Care Case Studies
Leading with Compassion and Commitment
Glassmoon Services:
Meghann Kerrison, Registered Manager at Alexandras Community Care in Penryn, exemplifies the dedication and leadership skills that are transforming Cornwall’s care sector. Awarded Registered Manager of the Year at the 2024 Proud to Care Cornwall Awards, Meghann’s journey reflects a deep commitment to both her team and the individuals they support. Starting her career in 2021 as Deputy Manager at the Truro branch, Meghann quickly advanced to Branch Manager in 2022. In February 2023, she relocated to the Penryn branch and, by April 2024, became the Registered Manager. Her rapid progression underscores her dedication and the supportive environment fostered within Alexandras Community Care. Meghann attributes her success to a leadership style grounded in respect, empathy, and collaboration. She believes in treating her team and clients with the utmost dignity, which she feels is often an under-recognised aspect of the role. Her approach has cultivated a workplace culture where staff feel valued and empowered, directly enhancing the quality of care provided to clients. Looking ahead, Meghann is committed to continuing her professional development and supporting her team’s growth. She aims to further integrate person-centred care practices and ensure that Alexandras Community Care remains a leading provider of compassionate and high-quality care in Cornwall.
