Meet The Manager
Lesley Wilkins is Registered Manager at Lago Homecare - Yarm Office.
I began my career in care in 1994 after having my first son. This was working in a local home for people living with chronic neurological conditions, people relearning what they can achieve, and adapting to uncertain futures.
As a carer, I quickly learned my strengths are formed by my values; integrity, compassion, kindness and hope. This was the start of what has now been a 30-year career, caring and supporting people with various needs - older people, people living with dementia, people experiencing severe and enduring mental health issues, and people living with various learning disabilities.
I hold current Level 5 Diplomas in Health and Social Care and also Operations and Departmental Management. I am a dementia and sensory champion and hold a suite of mandatory and specialist care training certificates.
We are an independent, community-based provider of exceptional care at home across Teesside and North Yorkshire.
We offer companionship, personal care, respite care, reablement care, dementia care, palliative care, live-in care, mental health support, and learning disability support.
