residential and home care environments.

My main responsibility is to support our care team on the ground, making sure new carers are trained, supported, and feel confident in delivering the best standard of care. I also carry out spot checks, supervisions, and work closely with the Care Manager to uphold our commitment to high-quality care.

I am proud to be someone my team can rely on for advice, encouragement, and practical support. I have completed my Level 3 in Health and Social Care and am passionate about ongoing learning and development.

What drives me is knowing that our clients feel safe, respected, and cared for, just as we would want for our own families.

Outside of work, I love music, attending live events, and spending time with my two dogs at the local park.
