Talking about her appointment, Laura said:

“I want to make a difference in our residents’ lives when they come into the care home and support our staff to achieve this.

“Having been at Hampden House for over two decades, I know the home very well and my goal is to ensure it continues to provide a comfortable and dignified lifestyle for our wonderful residents.
