Meet The Manager

Feruna O'Donovan is The Home Manager at Speirs House.

We know that choosing a care home can feel, well, a bit scary. That’s why, at Greensleeves Care we work to make moving into care less daunting. I’m excited to show you what Speirs House has to offer.

It all starts with our 6-week no-obligation trial, so you get to try before committing longer term. Our approach to care means you get skill with a smile, a nice cuppa before you even realise you want one, and a joke when you need it. We think that’s all part of good caring.

Being a charity means our focus is on people, not pockets. And with our Home for Life Commitment, you’ll never be asked to leave if your funds run out. Because that’s part of good caring too.

Feruna O'Donovan
