Borough Care has appointed new home business managers for two of its homes; Nicholas Witan will be managing Meadway Court in Bramhall, while Aaron Flitcroft takes over responsibility for Wellcroft in Gatley.
In their new roles, Witan and Flitcroft will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of running the homes on a day to day basis. A key role will be ensuring residents are happy and their health needs are monitored. Their responsibilities will include mentoring staff, working with activity lifestyle facilitators to ensure an interesting and diverse activity programme is provided for residents and ensuring internal and external procedures are complied with.
Nicholas Witan has over 10 years of management experience in the care sector. Commenting on what attracted him to Borough Care, he says: “I liked Borough Care’s ethos of residents living their lives in colour and the belief that their interesting lives shouldn’t come to a standstill just because they have moved to a care home.
"As a positive and outgoing person myself, I believe everyone should be happy and able to maintain their independence, even if they are living in a care home. I’m looking forward to making sure everyone at Meadway Court continues to live a happy and fulfilled life.”
Aaron Flitcroft started his career as a care assistant and found caring for others is something he loves. He says: “I have a real passion for caring for older people, which has grown stronger and stronger as my career has progressed.
"I was aware of the positive changes happening at Borough Care and was keen to be involved. I’m excited to continue to make a positive difference to people’s lives and be part of a great team providing outstanding care for everyone living at Wellcroft.”
Witan, who lives in South East Manchester, joins Borough Care from United Response, which provides a range of support services for adults and young people with learning disabilities, mental health needs and physical disabilities. Flitcroft, from Stockport, previously worked for Ideal Care Homes, as deputy manager at the company’s Brinnington Hall home. Before that he worked for Finbrook Limited at Berrycroft Manor.
