Meet The Manager
Sara White is Care Home Manager at Meadowside Care Home.
Hello, I am the Registered Manager for Meadowside Care Home and have been working here for two years. At Meadowside Care home we provide support to adults over 65 including the provision of high-quality dementia friendly care.
I love working at Meadowside care home and seeing the difference that we make to our residents’ lives. I am committed to ensuring a high level of service delivery ensuring that all residents have choice and control over their care, and I am impressed daily by the dedication of the staff team who go above and beyond to ensure residents lead happy and fulfilling lives. Residents are at the heart of what we do and we always ensure that we are working in a person centred way, ensuring positive outcomes for the individuals we support.
I look forward to welcoming you to our newly refurbished care home.
