Meet The Manager
Catherine Brewster is General Manager at Mortain Place Care Home.
I have worked in adult social care for over 28 years and bring a great knowledge of how a great home is managed.
I specialise in dementia care and I am a Trained nurse from Brighton University. I am working hard to deliver a great experience for our residents and their families. I like to greet all new visitors to our home and if you wish to visit my door is always open. My team and I look forward to meeting you soon.
The home has a dedicated area we call our Memory Lane Community, which provides high-quality care for people with dementia. Within our community, memory boxes with small reminders and items such as photographs are used to help each person reminisce. Features such as adapted crockery and tableware, sensory gardens with low risk walkways and activity kitchens also enable people to engage in life's everyday simple tasks and pleasures. Essential to our homely feel is the enhanced relationship of trust we build with family, friends and residents.
Our luxurious facilities combined with highly trained staff ensure each and every individual is given superior attention. Our 24-hour care is provided in a warm, welcoming environment, with delicious meals and daily activities, including a choice of therapeutic approaches. These help to stimulate our people’s minds, and empower them to approach their future in a positive way.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
