MHA Brockworth House in Gloucester has appointed a new home manager.

Lyndsey Dixon, who has more than 10 years’ experience of managing a nursing home, aims to use her knowledge and experience to bring stability and a sense of community to MHA Brockworth House.

Previously she has worked as an oncology nurse, studied for a degree in palliative care and is currently studying for a Master’s degree in advanced clinical practice.

MHA Brockworth House provides nursing dementia care for 52 people.

Dixon said she was keen to raise the profile of the home and “make a mark” in the community.

“The values of MHA are similar to my personality, so I felt working for a charity was the right option for me,” she said. “I have joined MHA Brockworth House to make a difference, I want to be here for a long time and hope to work with and be part of the community.”
