Meet The Manager
Amanda is Home Manager at The Hollies.
I started out working for Leeds City Council in a Dementia Home in Headingly which sadly closed before joining the Learning and Development Team in Merrion House. There I supported carers to achieve their NVQ.
After 22 years with LCC I began delivering NVQ training in Homecare and Residential. I then went on to be the registered manger of a mental health community support organisation and then a Homecare Manager for 9 years in the Wakefield area.
Over the years I have gained my NVQ 2, 3, 4 and 7, Assessor and Internal Verifier award and gained a large amount of experience and knowledge. After 36 years I am still learning new things every day!
I am passionate about my residents in The Hollies and feel privileged to be supporting and caring for them in their home.
The Hollies is a lovely home which I am helping to fill with love.
Anyone who cares for a parent or other relative with dementia knows the level of care it takes to provide a good quality of life.
The home specialises in caring for elderly people with dementia. We maintain strong links with local healthcare professionals, allowing specialist care for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia-related conditions.
