Meet Our Home Manager
Karolyn Sisto
After 15 years in the police force, I transitioned to health and social care in 2011, starting as a carer at Eastham. I progressed to care team leader, then gained valuable experience as a deputy manager at another Runwood Home for three years before returning to Eastham as home manager in 2024. Now, as both a registered home manager and a qualified, registered social worker, I feel equipped to make a real difference in people’s lives. Every step of this journey has taught me something new about compassion, leadership, and the importance of quality care.
