Meet The Manager
Dawn Whitehouse is Home Manager at Abbey Court Care Home.
Hi, my name is Dawn, and I am delighted to be the Home Manager here at Abbey Court.
I Joined Abbey Court Care Home in 2016 and have over 46 years of experience in the healthcare sector, including several years as a Regional Manager. In this time, I have developed my skills by achieving qualifications such as Registered Nurse, which helps me to succeed today.
Avery Healthcare, owners of Abbey Court, best stands out for striving to be the best, providing high-quality care in their homes whilst offering support to their managers and staff. And Abbey Court is no exception. Our home is truly unique for the homely and friendly atmosphere that our residents and staff create.
I look forward to welcoming you to the Abbey Court community.
Abbey Court Care Home at Heath Hayes, Cannock, Staffordshire offers the luxury feel of a hotel in a care environment. This purpose-built home has 67 spacious en-suite single bedrooms, and four companion rooms for friends or couples to share. At our home, we warmly welcome couples or companions who want to continue their care journey together. Abbey Court residents can choose from several separate bright and spacious lounge and dining areas, so there are plenty of spaces for socialising as the residents wish. However, we also provide quieter and cosy areas, for when residents want to have a bit of ‘me time’ with a good book and cup of tea.
The bedrooms have been tastefully designed in stylish combinations of colour, comfort and homeliness, and are fully furnished to a high standard. Residents are encouraged to decorate their space with familiar and personal mementoes, such as pictures, blankets or flowers in an effort to ensure they feel at home. Many of the ground floor rooms have doors that open out onto quaint patios, giving them a more open aspect and a quiet place to relax when the sun decides to make an appearance.
We realise that moving into a care home is a big emotional and physical step in someone’s life, and can be somewhat intimidating when not in the best of health or are having problems with memory. At our Abbey Court Care Home in Cannock, we do our best to reassure relatives that we treat our residents with the respect and companionship they deserve, and help them to have as full a life as possible. Our round-the-clock care puts minds at ease.

This purpose-built home has 67 spacious single bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities together with four companion rooms for friends or couples to share. Abbey Court residents can choose from several separate bright and spacious lounge and dining areas, so there are plenty of spaces for socialising as the residents wish. We use modern technology to best advantage. The internet can be a great resource – YouTube, for instance for rediscovering historical events and aspects of past life which help to stimulate those with memory loss. And it’s surprising who can learn to manipulate an i-pad! |

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Life at Abbey Court is stimulating and active and we are keen to involve relatives and friends as much as possible, encouraging them to join the committees that steer home life. The more the communication, the better the care and attention. Our Activity Coordinators are enthusiastic in devising a wide programme of activities and entertainment suited to each person’s needs; crafting and doing armchair exercises are popular. Furry and strokeable animals are always a hit. Not quite so sure about the snakes though! We regularly hold religious services and are always keen to foster new links with the local community. |
