Meet The Manager
Sara Muslin is Home Manager at Ferndown Manor.
Before I joined Care UK I worked as a Home Manager for several care homes and before that, I worked as a District Nurse Manager for 20 years.
I decided to join Care UK as the company was highly recommended and its values reflect how care should be delivered and how I would want to be cared for.
In my role as Home Manager, I want to ensure the home remains a happy, safe place where residents thrive, and the team is proud to work. I want to ensure the highest standards of care are maintained. To succeed in this role, you need to be a good listener, be empathetic, have strong leadership skills, and be a good role model.
Walking around the home first thing in the morning is my favourite part of my job as it gives me an opportunity to greet every member of staff and residents. I also love to see the atmosphere when residents are enjoying positive participation in fulfilling activities.
Ferndown Manor is a purpose-built care home that offers round-the-clock residential, nursing and short-term respite care, as well as specialist dementia care.
Located in Ferndown, Dorset, the experienced and skilled team deliver excellent care in luxurious surroundings. All bedrooms are en-suite and individually styled. Residents are encouraged to live active and fulfilled lives with premium facilities, such as a cinema, hair salon and a café.
The Ferndown team get to know each resident, including their needs, interests and tastes, tailoring their care and lifestyle plans to suit each individual. They carefully plan a wide range of group and one-to-one activities such as music sessions, outings and growing vegetables in the garden.
