Having worked in the family business all through school and university, it certainly felt like coming home when I returned, full time, in 1997. Having worked in all sorts of capacities over the years, it’s been fascinating and exciting to see the professionalisation of social care work in the last 10 years or so. The face of social care has changed beyond recognition, and I am incredibly proud that the team here at Bowfell House are leading the way in extolling the virtues and strengths of social care.

I love working at Bowfell House where I feel privileged to work with the whole team to ensure this is a great place to live and work.
There have been enormous changes in adult social care in my 30 plus years in the profession, but I love the fact that every day is different. Every day is a learning day.
My role includes financial and strategic management and I have oversight for compliance and estates. Basically, I sit in on lots of meetings, read lots of documents and complete lots of spreadsheets. If that sounds a bit boring and bureaucratic, I also find lots of time to enjoy chatting with the residents, staff, and families. I find this is a great way to learn what we are doing well and where we can improve.
Away from work I enjoy spinning classes, eating out, and attending live music concerts. I also love spending time with my family and planning our next holiday!

I am passionate about giving our residents the best life possible in their time living with us in their new home. We are a family business and family care centered care is key to Bowfell House and my role. My role as Director of Hospitality is focused on our residents lived experience. I am enthusiastic about our nutrition and hydration offering and believe good food and mealtime experiences are important at all stages of life and can bring so much happiness and joy to our residents’ day.
Working in care for over 30 years I have seen enormous change and I am always excited to learn new things and look for ways to improve the lived experience of all those who live with us at Bowfell House. Looking after our activity provision certainly introduces me to new things, from butterfly gardens to wellness morning, classical afternoons to chair Zumba, myself and the team always look to go above and beyond to improve the lived experience for our residents.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my five children and two granddaughters, I love spinning classes, eating (and drinking!) with friends, spending time at home and going on holiday!

I started my role in care 25 years ago aged just 22.
This wasn’t my chosen profession, I trained as a hairdresser for 2 years but fell pregnant with my first child and working nights suited me with children to look after.
It is now a job that I love and couldn’t ever imagine working in any other setting. I have worked in various care settings, starting in EMI residential, I then worked for 15 years in a small residential care home, before becoming a Coordinator of an independent living service for people with Dementia.
I started work at the Knoll Care Partnership in July 2019 working at the Knoll and the Fairways before we transferred over to Bowfell House.
My main role here is to oversee the day to day running of the home, ensuring that our residents needs are met and that our team of staff are all ok. I am also part of the in-house training team and deliver training to our team for Manual Handling and falls prevention.
Working at Bowfell House is an amazing opportunity for me and I am so proud to be part of a team who value each resident and who come to work to make a difference to their day.
Outside of working life I have 3 grown up children, 2 daughters and a son. My youngest daughter has followed in my footsteps and works alongside me at Bowfell House.
I have 3 dogs-who are my new babies!! I love taking them out for walks they are Lola, Frank and Missy. I have three grandchildren who keep me young!
Family is very important to me, I love spending time with my family and love to have them all around me. I love to cook and spend time in my garden.

I have worked for The Knoll Care Partnership for three years. My previous employment and background was in Domiciliary care.
The best decision was made in 2019 when I felt I needed to change my direction although remain in Health and Social care. I opened a new chapter and challenged myself with the change into a residential setting.
My role at Bowfell House is very important to me and I feel extremely valued as one of the Care Managers. I have met truly inspirational individuals and have been privileged to work with them through of the most difficult episodes in my career so far.
I am loyal, passionate and have lots of energy to which I try to bring to my role. Having a positive mindset, a caring and charismatic approach is very important to me.
The residents are Family to me, and I love to make a difference to their day.
Reading, watching box sets and spending time with my family are how my days off are spent currently in between I am learning to drive!
I am always listening to music and singing like nobody is listening. Music is my joy, alongside my Gorgeous nephew, Harry.
Bowfell House is a great place to live and work and there nowhere else I’d rather be.

I look after the resident’s medication needs here at Bowfell House and am also part of the in-house training team. I have been here since Bowfell opened its doors back in 2019 and love being part of Team Awesome and being able to work in such a fantastic environment where everyone pulls together.
I have been working for the Knoll Care Partnership for 25 years (not counting a few years away whilst I was nursing)– I must have started really young!
Family is important to me, and I like to think of the residents and staff here as part of my extended family.
Outside of work I love to spend time with my family, I have 2 Children Ellie and Ailbe. We all like to take out our greyhound Devon for long walks, preferably with a pub at the end! We love to travel, UK and abroad and thinking about where will go next is high on my priority list!

I have been part of the Knoll Care Partnership for over 10 years, during which time I have developed and sharpened my skills and experience in health and social care and progressed successfully in my chosen career.
I have held the Care Manager position since 2019 with a Diploma in Leadership and Management Level 5 here in UK.
A holder of a Bachelor’s degree of Nursing in the Philippines, I have great pride and honour that I work with passion and dedication and always with a positive attitude. As with the whole team I showed respect and practice kindness to our residents who are vulnerable adults.
I believe that one should always be open to acquiring new knowledge and experiences because it’s part of learning and being competitive in a healthy work setting.
For my personal side of my life, I love spending time with my family, friends and loved ones; together we create memories that will last for a lifetime.

Our Testimonials
Mum has been at Bowfell, just over a year now and in that time the owners and staff have made her feel very welcome and the care has been brilliant. The building is modern and bright with all the facilities you’d imagine. Carers encourage Mum to take part in activities and socialise with other residents without pressure, which she has started to do recently. There’s always plenty going on. You can really tell this is a family run business, which extends to their employees, giving a friendly, welcoming feel. Communication is brilliant and no request is too big, small or trivial. Mum has settled so well, under tough circumstances and I cannot imagine her being happier anywhere else. Thank you all.
Rob
Son of resident
Myself and the rest of the family are extremely impressed with all aspects of our mum’s care at Bowfell House. The management and staff are very caring and always willing to answer any questions. They keep us informed of any events and provide us with information about activities Mum is participating in. The home is very comfortable and modern. It is a safe and happy environment. I would recommend it to anyone in the same position as we were, in choosing a care home for a loved one.
Jacqueline
Daughter of resident
Bowfell House gives us peace of mind knowing that my mum is cared for to a high standard. She is safe and cared for by all the staff. The staff ensure we are kept updated with any issues arising. Mum is happy with her Bowfell Home and the staff, who are her newest members of our family.
Gillian
Daughter of resident
It was a big decision to move into care, but with a progressive disease, it was the best solution, and the home gives me independence with support from the staff at all levels.
Care is a small word with a big meaning, and they treat me as l would expect to be looked after. The owners made a home that because it was purpose-built, could cope with the needs of residents 24/7 with everything that was needed to hand. Care is what the world needs more of, and I believe Bowfell gives it to the highest standard.
