Meet The Manager
Teresa Torres is Registered Manager at Lea Grange Care Home.
Joining us with over 40 years of experience working in health and social care, Teresa is a Level 4 Registered Manager and has previously commissioned new builds both as a home and area manager.
Looking to the future, Teresa aims to establish Lea Grange as a well-known part of the community and a place known for providing safe and empathetic care for individuals in Harpenden and the wider Hertfordshire area.
Outside of work, Teresa spends her time caring for her mother, cycling, relaxing with a good book and visiting her children.
Opening July 2024
Nestled in the gorgeous town of Harpenden with a direct rail connection to Central London, Lea Grange Care Home is situated on Coldharbour Lane, just a five minute drive away from the town’s centre. Harpenden and its surrounding areas include notable sites such as St. Alban’s Cathedral and Batford Springs Nature Reserve.
This delightful location straddles two superb valleys and is home to one of the oldest agricultural research institutions in the world. With plenty to do, Harpenden is a bustling mix of independent and high street shops and restaurants, with the nearby districts of Batford, Southdown and Luton Road providing plenty of extra sites to explore.
