In short, Bluebell is your loved one’s new family home on the Southsea beach.
From the manager
“Hi, I am Stacey Parkhill! I have worked in the Care sector since 2004, and have worked for Bluebell since 2007. I started as a care assistant completing my level 3 in Health and Social Care and progressing to senior carer. In 2018 I achieved my level 5 in Leadership for Health and Social Care, and taking on a role as Training Officer more recently, where I gained more experience. I am delighted at the opportunity of a managerial role, and with my extensive knowledge of Bluebell and our residents I continue to be an asset to our team. My vision for Bluebell is continue to provide a high standard of care for all our residents and to facilitate training opportunities for our compassionate and incredibly committed carers and staff.”
