Our Health Care Team...

Hatchmoor prides itself on having a care team second to none...

Matron - Maggie               

Maggie came to Hatchmoor from our sister Home, Swimbridge House just outside of Barnstaple, where  she was Matron for over 5 years.  Originally working as a Staff Nurse,  Maggie was asked to take on the role of Matron at Swimbridge due to the retiremenent of the original Matron.  Maggie soon made her mark on Swimbridge helping to update the Home in its care practices.  Maggie's final role at Swimbridge was to train her successor, again Maggie took this in her stride.

Home Owners - Singh Family

Having run successful businesses in North Devon since the 1930's, the Singh family branched into Nursing Homes in 1996.  Swimbridge House was the first Home to be built.  Originally built with 16 bedrooms, Swimbridge House soon expanded due to its enviable reputation for care and family atmosphere.  Currently with 22 bedrooms Swimbridge House has plans to expand to 30 in the very near future.  Swimbridge Court was built in 2003 within the grounds of Swmbridge House.  This is predominately a retirement complex consisting of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and bungalows.  A unique feature of this complex is the succesful childrens day nursery that opened in 2006.

Following on from the success of both Swimbridge House and Swimbridge Court, Hatchmoor Nursing Home was opened in June 2009.  All that was learnt from the experience of building and running the previous Homes was built into Hatchmoor.  The project was run and built by the Singh's Family own Nursing Home construction firm OQ Developments with Solomon Singh personally running the project.  Uniquely residents, their families and staff at Swimbridge House and Court were consulted about what they felt was needed in a perfect purpose built Home.  The result being Hatchmoor.

Manager - Solomon Singh

Having project managed the building and opening of Swimbridge House in 1996 during his gap year Solomon went on to gain a degree in Business Marketing and Computer Systems whilst helping to run the family business at weekends.  In 1999 Solomon returned home to manage the expansion of Swimbridge with an additional 6 bedrooms and the building of Swimbridge Court.  Solomon went on to design and project manage the building of Hatchmoor.  Currently he is the Manager at Hatchmoor and overseas the running of Swimbridge.  With over 10 years working in the care sector along with firm traditional family values Solomon brings vast experience and an enviable family orientated care ethos to  both Swimbridge and Hatchmoor.
