Meet The Manager
Pauline Melville is Manager at Bowburn Care Centre.
It’s my pleasure to meet such wonderful people and to support all residents at Bowburn Care Home. I have worked for St Philips Care for 8 years and l worked my way up the ladder. I have now been given the opportunity to be Manager at Bowburn Care Home and it is my passion to provide great care for all the residents of the home and to support their families.
Bowburn Care Home is located in the former mining village of Bowburn, which offers easy road links to the nearby city of Durham.
At St Philips Care we give people a sense of place and somewhere they really love to live, making each of our homes fun, friendly and comfortable places to be.
