I’m Angel – the co-owner and CEO of the 1 Oak Group.
I say 1 Oak Group like you know what that means – I’ll elaborate, 1 Oak stands for “1 Of A Kind” and is a group of companies dedicated to high quality care in various forms. 1 Oak Home Care is our first company that we opened in 2017 – we have an incredible team of carers, seniors and managers, I encourage this team of superstars to go above and beyond – always in all ways. Then we opened 1 Oak Daycentre as part of our group in 2019, this daycentre is a magical place that is managed by the one and only Jilly Vince – a lady who has my upmost respect. This year we decided to add another arm to the business and opened 1 Oak Community Meals – this is a non-profit CIC and is still in its infancy but growing quickly!
Let’s get into some blogs…
Support for family carers
Taking care of someone is hard work and you need to make sure that you recharge your batteries, this blog covers some options that are available for you!
A Trusted Trustee
I am on the board of Trustees at Hourglass, a charity that is close to my heart as the sole purpose is to end the abuse of the elderly in the UK, something I am passionate about stomping out.
I am also a Board Member for the Steering Group for the Suffolk Care Association; this is a great local organisation that supports other care providers and advocates for independent care organisations.
A lot of my time is spent researching and looking at issues people face in relation to care and the solutions that are there. I am passionate about people getting the care and support that they need.
This blog is my way of bringing people along on my journey of learning and development. Lots of topics to cover in the world of care, if you want me to write anything or want to get in touch – then my contact information is below.
