Alex Ellwood joins Westgate Healthcare as the Commissioning Home Manager for our brand-new 75-bed luxury care home in the heart of Borehamwood: Meadowhill Care Home. With 15 years of experience in the care sector, she has held roles including Deputy Home Manager, Acting Home Manager, and Commissioning Manager for luxury care providers. This extensive experience has equipped her with a deep understanding of how to achieve the highest quality standards, always placing residents at the centre of every decision. She also appreciates the significant responsibilities that come with her position. “I always aim to influence a positive culture and create a happy work environment,” Alex says.
Alex’s journey into the health and social care sector began after earning a First-Class Honours degree in Art and Design from Loughborough University. Her career took a new direction when she cared for her grandfather, igniting a passion for the care profession.
Her passion, dedication, and determination stem from a belief that everyone should be treated as they would want their own family members to be treated. As a Commissioning Home Manager for Meadowhill Care Home, Alex will be involved in every aspect of the luxury home’s development. She will oversee the overall safety and quality of care, ensuring a positive, person-centred approach and strict adherence to regulatory standards. Alex remarks, “Westgate Healthcare believes in providing exceptional, award-winning care, and our values align perfectly.”
She adds, “Supporting others is my greatest joy, and my proudest achievement is being able to look back on my career and take pride in the individuals I have helped. I believe it’s not the days in our lifetime that matter, but the lives we touch each day that are most important.”
Daniel Scott-Elder, Operations Director, comments: “I am thrilled to welcome Alex to the Westgate Healthcare team. It was crucial to select someone who not only has a deep passion for delivering the highest quality care to our residents but also possesses the meticulous attention to detail needed to ensure our new care home is fully prepared to warmly welcome residents into their new luxury home.”
