We take pride in providing a valued service and with help and support from our professional partners, we have improved, our systems, processes and governance in order to ensure we build and maintain professional and caring service to our residents at the Home and be responsible and accountable for all the actions and activities that we provide.

We fully understand what a difficult decision one has to make to consider residential care. Sometimes, there is no other alternative due to medical and personal circumstances of the individual. A whole host of worries and emotions can arise.

We genuinely believe that Glenkindie Lodge radiates a friendly 'Home from Home' environment with a community feel. As with anything in life, the Home too had some challenges in the past, we have learnt from them and under the New Management, we have made great strides and continue to make substantial improvements by working closely with our industry leading Professional Partners to continually improve and maintain high standards.

I am Wendy Fox and have been working at Glenkindie Lodge since 2013. I have come through the ranks of being an Activity Coordinator, Carer, Senior Carer, Head of Care and now the Registered Manager. 

I have taken on the responsibility as the Home Manager since October 2021. As with many services within the Health and Social Care sector,  we faced an unprecedented pandemic situation.

 My strategy had to be adapted to deal with the emergency situation and with our dedicated team 'our family' we rallied round and dealt with the situation as practically possible to ensure we protect and safeguard everyone at Glenkindie Lodge.  

Having successfully completed the Level 5 NVQ on Health & Social Care. I am committed and dedicated to continue to improve and provide the best care possible for our residents at Glenkindie Lodge.

I am Michelle Timmins and I joined the Glenkindie 'family' recently. I am already loving my role and the working environment. My role is to ensure administration, processes, governance and compliance are met by working closely with the Home Manager and the Deputy Home Manager.

I also play an integral part of linking with the onsite team and the Human Resource Team, Accounts Team, and liaising and collaborating with the Provider and Nominated Individual, Eranga Gunawardena in order to ensure we meet the Company's ethos and vision.
