Formby Manor Care Home In Merseyside

Janet Lewis, Home Manager

I have extensive experience working in clinical and management positions in both the NHS and independent care sector. I am thrilled to be part of the highly talented team at New Care Homes as Home Manager of the lovely Formby Manor Care Centre.

Nikki Foster, Clinical Lead

I have been a qualified RGN for 14 years and prior to those 9 years as a health care assistant. As a health care assistant, I worked with the elderly and then as a RGN worked in the NHS on a respiratory ward and then to ITU. I then was a complex care manager in the community. On reflection of my career, it was clear to me that working with the elderly is where my passion lied and was given the opportunity to join New Care. During my career change and wanting to work with the elderly again it was paramount to me to work for a company who had the same values and person-centred approach that I did and I certainly found it with New Care. I Joined New Care 5 months ago and can honestly say it is the best company I have worked with in my 23 years in the care sector. As the Clinical Lead I strongly feel I am given the opportunity to discuss what is right for our staff and to tailor clinical learning to individual needs to ensure the residents have the best care. I am supported in decisions made to ensure the resident and family's get the 5 star treatment they deserve. The Home Manager ensures we have an open-door policy for the staff, families, residents and health professionals. I feel privilege to work with a company that go above and beyond on a daily bases this is right up to the senior managers who when visit the home always bring nice treats with them. I was impressed when I was informed and witnessed Wellbeing Wednesday as this is to ensure the staff are also supported and looked after and give them time to enjoy treats and take time out. New Care have the residents always at the forefront of there ethos's but also the staff to ensure they are supported. A wise man once said to me 'if you enjoy your job, you will never work a day in your life' and this has been proven since I joined New Care.

Adele Sandison, Head of Care

I have worked in the care sector for 7 years; I started my career as a Care Assistant. I have now worked for New Care since 2020, I started my career at Formby Manor Care Centre as a Care Assistant. I loved my role as a Care Assistant and wanted to further my career with a company who I know looks after their staff. From Care Assistant I went on to be a Team Leader in the home, I worked as a Team Leader for 10 months and when the opportunity came to become a Head of Care I jumped at the chance. I have now been in my Head of Care role for 5 months. I have never felt as supported by a company as I do New Care. The home I work for is amazing, with amazing staff and leadership but I have found in my new role the support is not just the staff from my own home, it is a whole company approach and I love that.

Peter Gleave, Home Trainer

Having worked for Newcare for 3 years now I can say with absolute certainty that it has promoted an environment where learning is fun, accessible and generates positive discussion around improvement. As a trainer I feel like I am given the opportunity to choose what is right for our staff and to tailor learning to individual needs. The feedback is great and staff look forward to their sessions. But most importantly all staff are listened to and feel part of a great team, no matter their role.
