Snowdrop House in Ware delivers a full range of care services for older people, including residential, dementia and nursing care on a permanent or respite basis. The purpose-built home combines high-quality, personalised care with a luxurious lifestyle.

The home is spacious and light, with its own hair and beauty salon, café and cinema room. Each bedroom is individually styled with its own en-suite facilities. Many rooms also open directly onto the lovely gardens.

The dedicated team supports residents to continue enjoying a range of daily group and one-to-one activities, all tailored to their interests. If they wish, residents can also keep busy with light tasks around the home, from laying the table for lunch or helping in the gardens.

From the manager

“I have been working in the care sector for 20 years qualifying in Cambridge and specialising in respiratory and end of life care. In my career so far I have undertaken a wide variety of roles all over the country including care case manager for the East of England. I have also worked for the prison service, a wide range of hospitals and care homes, and people with challenging behaviour. I started work with Care UK in September 2014 and I believe to be an effective team member you need to have a positive attitude, be caring, respectful and approachable, and have a good sense of humour! My favourite part of the working day is motivating the staff to ensure the residents are their main focus of the day, creating memorable moments, laughter and joy. My biggest professional challenge so far has been saving a person's life and then continue to watch them grow and flourish. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, spa days and have a huge interest in guide dogs and caring for animals.”
