Head of Care Pathways is a funny title, but it\u2019s the best description we have for my role. I help create new care services with our health and social care commissioners and then enable local people to access them.<\/p>\n
A work day can be very varied, from meetings with GP\u2019s or partners from local health charities or hospitals, through to design sessions with our website developers or writing our Resident Handbooks.<\/p>\n
One of my greatest joys at work is spending time with our residents with Brabham, our family pet who is also Ardale\u2019s qualified PAT Dog (Pets As Therapy). Brabham can have a magical effect with certain individuals, particularly those living with dementia, where he is a conduit to conversations you couldn\u2019t have without his presence, as he reignites memoires of their own past pets.<\/p>\n
Although having not always worked in the care sector, for the last 12 years I have worked within the NHS and the Charity Sector, mostly focused on services for older people and for those living with dementia.<\/p>\n

Robert the person Well, where do I start?<\/p>\n Born a farmers boy that didn\u2019t like mud, I know enough about farming not to do it!<\/p>\n I have mostly lived in the East Midlands area, with schooling around the Melton Mowbray area. Home life is very busy, mostly due to having children every 17 years (the backstory will have to wait until my autobiography). I\u2019m married to the beautiful Claire (an SEN Teacher), I have two children \u2018the boy\u2019 Josh, the very big brother (he\u2019s 6ft 3) to the mighty Darcey, his much smaller sister.<\/p>\n I have a passion for all things on 4 wheels (with my current \u2018toy\u2019 being a 1953 series one Land Rover) and all forms of motorsport. Having said all that, my home life is mostly centered on a single \u2018horsepower\u2019, as I am my daughters \u2018pony poo picking\u2019 groom.<\/p>\n Which strangely enough, brings my life full circle to the mud I don\u2019t like!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ardale.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/darcy-pony.jpg” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.22.6″ animation_style=”fade”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22.3″ custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ custom_padding=”0|0px|0|0px|false|false” make_equal=”on” background_color_1=”#ececec” padding_top_bottom_link_1=”true” padding_left_right_link_1=”true” padding_top_1=”5%” padding_top_2=”5%” padding_right_1=”8%” padding_right_2=”5%” padding_bottom_1=”5%” padding_bottom_2=”5%” padding_left_1=”8%” padding_left_2=”8%” module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”3.22.3″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”100%” max_width_tablet=”100%” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” make_fullwidth=”on”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.19.18″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ardale.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Asset-1@2x.png” align=”center” _builder_version=”3.19.18″ max_width=”16%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||30px”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.18″ text_font=”||||||||” text_orientation=”center”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.18″ text_font=”||||||||” text_orientation=”center”]<\/p>\n Ardale will provide nursing care and support underpinned by an ethos of; \u2018Promoting independence while maintaining friendships and interests\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.19.18″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ardale.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/24-hours-orange.png” align=”center” _builder_version=”3.19.18″ max_width=”16%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||30px”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.18″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#ef6100″ text_orientation=”center”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.18″ text_font=”||||||||” text_orientation=”center”]<\/p>\n Ardale will deliver care and support that is meaningful to each individual; with warmth and personality, by a well-trained care team, as only a family owned home can.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About Ardale” _builder_version=”3.19.18″ background_color=”#b30e80″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”#b30e80″ background_color_gradient_end=”#810e80″ background_color_gradient_direction=”90deg” background_image=”https:\/\/ardale.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/bg-teal.jpg” custom_padding=”54px|0px|6px|0px|false|false” global_module=”180″ saved_tabs=”all”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.22.3″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.19.18″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.18″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.18″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center”]<\/p>\n
