Something big is brewing behind the scenes at Spellman Care! 🤫

✨ We are currently working hard on two secret projects that we simply cannot wait to share with you. These initiatives are all about enhancing the wonderful lives of our residents and strengthening the connections that make our home so special. One project is dedicated to our amazing local community, while the other is specially crafted for our incredible colleagues who go above and beyond to support our residents every single day. 🌟

We are so proud of the vibrant atmosphere we have created across our homes, where every day is filled with joy, laughter, and companionship. 🏡❤️ These new plans are designed to take that experience to the next level, ensuring our residents continue to thrive in an environment that truly feels like a family. It is all part of our ongoing commitment to making Spellman Care a beacon of innovative, high-quality care on a national level.

Keep your eyes peeled and make sure you are following our new page! 👣 You certainly won't want to miss a thing on Thursday, 7th May, when we will be pulling back the curtain on our community-focused project, and we are going to need your help to make it a reality! We are so excited to involve you in this journey and see what we can achieve together! 🤝🚀

Taking your bra off at the end of the day feels great.

And so does getting your breast screening sorted. It can detect cancer before you can feel it. Or more likely, put your mind at rest.

So when you're invited, save the date. It could save your life.

Hi, I'm Ste, a Practice Nurse with over 20 years experience in the care sector and 15 years as a qualified nurse.

Throughout my career I have developed a deep passion for primary care, particularly in managing respiratory conditions and supporting contraceptive services.

I have continuously sought to improve my knowledge and skills by undertaking a variety of advanced causes to ensure and provide in the highest standard of care to my patients.

I am excited to continue growing professionally and to work collaboratively in enhancing your experiences here.

Fun fact: Before I started my nursing and care career, I was a professional dancer and worked on a very well known dance show for the BBC. 🪩💃

“I was booked for my annual flu and covid vaccinations and received a text shortly before to say I could arrive early if appropriate due to no queue. I arrived 20 minutes before my appointment and was quickly escorted through the waiting area and into the appointment room. The lady escorting was so friendly and made me feel really at ease. I was then met by two nurses who were fantastic! We had some giggles while going through all the necessary checks for the appointment. Less than 5 minutes and I was in and out with both vaccinations given. Brilliant!”
