30 years in geriatric care — now offering that experience as independent, non-clinical eldercare navigation and family advocacy, across the UK and Spain.
years spent inside the systems families are now trying to understand for the first time.
I spent my career in geriatric care — first through the NHS and nursing homes in the UK, then, from 2006, running my own independent home care practice in the UK. I relocated that practice to Jávea in March 2017, and have supported British expat families within a 25km radius of Jávea ever since. Along the way I've sat in hundreds of care-home meetings, family conferences, and difficult conversations about what comes next.
What I offer today is that experience, redirected. I help families understand how the care system actually works, what their options are, and how to make decisions they can live with — without needing to become experts themselves. I don't provide clinical treatment or diagnosis; I provide the knowledge, the calm head, and the advocacy that usually only comes from having done this hundreds of times before.
My own move — from Jávea to Portishead, near Bristol, in late 2026 — is what prompted this cross-border version of the work: the same navigation and advocacy, now built for families managing care on both sides of the UK–Spain border.
"Families don't need someone to tell them what's medically wrong. They need someone who will give them the time and attention to sit down, listen, and put their needs first — someone who can advise what to ask and do next. That personal touch is what I offer."
