Olivia Rumball
I have been in administration for 10 years and it gives me great pleasure to be part of a team that concentrates on person centred care. My role includes supporting residents and their families with any financial matters that may arise, this may be ordering a favourite newspaper or making sure a resident has their hair done and look extra special for a family event.
My team and I will be some of the first people you meet when you come into the home. We make a point of knowing all of the residents and their families and are look forward to welcoming you to Bayleaf.
