Debbie Downey

Care Manager

Since my teenage years, I've been drawn to a life centred around caring for others. My journey began with early experiences in a residential home at age 16 and continued through my studies in health and social care. These experiences were not just milestones in my career but were integral in shaping my understanding and commitment to caregiving.

Achieving my Registered Manager qualifications was a pivotal moment. It was more than earning a title; it was about embracing the responsibility to ensure the best possible care for individuals to live comfortably, happily, and safely in their own homes. In this role, I strive to blend professionalism with heartfelt compassion and dedication.

At Right at Home, I've found a role that aligns perfectly with my values. Exceeding high standards is something that is also aimed for while providing quality support and offering outstanding training. I feel blessed to be part of a team that's not just knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive.

Supporting our CareGivers is a critical part of my role. CareGivers are the heart of our service, providing compassionate care to our clients. I take great pride in mentoring and guiding them, ensuring they have the skills and confidence to excel in their roles. Their commitment and the genuine connections they build with our clients inspire me daily.

Outside of work, I find joy and relaxation in adventures with my family and my loyal Pomeranian, Pom-Bear. These moments help me recharge and bring my best self to my professional life.
My story is about being part of a community that values care, compassion, and the dignity of every individual we serve. I am proud to be part of Right at Home, where we collectively work to enhance the lives of those in our care, with each CareGiver playing a vital and appreciated role in this mission.
