Sheena Renton looks back on more than 20 years as Care Manager at St Mary’s Care Home, Monifieth.
“I started in St Mary’s at the beginning of 2003 as a Care Assistant. I had never worked in care before so thought to myself I will give it one week to see if I like it and I have been here ever since. After a few years I was then promoted to Relief Senior which entailed standing in for the Seniors for holiday cover.”
“I was then promoted to Senior and remained in that role until 2015 when I applied to be Manager as over the years many managers came and went. I was accepted for this position and remained as manager up until my retirement on 18th December 2024.”
“During my many years in St Mary’s I acquired 3 qualifications to which I am most proud of.
In my time as Manager there has been good times, bad times but I have enjoyed it all immensely.
My biggest challenge as Manager was getting the home through Covid times but with a good team behind me we managed to keep our residents and ourselves safe. I will miss all the staff and residents but I feel it is now my time to retire and see what the next chapter of my life brings.”
