Welcome to Upper Mead, our warm and welcoming home-from-home in the historic village of Henfield. Set in a quiet spot at the heart of the community, we’re known for exceptional care and a team that always goes the extra mile to help residents live life to the fullest.
I joined the care profession while raising my children and found my calling in dementia care here in 1996. After years of supporting others and leading our dementia unit, I became home manager in 2013. With over 25 years at Upper Mead, a Level 5 Diploma, and two outstanding awards, I’m proud to lead a team that truly cares.
Together, we support our residents with the same kindness and dedication we’d give our own families.
