Clare Hedge is Manager at Leighton Rose Care Home.
I have been working in care homes for 29 years, and as a Registered Care Home Manager for the last 22 years. I love my role as no two days are ever the same and I love to make a difference to people’s lives every day.
I have a keen interest in promoting the wellbeing of residents, relatives and team members and as Commissioning Manager at Leighton Rose Care Home, it is important to me to create a friendly and happy environment and a true sense of community where we can all support one another with a sense of family.
I am excited about the amazing facilities offering every home comfort for residents, and to be leading an experienced and committed team that is always ready to go the extra mile as nothing is too much trouble.
