Meet Our Home Manager

Monica Dragu

My journey in care began in 2009, when I started working as a Care Assistant at Runwood Homes – Alexandra House. In February 2010, I proudly achieved my registration as a qualified Registered General Nurse and continued to work at Alexandra House until 2012.

 

Since then, my career has taken me on a rewarding path into management, where I’ve held a variety of leadership roles within the care sector. Wanting to continue developing my skills and leadership abilities, I completed a Level 5 Diploma in Business Management and the My Home Life programme, alongside several other management trainings that have helped shape the way I lead and support my teams.

 

In 2025, I was delighted to return to Runwood Homes – Alexandra House as a Registered Manager. It feels like coming home to where my passion for care first began, and I’m committed to making a difference by maintaining the high standards and quality of care that inspired me at the very start of my journey.
