Gladys joined Heathlands Care Home as home manager in March 2024. After qualifying as a registered nurse over 20 years ago, Gladys worked in the cardiac-thoracic department of several NHS and private hospitals in London. She then moved over to social care, working as head of nursing care for a large faith-based provider where she was later promoted to registered manager. She spent the next 15 years managing homes across the London and Essex areas for several care home groups, and held responsibility for five homes as a regional support manager before coming to Heathlands.
“We will never stop striving to provide high-quality person-centred care to all our residents. Here at Heathlands it’s about providing the best possible resident (and relative) experience.”
Gladys Danquah – Home Manager
Gladys enjoys cooking and is partial to a full English breakfast on the weekends and baking during holidays.
She has recently taken up gardening and is hoping to make her own hash browns if her potatoes harvest.
Our home manager is supported by a multi-disciplinary team of nurses, carers, housekeeping, activities, facilities, administrative and catering staff who all receive regular in-house training from our learning and development team.
At Heathlands we are proud to offer our residents a lovely home where they can be relaxed and confident about receiving the best-quality care.
When a new resident moves in it is important that we spend time with them and their family. It is perfectly normal for a person’s family to be very emotional about the move, sometimes even more so than the resident themselves. My dedicated team and I understand this and work hard to meet the needs of our residents and reassure their family.
We believe in person-centred care so, with extensive input from our residents and their family, friends or representatives, we develop a care plan that is completely individual to that resident and which evolves over time as their needs change.
We would love to welcome you to our home so that you can see for yourself the high level of care, facilities, comfort and warm family atmosphere enjoyed on a daily basis by our residents.
