Grangemoor Care Homes Limited is a care home business founded in 1986 by Rolph Jennings and John Derry. Both founders had worked as psychiatric nurses in the Health Service for 20 years before starting the business. Their vision was to create a safe environment where residents receive high-quality care and support, including proper nutrition and other essential needs.
Chris Homer, a qualified Registered Mental Health Nurse, joined GMCH in 2002 as a staff nurse. Chris' dedication and skills were quickly recognised, and within three years, he ascended to the role of manager. He successfully managed Marmion for many years until His promotion to the prestigious position of Care Director, a testament to GMCH's commitment to fostering talent.
Dave Lunn, a seasoned professional, joined GMCH after serving as an Operational Lead and Team Manager for a specialist commissioned healthcare service. His guiding principle has always been a fit-for-purpose approach to everything he assesses. Dave firmly believes in the importance of respecting each resident as an individual and enabling them to express their desired outcomes, a value that aligns perfectly with GMCH's mission.
A retired mathematics teacher, Carol Bradbury has worked for Grangemoor Care Homes for over seven years. Her part-time role covers administrative duties, including bookkeeping, invoicing, and payroll.
Today, GMCH is still committed to providing high-quality care and support to its residents. The team encourages continuous professional development and recognises the changes and expectations of today's society.
