Care home magazine interviews Dormy CEO on next generation of care homes
Date of news/blog: 14th January 2020Dormy Care’s very own CEO, Helen Davies-Parsons, was recently interviewed by Care Home Professional magazine about her vision for the next generation of luxury care homes.
Discussing everything from where Dormy started to how it has grown and all of the well thought-through design, interior and care facilities in the homes, Helen explains why Dormy Care represents the future of care for our older people.
Having trained as a nurse in the 1980s, Helen worked in various senior roles in the independent care sector before forming Dormy in 2015. It is this first-hand experience which has shaped her vision for what exceptional care should look like and why she has such a large role in the planning, design and ongoing management of the homes.
In the interview Helen says:
“We are very much a family. We are very small but that means I get out to the homes and my two regional team members also get out. Everybody knows me by name. If they have a problem anyone can call me. The family feel is evident throughout and that’s how I want it to stay. We can think big but behave small.”
