Our team
The people your family will get to know.
Fifty-two staff for thirty-one residents. Most of them live within five miles, and many have been here more than ten years.
Helen Pryce
Registered Manager, RGN
22 years at Bellwood
Helen grew up here and trained as a nurse in Shrewsbury before coming home to run the house.
We’re a home first. The care fits around the people who live here, not the other way round.
David Pryce
Owner
Since 1988
David and his late wife Ann bought the old rectory in 1988. He still mends most things himself.
Ann wanted somewhere she’d be happy for her own mother to live. That’s still the test.
Grace Okafor
Deputy Manager, RGN
9 years at Bellwood
Grace leads our nurses and the Orchard wing, and trains every new carer in dementia care.
Knowing someone’s life story changes everything about how you care for them.
Tom Hughes
Activities Lead
6 years at Bellwood
Tom plays piano, runs the minibus trips, and has never lost a quiz night.
Every day should have something in it to look forward to.
Maria Silva
Head Cook
11 years at Bellwood
Maria cooks everything from scratch and knows how every resident likes their tea.
Food is the best part of the day. It should taste like home.
Siân Evans
Senior Carer, Nights
14 years at Bellwood
Siân leads our night team, so families can sleep knowing someone they trust is on.
Nights are when people need someone kind the most.
