Meet The Manager
Holli Taylor is Manager at Wellcroft.
Holli joined Borough Care in Jan 2022 and has worked in the health and social care industry for over 18 years. She’s passionate about providing person-centred care for our residents and believes that involving the residents and their families in the process makes for the best possible care. Holli has an open-door policy at Wellcroft, and will often be seen out and about the home, assisting residents and having a chat with anyone and everyone. She also holds NVQs in health and social care levels 2 & 3 and a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in health and social care.
Wellcroft is one of our dementia-friendly care homes located in Gatley, Stockport. The 42-bed home has a unique community that has been brought to life through its vibrant facilities. Amongst the fun features is a French-style bistro, the Wellcroft Arms pub, a library area and a retro shop. Every part of Wellcroft is themed, down to the laundry room, so residents feel at home.
To help create a strong sense of community, Wellcroft offers playdates with local mums and their children, enabling the residents to forget their troubles and be present.
Our dedicated team of ALFs (Activity and Lifestyle Facilitators) make sure residents always have something to look forward to. From days out to themed activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
