Meet The Manager

Carla Kell is Home Manager at Charlton Lodge.

I’m excited by the challenge of working at a newly commissioned care home.

A good Home Manager needs to be calm, patient, proactive, and empathetic. I understand through extensive experience that the small details make a huge difference. I’m always happy to talk through any questions or concerns residents or their families have.

I strive to ensure my team always provides the professional and empathetic care everyone deserves. Under my leadership with a previous team, we won the ‘The Team of the Year’ and ‘West Berkshire Business of the Year’ awards.

I’m married with two grown up children and I’m a keen runner. I love walking our dog or enjoy chilling out with a coffee after some retail therapy.

Carla Kell
