Meet Our Home Manager

Cheryl Wright

I’ve worked in the care sector for 28 years and have been part of the Runwood Homes family since 2009, supporting people living with dementia and in residential care with dignity, respect, and compassion.

I’ve progressed from Domestic and Carer to Care Team Leader, Deputy Manager, and now Home Manager, giving me a deep understanding of all aspects of care home operations.

My passion is to lead, motivate, and develop teams to deliver outstanding standards of care, achieving excellent outcomes for residents, families, and our care team.

At our home, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and person-centred environment where residents can live with comfort, purpose, and joy.
