Hi everyone, I am Dean. I am the home manager of Holme House Care Home. I have been with croft care now for just over a year. I have worked in Health and social care for 14 years in various job roles. I have managed services for 4 years and attained my level 5 in health and social and management.
I fell into care by accident after my grandad was admitted to a care home who he spent the last days of his life. After seeing the amazing person centred and palliative care, he received I thought I could do that, and I have never looked back. My goal is to ensure that all our staff in the home are delivering this level of care and more.
When asked 40years ago "why do you want to be a nurse" I replied, "because I want to care for people" a simple answer, but still holds true today, I have always worked hard to ensure those we look after have the best care we can give.
