A message from our Registered Manager

Mrs Teresa Strudwick

Providing care for over 20 years

As your Home Manager, its my greatest joy and privilege to establish a meaningful relationship with each and everyone of you and I look forward to enjoying the pleasure of working with you.

I am committed to going beyond my role of being a manager by ensuring that The Willows has a family like atmosphere where everyone feels valued, understood, and deeply cared for.

I believe that the heart of our home lies in the smiles, stories, and shared experiences of our residents.

That's why I make it our mission to ensuring that each day here is filled with comfort, enjoyment and meaningful life

Together, we make our home a place of laughter, love, and lasting memories.

Your thoughts, feedback, and participation are well appreciated and inform us in making our community vibrant and fulfilling for everyone.

Looking forward to many more beautiful moments together!
