Meet The Manager
Leon Nyariri is General Manager at Elm View Care Home.
I have worked for Quantum Care for many years starting as a Carer in 2003 and working my way up to Home Manager position. All I wanted from a young age was to look after people. I have undertaken various training in Management and Leadership which has given me the knowledge and direction to be effective in my job role.
I believe that people should be cared for in a holistic way taking into account what makes them who they are. I take pride in championing others to be the best they can be in their job role. It is important to me that I develop meaningful relationships with residents, staff, relatives and other stakeholders to facilitate working in partnership to benefit everyone involved with the home, mainly the residents.
I see myself as an advocate for the residents making sure that they receive the best care possible, especially those who can no longer communicate their needs or those living with dementia.
Elm View Care Home brings the very latest in luxury care home living to Bishop’s Stortford. This beautiful home is a place where older people can enjoy life as part of a warm and friendly community where every day is lived to its fullest.
The home offers residential and specialist dementia care as well as respite care, which is a short period of stay within the home enabling those caring for an individual to take time off while the home takes up the responsibility of providing the care. Respite care is also perfect for those individuals who want to see what care home life is like without making a longer-term commitment.
At Elm View Care Home you are free to live and enjoy life in any way you wish, with the support from our helpful and compassionate carers whenever it’s needed. We’ll take care of everything while you concentrate on enjoying life to its fullest.
