As we enjoy this festive season, we want to ensure the health and wellbeing of everyone in our homes. With increasing cases of influenza in the community, we are reintroducing masks for all team members and visitors at our Easton Park Homes as a precautionary measure.

Dear Families, Friends and Representatives,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Nish Gautam and I am pleased to share that I have commenced this week as the Residential Services Manager for Taylor House.

Over the coming days, I will be receiving a full handover from Lynda Neil and taking the opportunity to get to know our residents, families, and the Taylor House team.

As we enter the festive season, I look forward to meeting many of you during the daily walkarounds and during the Christmas Lunch for our residents on 17th of December.

I also warmly invite you to our Family and Friends Meeting will occur on Tuesday, 6 January 2025 at 10:30am.

I look forward to working together and ensuring high quality care for our residents.

Wishing you happy festive season and new year.

Warm Regards,
Nish Gautam
