At Heathlands Care Home, our friendly and skilled team is dedicated to providing personalised care with compassion and respect. We work closely with residents and families to create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and at home.
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.
I have been working in care since 2021 and have built a strong background in reception, hospitality and activities. I am passionate about creating welcoming environments and meaningful experiences for residents.
I joined Heathlands as a Nurse Team Leader in April 2024, bringing nearly three decades of nursing experience to the role. Since qualifying as a nurse in 1996, I have built a diverse career that includes 15 years working in Accident & Emergency departments in Bulgaria, followed by extensive experience in nursing homes where I have served as Unit Manager, Clinical Manager, and Deputy Manager.
With 11 years of nursing experience across care homes and hospitals, I joined Heathlands in October 2025. What I value most about working here is the team’s collaborative spirit and the mutual support we provide one another.
I have over 28 years of experience working across a variety of settings, bringing a wide range of practical knowledge and skills to the role. I joined Heathlands in August 2025 and play a vital part in ensuring the home is safe, well-maintained and comfortable for residents, staff and visitors.
