Graham was born in Bridport and trained as a Nurse at Yeovil Hospital.
He has managed a number of Care Homes and joins us from running a home in Devizes, Wiltshire.
Graham has previously managed a range of settings including a Care Village, he describes Coneygar as a unique Care Hamlet.
"This is a very different model from other care homes I have been involved with but I am struck by how well the staff know the resident's needs and the lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Coneygar is a special place".
James joined the family business in 2005 from a background in design engineering to assist with the day-to-day organisation and was tasked to bring the business into the new century by embracing technology to help improve the home and reduce the administrative burden on the care staff. He works alongside the Registered Manager & deputy on a daily basis.
Ted was a self employed electrician for over 40 years before ‘retiring' to assist with renovations and repairs at Coneygar in 2004. He is still involved on the practical & maintenance side of the home.
Wendy, a former RGN, had seen over the years the general poor conditions prevalent in many care homes when looking for her father who was suffering Alzheimer's disease. She had a vision to create a care home that offered an amazing level of care with a homely atmosphere. In 1999 she purchased Coneygar Lodge with her husband, Ted, to put that vision into practise and is still very much involved with the home to this day.
