A word from our manager,
Lisa-Marie Donovan Featured
"Throughout my 18 years in the Care sector I have visited and worked in a variety of homes and in hospital settings. Many were merely just organisational in their approach and in my view lacked that ever so important homely feel.
With a vision of wanting to be best and not the biggest, my mission here at Roebuck Nursing Home is to promote, provide and instill confidence in our Residents so they feel they belong here with us and are part of our family. We equally extend our welcoming atmosphere to families and visitors.
It is extremely important to me that individuals needs are met and further recognised as unique which is why I have embedded the same in my team. Our Roebuck staff are chosen for their hearts as well as their skills to deliver the best care, discreetly and in a dignified manner. It's a proud moment for us when as a team we are able to make a difference in people's lives."

Cheryl – What do you love about working
in the care sector?
I just love coming into work and trying to make a difference in other people’s lives. The people are here because they can’t look after themselves anymore. The fact that we are coming in to look after them, or just help them with their day to day lives, is just rewarding. I think it’s easy to take things for granted like getting up in the morning and being able to go to the bathroom and have a shower, or make your own breakfast. It’s these simple things that make you independent and we don’t realise one day that could be taken away from us. Coming into work and helping the residents with those things makes me feel like I’m doing something worthwhile.

Kym – What would you say to someone who has hesitations about coming into care?
You get a lot of support from the staff. I help anyone who is interested in care for the right reasons, even if they are hesitant. My own daughter works in community care and never in a million years did I think she would do care. It’s absolutely brilliant. You have to just give it a go and you build confidence as you go. It can be upsetting at times but every day is highly rewarding. We have an open-door policy so you always get the support from leadership you need.

Courtney – What training have you
received in your role?
There is a lot of initial training and update training in areas such as ‘Moving and Assisting’, ‘Safeguarding’ and much more. I completed the ‘Dementia Champion Pathway’ at HCPA, which was intense but I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lisa, the manager, asked if I would like to do this course, we looked through it together, what it would involve and I agreed. She supported me the whole way through it and is now supporting me with what I am implementing in the home as a result of competing this course. For example, we have created an indoor garden for residents that are unable to go outside and we are making changes for each resident here depending on their individual needs. There’s a lot of other internal training such as ‘PEG feeding’ and ‘Nutrition training’ too.

"Spotted in Stevenage"
Our Facebook Page"This home is right for me. The activities, quiz, art etc still leave time for quiet spells in my room, for reading, crosswords and the daily paper, plus a rest in my armchair now and then. The patio also enables me to enjoy a walk around and be involved with the flower garden"
