New Care has made a trio of senior appointments at Adel Manor Care Centre in Leeds, a 74-bed care facility offering respite, residential, dementia and 24-hour nursing care services. 

Marsha Tuffin has been appointed as home manager. She has more than 30 years’ experience in the health sector, starting work in residential care at 18 years old. She said: “Caring for the residents with dignity and respect is paramount to me at Adel Manor so I will lead through example, with the ultimate aim of all residents having a voice and living a fulfilling life. I hope that Adel Manor will become the care home of choice, renowned for providing excellent person-centred care.”

Keegan Hutchinson has been appointed as deputy manager. His responsibilities include fulfilling staff training, completing audits, monitoring the quality and effectiveness of procedures, as well as maintaining relationships with stakeholders, residents and their families.

Hutchinson previously worked in hospitals, community pharmacies, commissioning and mental health settings, and is planning to complete his NVQ Level 5 in leadership and management.

He said: “In my previous role I saw the amazing work the team at Adel Manor are doing and how the management team really appreciated and valued their staff. The ethos and values of New Care are demonstrated throughout Adel Manor, so being a part of that team now is very important to me.”

Matthew Bee becomes head of care, responsible and accountable for the management of all care in the home, ensuring timely provision and providing effective supervision, assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation. Bee started his care career as a care assistant. He said: “I only started working in the care sector in 2021 but instantly knew this was career for me.  I struggled to find an organisation with the same passion for the delivery of outstanding person-centred care, until I heard about Adel Manor.

“I want to excel in providing excellent care and New Care shares this very vision. They are invested in their team and the residents are very much at the centre of the business. Adel Manor is a superb care facility, and I’m delighted to be furthering my career at the luxury home.”

Dawn Collett, commissioning director at New Care, commented: “I am thrilled to welcome Marsha, Keegan and Matthew to New Care and am confident the trio will lead Adel Manor is an exceptional way with a professional and hands on approach.”
