Meet the Team

Adam is one of our Senior Care Assistants. Adam works in care because he believes that everybody deserves to live a happy and dignified life in the way they see fit even if they need help to achieve it. “Regarding my work, I am passionate about person-centred care which I believe is the most important segment of our numerous duties. If the passionate section is more about my personal life, I am most passionate about educating people in my own way about the importance of history and human nature through the lens of history.

As a hobby I do like a good long drive, it enables me to think clearly. I also like to lose myself in fantasy or sci-fi worlds while reading or watching movies”.

Alison started working at The Fleet 2 years and 5 months ago, has been working in care since 2005 and hasn’t looked back. “I think it’s a pleasure to give back to the residents I care for, our residents are lovely and make each day worthwhile. I horse ride on my days off and I like to drive. I care for my mum and my daughter whose disabled with arthritis, sometimes it’s hard but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I work with some of the best people and it always feels like a family.”
