Meet The Manager
Jesamy Rawlings is General Manager at Oakham Grange.
Hello I am the General Manager here at Oakham Grange.
I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse, having qualified at Robert Gordon’s University in 2007. I began my career working in Royal Cornhill Hospital in Aberdeen, in a functional assessment ward for those over 65 years of age who were experiencing acute mental health issues. I then moved on to working in a dementia assessment ward, and following that a challenging behaviour ward for gentlemen over the age of 65. Upon my return from maternity leave, I worked in a variety of settings, and then made the move back home to Rutland where I took up of Clinical Lead in a care home.
I am so proud to work at Oakham Grange, having been born in Oakham and bought up in Uppingham. I believe that people should be treated with the same love and care that I would like to see my own family treated with, and strive to make sure that this is the case for all our residents at Oakham Grange.
Family owned - Residential Care with Nursing.
Oakham Grange is an amazing, life affirming place. Purpose built and designed by the family that owns it, it’s been created to be a home, not a hotel. You will find it’s a bright and airy place to live, with lots of sunlight giving a sense of natural warmth, as it shines through the many double aspect picture windows. French doors encourage you to enjoy the well laid out gardens, for a gentle stroll around the raised beds or just feel the season’s breeze on your face.
Oakham Grange is made up of three households that are known as; Sandpiper, Osprey and Avocet. The creation of these areas makes getting to know Oakham Grange easier and helps to build a family like camaraderie between residents and staff, as well making your private bedroom, never too far away to pop back to.
About us: Oakham Grange is an Ardale home. We are a family run business which has owned and managed care homes for more than 25 years. We have created Oakham Grange to be the home suitable for our own family members to live in. We are not an anonymous ‘grey’ corporate care company and you will soon get to know us all. Our experienced leadership team are responsible for a small number of bespoke homes, so we can give each one our full support to deliver the highest quality care.
We are very proud that each of our homes are unique and aim to be the care home of choice, in the communities we serve.

As well as our regular Therapy Dog visitor, there will be many organised visits in and out of Oakham Grange, to get close to a range of domestic animals and to keep connected with our county’s wildlife and farm animals. |
