Chris Ridge, Operations Support Manager

As Operations Support Manager, I am responsible for the delivery of the annual business plan and wider Corporate Plan in respect of the Targets and Commitments.

Molly Cooke, Hughenden Gardens Village

I was a keen backgammon player from a young age, and I come from a card playing family. At my home here at Hughenden Gardens Village, I’ve taught others how to play the board game. All my life I’ve been a leader, not a follower. I got involved in lots of things, and here I am.

Lin Fowler, Brunswick Gardens Village

We are a community of our own here. I recently arranged a trip to Llandudno. It was wonderful!
If you want the social side, you have it all here.

Norman Swan, Hagley Road Village

I would absolutely recommend Hagley Road Village to anyone. My favourite thing about life here is that I enjoy the company. The staff here make you feel better, we have everything on hand, and I have many friends. I just enjoy living here.

Val Benjamin, Pannel Croft Village

I was a teacher and am a qualified life coach – I do training, mentoring and empowerment sessions at Pannel Croft. I empower people to move them from where they are, to where they wish to be.

Harold & Mary Hewitt, Earlsdon Park Village

They asked if we’d like to live here, and we said we’d love to. We love our apartment, we had two houses before but they were so much work, this is so much more manageable."

Shenley Wood Village – The Meaning of Friendship

Every Friday night we meet at one of our apartments and toast to friendship. We then enjoy a G&T and fish and chip Friday night and come here to enjoy the Piazza. We absolutely love it!

Megan Betteridge, Longbridge Village

I used to be a warden for the elderly for over 20 years so you could say I am a people person. For my 80th birthday the village threw me a party, I could not believe it, 80 to 90 residents ended up showing up for me. There were even daffodil bulbs at my party for everyone.

Pam & Rob Randle, Solihull Village

The people here are lovely, and we feel safe. That’s a big thing to feel safe. We have made lots of friends. I love it here, I’m content.

Cynthia Seddon, Reeve Court Village

The first night I moved in here I slept right through. I am happy here.

Jean Humphreys, New Oscott Village

I can’t tell you the support the residents give to each other, I have some very close friends here.

Margery Crampton, Bournville Gardens

Margery says she would like to say ‘thank you’ to ExtraCare. ‘They have definitely given me my life back,’ she says. ‘They have given me something to look forward to. I feel alive again.
