Mrs Carole McNamara

Providing care at Glendale Lodge for over 20 years

As your Home Manager, it is both an honour and a privilege to lead our home with care, compassion, and a focus on creating a warm, nurturing environment for everyone.

My mission goes far beyond managing the day-to-day operations. It’s about fostering a sense of belonging, where each resident feels valued, respected, and genuinely cared for.

I aim to cultivate a family-like atmosphere, where connections flourish, and every individual’s unique story and contributions are cherished.

I believe that the true essence of our home is found in the laughter, shared moments, and meaningful interactions that brighten our days.

My commitment is to ensure that every day is an opportunity for joy, enrichment, and the highest quality of care.

Together, we can make this a place of comfort, companionship, and wonderful memories.

Your thoughts, ideas, and involvement are not just appreciated – they are the foundation of our vibrant community.

Here’s to many special moments and experiences ahead as we continue to make our home truly extraordinary!
