General Manager
Emma Franklin
I first started working in the care industry at the age of 16 years while still at college. I worked as a Housekeeper part time. I started spending more time with the residents & realised my passion for care at a young age. I left college & became a full-time care assistant. I spent my first 10 years in care before I decided to go travelling, visiting Thailand, Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia & South America over a period of 18 months.
When I returned, I worked for a company Sunrise Senior Living for the next 14 years developing my career from a Senior Care Assistant to Assisted living Coordinator, then onto a Regional Care Coordinator which took me into supporting a Home & I then became General Manager. I finally left Sunrise Senior Living to take an opportunity with Signature Senior Lifestyle firstly as the General Manager at Elton House & then transferred to Bentley House. I have now worked in the care industry for 30 years & feel just as passionate about looking after our residents now as I did when I was 16 years of age.
