Short Biography

Hi, I’m Shirley.

I’ve been part of the Hollymount family since 2018, starting out as a care assistant before stepping into the role of Activities Coordinator in 2022. My background is quite varied, and I think that helps me bring a lot to my work here.

I just love my role here at Hollymount and I find it very rewarding. Activities are a vital part of the home and essential to the well-being of all our residents.

Supporting residents to stay engaged, active and uplifted is a really important part of life at Hollymount. No two days are the same, and that’s what makes it so special.

The residents are full of personality, character and have amazing stories to tell. It’s a joy to spend time with them, and I’ve made many friends along the way. Seeing their smiles, hearing their laughter, and being part of their meaningful moments is what makes this role so rewarding.
