Meet Your care home team
Hello, I’m Tricia
With over 20 years in care, my journey began as a carer and progressed through the ranks to management. I joined the company in 2013 and feel privileged to manage Headwell House Nursing Home. What I love most is the people, the diverse residents and dedicated team who make every day different. I’m passionate about helping residents live their best lives and supporting my team to grow and achieve their goals. Outside work, I cherish time with my grandchildren and enjoy being creative.

Hello, I’m Monika
My name is Monika, and I qualified as a Registered Nurse in Hungary in 1987. I moved to Scotland in 2008, where I continued my career in nursing homes and later spent 10 years with Newcross Healthcare. I joined Headwell House two years ago as a Clinical Leader Nurse, and I remain passionate about supporting and leading our nursing and care teams to deliver safe, compassionate, and high-quality care. Outside of work, I enjoy keeping fit at the gym, spending time in nature, and travelling and enjoying holidays with my husband.

FAQs
What isn’t included in the weekly fee?
Our weekly fees cover accommodation, meals and snacks, laundry, personal and nursing care, and our activities programme. A few personal extras are charged separately, such as hairdressing, chiropody, toiletries, newspapers and magazines, clothing, and personal outings or escorts to appointments. Each home can give you a full list, so there are no surprises.
Can I arrange respite while exploring longer-term options?
Yes, a respite stay can be a good way to get support quickly while you weigh up longer-term care. Contact your preferred home to discuss availability.
Are staff fully trained?
Training is at the heart of our care. Abbotsford has its own SQA-accredited Assessment Centre, through which our team can gain SVQ qualifications in Social Services and Healthcare, right up to SVQ 4 in Care Services Leadership and Management. So the people caring for your loved one are supported to keep learning and developing throughout their careers.
