As a family run company, Stocks Hall is all about people. Our residents, staff and management team are all part of the same caring community. Whilst we can’t show everyone who makes such a valuable contribution to the running of Stocks Hall, we’d like you to meet some of the dedicated and experienced personnel whose passion helps that community thrive…
Stocks Hall Care Homes began trading in November 1987 and Sue has been employed by the company from the start. The care sector was a new experience for her, but throughout the last 20+ years she has gained a vast knowledge. She is extremely passionate about the care we provide and believes that the only way quality care can be achieved is by looking after the staff, and through continually developing & training employees at all levels.
For the past 10 years she has been a panel member for ‘Investors in People’ and since 2004 a panel member for ‘Work Life Balance’ with the Centre of Assessment. She is also the Chairman of the Lancashire Care Associate who are striving, in partnership with Lancashire County Council, to provide the people in Lancashire with the care and support they need.
Sam has worked within the Care sector since being a young girl and has always been passionate about Quality of Care for All.
Initially coming to work for Stocks Hall in 1999, Sam managed the Homecare and Agency Services for just over 3 years. Following this, she worked in management positions within the Probation Service, Mental Health Team and Social Services.
In 2011 Sam returned to Stocks Hall to head up the Butterfly Project. This project centres on providing truly person centred care for people living within Stocks Hall.
Progressing on through the company, Sam is now in her current role of Operational Manager within The Stocks Hall Nursing & Care Group.
Kristy joined Stocks Hall on October 18, 2016, starting as a nurse on the Coppice/Wicker unit before becoming deputy manager for seven years and now serving as Care Home Manager. With over 25 years of nursing experience, Kristy began her career as a Theatre Nurse after qualifying in 1995 from Sefton School of Health Studies & Edge Hill.
Her journey into social care began with night shifts in a care home, but Stocks Hall became her true calling. Initially a germaphobe, she learned to embrace the tactile nature of care, discovering the importance of emotional connections. Over her eight years at Stocks Hall, Kristy has received extensive training and feels she’s grown more here than during her formal education.
As a manager, Kristy focuses on empowering her staff, fostering growth and potential within her team. Her approachable demeanour helps create a positive atmosphere that benefits residents and families alike. Known for her hands-on involvement in all aspects of home life—including fundraising events—Kristy embodies the spirit of community.
Looking ahead, she remains dedicated to continuous improvement. “This is our home, and we want it to be the best it can be — outstanding,” she says. Under Kristy’s leadership, Stocks Hall is a vibrant, ‘mad’ family where every member is valued.
