The Stroud News and Journal is profiling care heroes to recognise their tireless efforts during the pandemic. This week we spoke to Kerlane Jackman, 41, who moved from Brazil to Stroud to care for the elderly at Resthaven Nursing Home in Pitchcombe. After working as a cleaner in another home, Mrs Jackman studied health and social care at Stroud College and became a care assistant. “Kerlane with her incredible colleagues have shown great patience and dedication with our residents and supported families during the pandemic,” said Resthaven chief executive Martin Hughes. Resthaven is owned by Lilian Faithful, a charity which provides care for around 300 vulnerable elderly residents in five homes in Gloucestershire.
