Our Team
What makes George Brooker House special is our loyal team of dedicated people. They provide the highest standards of residential and specialist dementia care within a real ‘home from home’ environment. Many members of staff are long serving employees of the home, which is a testament to the fact that they are happy in their work and genuinely care about our residents. Every hour of every day, house staff are working to make sure every resident receives quality care to meet their individual needs.
Our professional team is led by Margaret Strong, the registered manager. She has various heads of departments to support her in the day-to-day running of the home. Daily hands on care is carried out by our senior carers and care assistants who are all professionally qualified in caring for both the frail and elderly, and for those residents with dementia.
Margaret Strong
Registered Manager
The house has a professional catering team that provide nutritious, freshly cooked meals daily for our residents. Additionally, a well-organised domestic staff ensure optimum levels of comfort and house cleanliness. They work on a daily basis, cleaning residents’ bedrooms as well as all communal areas throughout the home. The maintenance officer ensures that the house is well maintained and a safe environment for residents and staff. We also employ a gardener who tends to the garden on a regular basis, keeping it tidy and seasonal all year round.
"Mum has had the best care possible, they know her so well and are able to cajole her into activities, that she now loves. There is always plenty on offer to the resident's and their relatives, as they do encourage us to get involved. I have had so many happy times with my mum. The staff have become like family."
