Shelbourne Senior Living is dedicated to providing the best possible quality in everything we do in terms of our residents, their friends and relatives, our team members and the wider community that we work with.

Our Values and Mission statement are more than words on paper - they are principles that each member of the Shelbourne residential care team are encouraged to practise everyday and are part of a genuine company ethos.

Importantly our collective expertise will ensure long term security for our residents and our team.

New Managers for The Shelbourne at Sway

TWO team members at a New Forest senior living community have been promoted over the Christmas period. Gina Markham and Maggie Tomlin, both experts in their own fields, are now Operations Managers at The Shelbourne at Sway, having worked there since before it opened.

Gina joined The Shelbourne in March 2008 as Assisted Living Registered Manager. Her responsibilities will still include overseeing care in 35 rooms within the main building and in 14 support cottages. She comes from a background in the care industry and has worked extensively with the elderly and those with learning difficulties and mental health problems.

Maggie continues to run Nostalgia Neighbourhood, The Shelbourne’s dedicated area for those with dementia, and has also been promoted. She has more than 20 years’ experience in the care industry, which includes experience in dementia care, physically frail, rehabilitation, caring for the terminally ill.

Gina said: "Both Maggie and I were at Shelbourne before it opened and recall walking through the building with our hard hats on. It is hard to believe that we are now approaching our two year mark, having supported one another along the way."

Maggie added: "We both have a great sense of humour and have quickly adapted to our new roles - it's a big bonus for a senior living community to have Operations Managers who get directly involved in care. Both of us look forward to working closely with the O’Flynn group, which owns Shelbourne Senior Living."
