Our Team
Home Manager
Our residential care home is led by Care Home Manager, Sam Hoare-Wilkinson, who supports our qualified team of carers, kitchen and housekeeping team.
Sam joined the Jasmine Team at Avenue House in October 2017 as Deputy Manager. Sam chose to pursue a career in care from the age of 19 and has worked in different care settings, including as a care assistant at a Nursing home and in Residential and Domiciliary Care. Whilst gaining valuable experience, Sam has also undertaken a programme of study and has achieved NVQ qualifications at levels 2, 3 and 5 in Adult Health and Social Care, in addition to a Counselling Skills course.
Sam passionately believes that we are invited to work in our residents’ home, and the empowerment of their choices, rights and independence are fundamental to her approach to care.
Our Team
The care home manager is supported by a clinical lead and deputy manager in order to ensure there is a member of the management team available every day of the week. We believe this is important for the well-being of our residents and the peace of mind of their relatives.
Our Home Managers are assisted by a qualified and experienced care team including specialist nurses. The care home team is dedicated to carrying out their duties 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are committed to making a meaningful difference to the lives of the residents who live at Avenue House.
Leadership Support Team
The Avenue House team are supported by the Leadership Support Team with further support from the Jasmine Support Hub team.
