Meet the Manager

Abbeycrest Home Manager Sue Smart

Sue is our Home Manager at Abbeycrest, here’s a little bit more about herself and the home in her own words:

“As Home Manager I believe that our residents should receive the very best bespoke care and support they require to meet their needs, whilst making each day memorable.

I have been blessed to have a very successful career working in the health and social care sector with over 30 years of experience. I trained as a nurse in Hertfordshire and have maintained my registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, after qualifying I worked in A&E before stepping into the community in 2003 where I managed domiciliary care including complex care as clinical lead and then into care home management.

It is important to me that my team feel valued and supported in their roles, as well as having the opportunity to develop so that our home can thrive and be a happy and beautiful home for everyone.

At Abbeycrest, we are one big family and everything we do is from the heart, treating the people living in our community as individuals understanding their choices, wishes and dreams for no other reason than to make a difference every day.”

Tamena Seymour

Home Coordinator

I love showing people around the home and arranging various visits for the residents. As the ‘face of the home’ my role is very important and knowing that I can help them through their care home journey makes me happy.

Rina Karki

Wellbeing Coordinator

Being a Wellbeing Coordinator gives me a sense of pride and joy that most people don’t experience in their day jobs. I laugh, dance, sing, and cry with them, all of this brings joy to my life, and it’s extremely rewarding.

Michael Kenny

Regional Sales Support Manager

I’m committed to providing support and guidance to those looking for care for a loved one, helping them to understand their options, guiding them on how to fund the costs and helping them to make sense of the whole process.
