Meet The Manager
Clare Feest is Registered Manager at Caer Gwent.
I have worked at Caer Gwent for 20 years. I have worked my way up from care assistant to care supervisor, to deputy manager of resources, through to my current role in 2021 as Registered Care Home Manager. I love meeting residents and families and have an open-door policy for all residents, families and our people. I love caring for our residents making them feel loved and part of our family.
Expert nursing care with luxury residential living
Caer Gwent combines superb residential living with 24-hour expert nursing care, supporting individuals with complex health conditions, particularly focusing on palliative (end of life) support.
