Meet The Manager
Heidi Williams is General Manager at Anning House.
I hold my Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management, a diploma in adult nursing, and mentoring qualifications.
I decided to join Anning House because I wanted to be part of a well-respected larger company that was part of the wider community where I live.
As a General Manager it’s important that I have empathy, and am able to listen and lead by example. I always want to be a good role model, and empower my team and others, treating everyone with respect. I went into nursing to make a difference; this can be a big impact or just the little things that make a difference to someone’s life. I’m still incredibly proud and happy to be able to continue to do this in my career every day.
Anning House is a luxury care home set in a peaceful and highly desirable residential area of Weymouth. The home provides high-quality residential, nursing and dementia care, as well as short-term respite care.
Residents' rooms are spacious, beautifully furnished and all rooms are en-suite. THe building features light and stylish lounges which have views out to the coast and there are excellent facilities, including a café, a hair and beauty salon, cinema, small library and a shop - all of which are available to family and friends.
The home also benefits from having beautifully landscaped sensory gardens, which have been carefully designed for wheelchair users and are also home to our pet chickens.
