Help finding care homes in the Midlands

Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire

Lynn Hodson

“I provide a caring and compassionate approach to each family I work with. I find being an adviser most rewarding, being able to help families at such difficult and stressed times and we are fortunate to meet such lovely people.”

Esther Paul

“Listening carefully to the needs of the families acting on behalf of their loved ones is very important. It is nice to hear a client say, ‘thank you’ and I look forward to many more years of helping countless clients through their testing times.”

Jane Willis

“As an adviser, I am there for each family every step of the way, from our initial conversation, accompanying families to view homes and liaising until the move takes place and I am extremely proud to have been able to help so many families.”

Hereford and Worcester, Gloucestershire and Shropshire

Yvonne Charlton

“Being an adviser is very rewarding: helping and advising families and friends through what can be a difficult time, and finding the right home for their loved one, being there for them each step of the way.”

Hayley Hillsdon

“My rewards come from seeing the relief for families when we are successful and hearing back that they are happy and contented with their choice. This is more than just a job, it is a vocation and I love it!”

Etain O'Shea

“I often have families coming back to me if, for example, they need to move their relative from residential to nursing care. It is nice knowing every morning when you get up that you want to go to work and your work really makes a difference in people’s lives.”

Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Rutland

Shirley Challis

“I am passionate about the care and quality of life our elderly citizens deserve and it's great to be in a position where I can assist families through the ‘care minefield.’”

Pam Laurenti

“I am fully aware of the anxiety caused by the responsibility of placing a loved one in care. Most people only deal with this situation once in a life time, and this difficult time can be greatly eased by the support and help of an experienced adviser.”

Dilys Mallett

“I get great satisfaction from assisting families through their own journey, even if it is only for a short while that our paths cross, I feel that I am giving something back and doing a valuable job.”

Glenis Maskery

“Both the incentive and the reward in this field of work is what I would term as ‘picking up the pieces’ of all kinds of emotional and sensitive circumstances, working together throughout (often with a little laughter and a few tears) with the client or family, to a positive conclusion.”

West Midlands, Staffordshire and Warwickshire

Jane Alderson

“It is so rewarding in speaking to the families we help and reading their questionnaires to realise what a difference we make to the process.”

Pip Coley

“I have recently been through the home finding process myself, finding a lovely home for my 93-year-old father. My experiences with Carehome Selection have enabled me to find a suitable home where he is very settled and happy.”

Jacqui Perks

“With my background in nursing and in running a care home, I can guide people regarding the differences between homes and ensure people find a home which matches their needs and the family’s wishes. It’s more than simply a job – I love being an adviser and it’s a very important part of my life.”

Val Nicholas

“Carehome Selection ensures that we, as advisers, are thoroughly trained so that we have the necessary expertise to be able to offer the guidance and support that families need at such a difficult time.”

Amanda Runham

“For most families, knowing that they have someone to support them and help take the burden results in them feeling relieved even after the initial telephone call.”

Tony Wintrip

“Having gone through the process with a member of my own family, I know only too well how the prospect of moving into a care home can affect the individual and family members.”
