Paula Deadman is Home Manager at Acorn Court Care Home.
Paula knew she wanted to become a nurse from the age of five when, during regular hospital visits to see her grandma, she found pleasure in delivering the water jugs and chatting to the other patients. From then on, she knew one day she would become a nurse. In her mid-20s she made the move to return to her early love and studied to become a registered nurse.
Since then, she’s gained a wealth of experience, working as a staff nurse, sister and matron in hospitals and the community and then as a care home manager at a local nursing home. After joining our Acorn Court family as our director of nursing, Paula was then promoted to our home manager in 2024.
Speaking about Acorn Court, Paula said: “Our amazing residents, their families and our team are why I love being here. Being part of our residents’ lives is such an honour and working as part of a loving team who are all there to make every day special for our residents is such a privilege.”
At Acorn Court we provide award-winning, high-quality residential, nursing, dementia, and ABI care. We also hold platinum accreditation with the Gold Standards Framework for compassionate end-of-life care.
Our skilled and longstanding care team, led by our home’s clinical manager, is dedicated to delivering loving, personalised care, tailored to each resident's unique needs and preferences. With decades of collective experience, whether providing acute clinical care, assisting with daily activities, or supporting families, our team works together to enhance the lives of our residents.
Our home is a nurturing and stimulating environment that promotes choice and independence, having received Highly Commended in the Dignity in Care category at the South East Great British Care Awards 2023.
With a focus on making life meaningful, every day, residents enjoy a diverse activity schedule to suit all interests and abilities. From lively music and movement sessions to relaxing gardening club, and make a wish initiative, there is something for everyone. This is complemented with day trips to local places of interest on the minibus, as well as visits from entertainers, therapy animals and preschoolers affectionately known as the ‘Little Acorns’.
Acorn Court is a friendly and welcoming home that supports residents and families to spend quality time together. It is decorated and furnished to a high standard of comfort featuring beautiful en-suite bedrooms, bright and comfortable lounges, a salon, private dining room, cinema and a bustling bistro, surrounded by landscaped gardens.
Our expert nursing and care teams receive extensive on-going training, professional development and unrivalled levels of support to ensure they can provide the exceptional care that residents deserve.
Families know their loved ones are being cared for by a trusted and reputable provider, with care and compassion at the forefront of all we do.
