Our Care Home Manager, Vanessa, has been with the business for over 18 years, so she knows the home inside out.
She has built strong, long-lasting, trusted relationships with her team, which enables her to run the home effectively and efficiently. Some of our carers have been with the home 18 yrs, which is very unusual and highly valued within the sector.
Adamscourt is part of Vauxian Care Homes. This means that Vanessa also has access to a Regional Manager, Beverly Harris. Beverly has been in the care home sector for over 30 years and holds a wealth of experience and knowledge. She also helps share best practice between Admascourt and our sister care home, Osborne Lodge.
Beverly also sits on the NHS Infection Prevention and Control Board and our home was recognised by CQC for its great infection control during the COVID outbreak.

Vanessa Howard
Manager
My name is Vanessa, I Have two grown-up children.
I have worked in care since I left school, my first job was in the TB hospital in Bournemouth. This was a very challenging role, but I gained a lot of experience and it armed me with the training and resilience I needed to further my career. I then moved to Boscombe Hospital which was a different kind of care. This hospital closed and the new Bournemouth General Hospital was built I moved there for a while, and I then decided to take some time out and dedicate some time to my family. I started to miss working in care, I applied for the role of care assistant at Adamscourt and started in 2012 and gained a lot of experience and was promoted to senior, then Deputy manager and then in 2019 I was given the opportunity to become the home manager this has been an exciting and demanding challenge and I continue to learn each day. I am proud of myself for my achievements and the home has grown from strength to strength.
I have achieved my level 5 in care management and continue to attend courses which relate to care.
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family and our dogs. I also like reading and listening to music.

Jaroslaw Zeiciak
Deputy Manager
My name is Jerry and as deputy manager of Adamscourt Care Home, I lead, together with the home manager our wonderful team of care, catering and maintenance team.
We are looking after and creating a homely, loving atmosphere, for all our residents and everyone involved with us.
I have been involved in the care industry for more than 20 years, across three different countries and over the years, I have experienced a very positive evolution in how care is being provided and planned for vulnerable individuals on a person-centred basis.
I am very passionate about providing person-centred care, especially for those living with Dementia and empowering our residents with all aspects of their lives. I believe you cannot categorize people by what ails them, I think each person is unique therefore we need to support each person in their own unique, tailored way.
I have achieved many qualifications in my time in care and continue to learn and train. I am NVQ 5 qualified.
In my personal life, I have two little trouble-making boys! (4 and 7 years old) who keeps my wife and me busy.
My hobbies are running, skateboarding, martial arts, surfing, swimming, reading, playing chess and any board games.
