We are delighted to introduce Cheryl Harbourne MBE, who as Commissioning Manager will drive MACC Care’s vision for the expert provision of respectful, person-centred care and enrichment for all Blythe Valley residents.

Cheryl who qualified as a nurse in 1987, has over 16 years’ care home management experience. Under her leadership, her last home rose from a CQC rating ‘good’ in care in 2015, to ‘outstanding’ in 2017. In 2019 it became one of only nine homes in the country to attain ‘outstanding’ ratings across all five assessment criteria. These are: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led.

Cheryl directed her team to gain a number of awards including Level 1 Dementia Care Matters and Meaningful Care Matters Awards for ‘exceptional person-centred dementia care’ and Special Recognition in the 2019 Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards.

Her personal contribution to the sector has not gone unrecognised. Cheryl gained an MBE for her services to veterans during the Covid-19 pandemic and was a finalist in the Good Morning Britain 1 Million Minutes ‘Dame Barbara Windsor Award’.

At Blythe Rose, Cheryl aims to set standards in developing the very best nursing and dementia care home in the West Midlands.

Working with a skilled team that shares her passion, she will ensure that every resident is ‘Living in Harmony’ – emotionally, with others and with the world around them.
