My name is Paul O’Grady. I am currently the Registered Manager of Eversleigh Nursing Home. I have been with Central England Healthcare for 12 years. Previous to joining Eversleigh Nursing Home, I have been a Home Manager in several homes since 1999.
As a registered nurse, my priority is high stands of care for everyone who lives within the home. To ensure this occurs I lead my dedicated team in a supportive and motivation manner.

The management team is supported by an Office Manager and an Accounts Manager. The Manager can be contacted by emailing office@eversleighnursinghome.co.uk.
Care Team
We have a team of highly qualified, experienced and compassionate nursing staff, care team leaders, and care assistants. Our staff are chosen for their caring attitudes and compassion and they go the ‘extra mile’ for their residents. Residents’ and relatives’ feedback repeatedly praise staff for their passion and commitment to their residents. All care staff are required to complete the Care Certificate as a minimum standard. The Care Certificate is an agreed set of a minimum of 15 standards that sets out the knowledge, skills and behaviours expected of the role of a Carer.
The care team is highly trained and qualified to provide end of life care. The Home is very proud to have been accredited with the National Gold Standards Framework which is a national training standard for delivering end of life care. The National Gold Standards Framework accreditation is reviewed every 3 years. Eversleigh has held the accreditation for 10 years with Commend Status.
Hospitality Services
We have a team of 4 staff in the catering department led by the Head Chef. The Head Housekeeper manages a team of housekeepers and laundry staff. We have a full-time Maintenance Manager. All staff ensure high standards of service are provided to our residents at all times. We have a full-time activities coordinator who organises activities in line with the requirements of the residents.
Supervision
Staff are regularly supervised on duty and we provide good staffing levels to ensure our high standards of care are maintained. Each member of staff has a regular formal meeting with a manager to review their performance and to consider any ideas they have. All staff receive an annual appraisal with the Home Manager. The home has been accredited with Investors in People status which is a national standard measuring the quality of supervision and management of staff. The Investors in People accreditation is reviewed every three years to ensure the home is compliant with the IIP Standard.
Training
We provide regular training to maintain and improve standards, and to ensure staff skills and knowledge are kept up-to-date. New staff complete a comprehensive induction course. The majority of the training is delivered by our Training Manager and external training is provided where needed. The nurses attend regular clinical updates.
