One of our key strengths is that we are a small organisation, we are only registered for seven and therefore we are able to provide a highly individualised service. We aim to recreate the comfort and ambience that you would expect in your own home and in order to do this we always listen to our residents, the resident's families and staff about how we can improve. Yew Tree Cottage is owned and run by Graham and Sarah Ambridge with a little help from their resident Patterdale Terrier, Cracker-Jack and two budgies. We have been here since September 2007 and have worked hard to transform the Home into the only 3 star CQC rated home in the area. Sarah has been in the care industry for many years, previously managing homes and troubleshooting in homes that fall short of the standards required. She is a qualified nurse with many years experience. She has achieved her Registered Manager Award and was a finalist in the National Social Care Awards 2007 for ‘Outstanding Manager of the Year Award’ she also has many additional qualifications within the field of elderly care, dementia, health and nutrition, holistic medicine and pharmacology. She is also a registered teacher and assessor in clinical practice.
