From the Home Manager to the Chef, the Housekeeping team to the Clinical Lead, we all come together to make ‘One Team’, putting residents at the heart of all we do.
Martin Corrigan – Home Manager
I am delighted to be back at my “spiritual home”, Colten Care. I have previously work at Colten Care as a Regional Manager, before raking early retirement, only to come back to work to manage 2 different homes during the pandemic. Having spent the last few years as an Interim Manager for other providers, I am delighted to be appointed as the Home Manager at The Aldbury. It is great to see so many residents living so well with Dementia and work in a Care Home that focuses on what the residents can do, not what they can’t do. My team and I are always available to offer support and guidance to family members and I operate an open door policy .”
Victoria Smith – Clinical Lead
I have been a registered nurse for over 12 years, working solely within dedicated dementia communities. I have a real passion for enriching the lives of those I care for through the provision of holistic care, fun, and love. Alongside this, I focus my clinical skills and knowledge to develop the care team to look after your loved ones from an individual perspective, overcoming challenges as they arise, so they truly live well with their dementia.
“The staff have been wonderful during this difficult period and have worked very hard to help my mum settle and support the family.” – J S, daughter of resident at The Aldbury
