Meet The Manager

Rachel Dadwa-As is Manager at Canterbury House care home.

We are very proud of the five-star accommodation and care that Canterbury House offers.

Our accommodation standards and features are superior in so many ways but, most importantly, I believe we have built a team to deliver a very special and unique standard of person-centred care and support to anyone who chooses to make Canterbury House their home of choice.

We also know only too well how difficult and emotional the decisions are for everyone when considering a move to a new home.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
