Meet The Manager
Nicola Gill is Home Manager at Whiston Hall.
"I’ve managed care homes before I joined Whiston Hall and have worked in training and development roles and management of care homes. Two of my roles in management have been where homes have been rated as requiring improvement, and I have worked with the team to turn the homes around to support them to meet regulatory compliance.
Whiston Hall is a fantastic home, and I’m very proud to have the opportunity to work with the team to provide excellent care."
Located in the scenic village of Whiston, Rotherham, in a converted period building, Whiston Hall Care Home provides a safe and secure environment for each of our valued residents.
We create fully customised care plans that embrace each resident's cultural, spiritual, and emotional preferences and cater to any specific needs. Our dementia and respite care units provide the best compassionate, high-quality care for each resident, and our daily activities will surely offer something for everyone.
