The fast-growing care home operator, New Care, have appointed Lisa Forth as their new activities coordinator at its flagship care centre Grosvenor Manor on Health Lane in Chester.

In her new role, Lisa is responsible for delivering meaningful and purposeful activities for the residents at the Grosvenor Manor. Lisa has a huge variety of activities to choose from, from musicians, singers and entertainers, to physical, therapeutic and wellness activities, Lisa will ensure that the weekly programme is fun and engaging so it can provide every resident with a better quality of life, a sense of purpose and something to look forward to each day.

Before joining New Care, Lisa held a similar role at another local care centre where she managed activities and built up a strong and fun activity programme over a seven-year period.

What attracted Lisa to the post was New Care’s reputation for excellent care, she said:

“I had heard about New Care’s absolute focus on individual care and attention for each of its residents across all of its homes and its commitment to developing its employee team and am so proud to have joined such a forward thinking and caring business.

“I love working in care, especially with the elderly and aim to delight our residents each day with an exciting activity or excursion that gets them talking, engaging and socialising with each other and our team of carers.  We want to fill each day with smiles and laughter.”

Chief operating officer at New Care, Cath Fairhurst, commented: “Lisa is a valuable addition to our great team at Grosvenor Manor.  In the short time she has been with us, she has made a great impression on our residents and their families who are always delighted with her well planned programme of events, activities and days out.”

Lisa has enjoyed a long career in care and holds a collection of relevant qualifications such as Healthcare Diploma 2 and End of Life. She’s a proud wife, a mum of three and grandmother to four granddaughters.
