Meet the team
While home care is often a preferred option to residential care as it means staying independent in the comfort of your own home for longer, it does come at a cost. However, you may be entitled to getting help with funding home care through your local council. We can help you look at all the options to suit your budget.

Lisa Footman
Managing Director
As a local Lytham resident I deeply care about our community and the vulnerable. We all play a part in ensuring people are kept safe, and I am super proud of the extremely high standard of care our team deliver across the Fylde. The five star reviews we have are all down to the team of highly trained Angels who we ensure are looked after from the training they receive to the pay they take home each month. The only way to improve the standard of care is to recruit only the very best caregivers and then provide them with world class training and rewards.

Donna Rutherford
Registered Manager
I became a carer after personally caring for my own mum, as we navigated the world of dementia together. This is the very reason I can connect and emphasise with families who are on the same difficult journey as I was. I hold a Level 5 Leader in Adult Care and was delighted to be crowned Registered Manager of the Year 2026. Standards at Fylde Coast are extremely high because clients are trusting us with their welfare, and so we treat that with the upmost respect. Our client testimonials show that our care really is outstanding!

Julie Newman
Clinical Lead & RGN
I embarked upon my nursing career over 25 years ago and held several senior nursing positions at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, and latterly in residential nursing. I am a current member of the Royal College of Nursing, and the Nursing and Midwifery Council. I am proud to be able to provide nurse delegated care in the community, giving clients and their families total peace of mind. High professional standards are important to me and that is why I chose to work alongside the team at VA Fylde Coast.
