Meet The Manager
Lucie Willday is Registered Manager at Bowbrook.
As manager here at Bowbrook, I have 13 years experience caring for people living with dementia and I'm also studying a level 5 in management in health and social care. I'm passionate about giving customers the best experience and a smooth transition from home into the care and support environment and using research to better understand dementia and ways we can accommodate day to day living with a positive impact for customers within the service.
I do the role as it is very rewarding, I've always aspired to make a difference in people's lives and build a strong person-centred community.

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.
