Meet The Manager
Aaron Lennon is Home Manager at Redwell Hills Care Home.
Aaron is a diligent individual who has gained a wealth of knowledge over the 10 years that he has been in the health and social care sector. He has his Level 5 in Leadership and Management and has experience in varying roles across the care sector. However, his passion is residential care, which he thrives in at Redwell Hills. He believes that the key to great care is kindness and compassion. Aaron is a proud father who loves spending time with his three children when he isn’t working. He is also an avid reader.
Words of encouragement from Aaron for someone looking for the right care home would be: “Look for a family to become a part of.”
What makes the resident experience at Redwell Hills so special? We believe it’s our real sense of ‘family’ that has kindness, friendliness and respect right at its heart.
We provide residential care for those simply wanting help with everyday activities, nursing care for people with more complex medical needs and intermediate care as an alternative to a hospital bed. We also offer shortterm respite stays giving home carers a well-earned break. In every case we’re here to provide all the care each person’s own family could wish for. Redwell Hills is in a pleasant village setting close to local shops and other amenities including public transport. All areas of our home are fresh and cheerful with a choice of lively or quiet communal spaces where residents can relax with each other or welcome family and friends.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Another way we can help our residents to feel at home is for them to do familiar things. So our dedicated Activities Leaders gently encourage residents to carry on doing things they enjoy. If someone had a hobby or pastime they did before they arrived, we’ll encourage them to continue it with us. Or perhaps they may like to learn something new. The important thing is that we treat every resident as an individual. If they enjoy sharing time with others, either in our home or on an organised trip out, they’re most welcome. Or, if they prefer quiet time alone, we’ll respect that too. We run a busy activities programme that ranges from socialising in our lovely garden to weekly outings and community links with local schools and churches, including monthly services, which always puts a smile on our residents' faces. |
