Gigi Despojo

General Manager

Welcome to Cherry Blossom Manor's website; my name is Jeranie 'Gigi' Despojo and I am the General Manager here. I hope you find everything you're looking for!

I have been a General Registered Nurse for over 25 years now. I was a Community Health Nurse for a long time and also had a few good years of working in a nursing classroom as a Clinical Instructor.

I also worked as a Deputy Manager, eventually working my way up to the role of General Manager for a residential, nursing and nursing dementia care home. It was 3 years of making great differences to the lives of residents and their loved ones. 

Personally, nothing is good or outstanding if you don’t make a difference in the lives of people you work for and with.

I always try to add value in people; helping others to succeed is more rewarding than my own success.

Good success is when you value people, find ways and opportunities to make their lives a little bit better and then keep that balance with your own family.
