Steve Swift, Care Home Manager
I have worked in the Care Sector for 27 years, including helping set up and run a care agency for about eight and a half years.
I’d always wanted to work in the Care Industry as I had, and still do have, an inbuilt need to be able to have a positive impact on somebody’s daily life, it’s one of the most rewarding elements of my role.
At The Lawn, we have a caring, kind, and devoted Care Team who are all dedicated to delivering individual, bespoke and great care to each resident and respite guest – I really couldn’t ask for a better team.
No two days are the same, but each day is totally fulfilling. I really enjoy making the residents smile and listening to their life experiences. My motivation is to support the older people we care for and show them the respect, compassion and empathy that they deserve.
Being able to support older people, having a positive impact on their day, offering reassurance so they know that I’m listening and will do everything within my power to help them, is at the heart of what I love and am committed to doing every day.
