Magnolia Care supported living

How Magnolia Care Supported Living was developed.

Magnolia Care started as a consultancy which soon became a CIC and Magnolia Care Supported Living was developed.

Experience & Leadership

Lisa brings more than 30 years of dedicated social care experience, built primarily through leading and managing community care providers to achieve Outstanding ratings with the Care Quality Commission. Her career spans frontline and senior leadership roles across community services, local authorities and hospices throughout the South Coast, giving her a deep and practical understanding of care delivery across a wide range of settings.

Lisa’s extensive experience enables her to offer not only exceptional standards of care to those she supports, but also high-quality professional guidance, development and leadership to the teams she works alongside. Known for her hands-on approach, Lisa works daily with care professionals, problem-solving, mentoring and strengthening services from the ground up to ensure consistently outstanding care outcomes.

Magnolia Care Journey

After three decades in community care provision, Lisa identified a significant gap for individuals and families overwhelmed by complex social care systems. This led her to establish Magnolia Care Consultancy, created to guide people through care pathways, advocate on their behalf, and challenge poor standards of care, an issue Lisa had witnessed throughout her career.

Her consultancy work quickly evolved when she was asked to intervene in a case involving inadequate care provision. When the existing provider withdrew services entirely, Lisa stepped in to ensure continuity of care, despite limited prior experience in the young adult learning disability sector. Recognising that quality care transcends diagnosis or age, she embraced the challenge.

Expertise & Commitment

To meet the needs of the individuals she supported, Lisa transitioned Magnolia Care Consultancy into a CIC charity, enabling it to act as a landlord and access housing benefits. This development led to the creation of Magnolia Care Supported Living as the care provider, with Magnolia Care Consultancy CIC operating as the landlord. While operating separately, both organisations share the same vision, values and leadership under Lisa.

Through this journey, Lisa rapidly developed expertise not only as a registered manager and care provider owner, but also as a landlord, demonstrating adaptability, resilience and unwavering commitment to delivering care that people truly need and deserve.
