Lucy Gradwell is General Manager at Fairfax Manor Care Home.
I am Harrogate born and bred. I was pretty much brought up in a nursing home as my mother is a retired nursing home manager. I started as a carer in 1997 and have worked every role within care homes, working my way up to manager. Despite going to drama school and working as a professional actress for nearly 10 years, I took on registered manager of my first home in 2010 and since then have worked either as a registered manager or as a quality support manager ever since. I have my NVQ5 in management. I enjoy horse riding and amateur dramatics and may even break into a song or dance at times for the residents!
Set to open early 2024, Fairfax Manor offers a luxury living environment with exceptional care, all with a homely feel. A range of outstanding state-of-the-art facilities are available for all to enjoy.
Our focus is to support older people to continue to live an active and enriched life, regardless of their needs.
We understand the importance of getting to know the person and their family before they move in, and our initial assessment would just be the start of that relationship. You can be assured that our team will treat you with compassion and dignity, providing you with the very best care and support.
