When my husband deteriorated after being diagnosed with dementia, I was exhausted and devastated that he would have to go into a home. I liked what I saw at Aspen Grange. The staff are lovely and would do anything for him. Margaret Cornwell, resident's wife

Rhoda Potts-Casey, Care Services Manager
Rhoda joined Aspen Grange in Braintree in January 2011 as the Care Services Manager. She supports the care home manager in the day-to-day running of the home. Rhoda is responsible for ensuring all staff receive training to assist them in their roles. She is certain that as a mental health nurse it was important to also have good clinical skills, which she feels she has gained through her years of experience and continued training and development.
