Passionate about creating a homely environment, Karen says: “I love getting to know our residents and understanding the person they are behind their dementia. They can be themselves here and live life to the full. Nothing is more rewarding than that.” Karen is committed to continuous professional development, staying up to date with best practices to ensure residents and their families consistently receive the highest standard of dementia care.
