Meet The Manager
Glynis Larsen is General Manager at Roseacres.
“I have been at Roseacres Residential Care Home since 2019. With over thirteen years of experience in the care industry, I’ve had the privilege of serving our residents and their families in various capacities, starting as a Deputy Manager and now leading as a Home Manager.
My journey in the care sector has been driven by a deep passion for enriching the lives of our elderly residents, creating a haven where they feel cherished and valued. My tenure as Deputy Manager allowed me to gain hands-on experience in understanding the intricate needs of our residents, their families, and our dedicated staff members.
