Dawn Holsgrove-Smith

General Manager

Welcome to Cheshire Grange Care Home; my name is Dawn and I am the General Manager here.

I have been working within the care sector for the past 15 years, I started my career as a support worker supporting adults with learning disabilities, and later I was promoted to team coordinator, after that I was promoted to Head of service managing 3 services. Due to my own personal circumstances I developed a real interest and passion for improving dementia care, this led to my transition into older peoples care first as a deputy manager, and then finally as a registered manager.

I then went on to become a qualified person centred dementia care trainer and was fortunate enough to be trained by Teepa Snow, who is one of the leading educators on dementia and the care that accompanies it.  

Throughout my 15 years’ experience that spanned across different providers, I have acquired tremendous knowledge and understanding of the care sector, and I have gained valuable insight into both the challenges and the rewards of delivering high standards of quality and person centred care.     

As the General Manger my aim is to ensure that my team continue to deliver a high standard of person centred care to our residents, placing them at the heart of everything we do.  I believe in an open door policy with everyone here at our home. Do feel free to pop in and meet our wonderful team and ask any questions that you may have, we are all more than happy to help.
