Horse Fair Care Home in Rugeley is a well-established community of elderly residents from across Staffordshire. We offer residential care and respite care for those seeking support, as well as a dedicated suite in which we offer the highest quality dementia care in Rugeley. Couples and companions are warmly welcomed in our home where their well-being, comfort, and happiness are our top priority.
Our location in the centre of the town means that local amenities are close by and our connection with local volunteer groups assures a respected place within the Rugeley community.
We make a point of celebrating the lives of our residents who all have a stake in the direction of life within our care home. Families and friends are encouraged to give us their views too and, more formally, can join one of our committees. It is by concentrating on the residents in a holistic way that we get the best out of them and offer the best residential, dementia and respite care in Rugeley.
We are minds as well as bodies, and to that end we have an energetic recreation and leisure team who devise a wide programme of activities and social engagements for residents and families.
Bedrooms are of generous proportions, come with en-suite, walk-in showers and flat-screen TVs. Our housekeepers keep the rooms in beautiful order and will always make sure that any personal ornaments and keepsakes are carefully dusted!
Our Butterfly Café is just one of the spots where residents enjoy the companionship of others over a cup of tea. There are a good variety of lounges to choose from too, some where clubs and societies meet, and others where you can just be quiet and enjoy a daily newspaper or magazine.
To see what we get up to at Horse Fair head over to our dedicated Facebook page. Here we share updates on all the activities and goings on in our Rugeley care home. You are also welcome to call our friendly care team if you have any questions or would like to arrange to come in and get to know us.
Our full-time Activity Coordinators ensure that residents can enjoy their days to the full. We are lucky in that we have a grand piano, and there is nothing we like better than having a good old singsong.
Want to know what else we get up to at Horse Fair Care Home in Rugeley?
Residents are free to come and go as they please and the town centre is only a few minutes’ walk away from our Rugeley care home. But we also love organising trips out in the minibus, taking our residents on excursions further afield across Staffordshire.
In the warmer months, residents make great use of the outside patio area, which is completely enclosed for privacy, a perfect place for outdoor exercise, or just a nice cup of tea. This area includes a brand-new sensory garden, designed to provide a variety of sensory stimuli with its aromatic plants.
Popular among our activities are the reminiscence sessions in which residents look back over the years and discuss major historical events both on a local and international scale. They very much enjoy remembering where they were at key times, and we often find friendships forming and strengthening over shared memories during these sessions. This is very popular with our residents who live with dementia, and it’s just one of the reasons we believe we offer some of the best dementia care in Rugeley.
We know how important it is for our residents to keep in touch with family and friends, that’s why we provide free Wi-Fi throughout the home. Computers are available for Skype, email, or just browsing. Don’t forget to visit our Facebook pages!
With over 30 years in the care sector, I’m proud to lead the team at Horse Fair Care Home. My journey from Care Assistant to Home Manager spans various settings, including residential, nursing, dementia, and young physical disability care. I’m passionate about delivering person-centred, dignified care in a safe, welcoming environment. I hold the Registered Manager’s Award and am trained in Dementia Care, Health & Safety, COSHH, and Medication Administration.
With a strong understanding of care regulations and best practice, I work closely with residents, families, and local professionals to build trust and ensure the highest standards are always met.
Enriching lives, empowering staff – this is the ethos I bring to Horse Fair, where excellent care and strong leadership go hand in hand to create a home where people thrive.
I am passionate about creating a home where every resident feels safe, valued, and part of a supportive community. With over 10 years’ experience in health and social care—including residential, nursing, and community settings—I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to my role.
My background includes roles as Deputy Manager, Team Leader, Unit Manager, and Learning & Development Trainer, giving me both hands-on care experience and strong leadership skills. I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care (Distinction), reflecting my commitment to high-quality, person-centred care.
At Horse Fair Care Home, I work closely with residents, families, and staff to ensure compassionate, tailored support for every individual.
With over 20 years of experience in the care sector, I have a strong understanding of both direct care and leadership. My career began in hands-on roles before progressing into leadership positions that strengthened my skills in service planning, coordination, and quality assurance. I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care and a Level 3 in Business and Administration.
I joined Horse Fair Care Home in 2024, conducting pre-assessments and supporting residents and families with compassion as their loved ones transition into our care. I also work closely with the local community, leading engagement initiatives and events to build meaningful connections that enrich life within the home.
I believe in creating a supportive environment where every resident feels valued, every family feels reassured, and our community feels welcomed and involved.
