Ami Higgins

Ami’s journey at Acorn Court began when she joined as a volunteer at just 15 years old.It was through this that she found confidence and a sense of belonging, inspired by the relationships she built with residents. Ami trained as a carer, quickly discovering a natural vocation for care. Influenced by her mother’s work in the care sector, Ami brings compassion, empathy, and dedication and in 2011, she moved into lifestyles, focusing on residents’ social wellbeing and creating meaningful, person-centred experiences.

Now our Care Services Manager, Ami oversees reception, lifestyles, catering, housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance, all essential to residents’ daily quality of life. She continues to develop her skills through formal qualifications and ongoing learning. Ami says, “Acorn Court changed my life. The residents helped me find who I am, and caring for others gives me a real sense of purpose.” Her passion remains firmly centred on residents, families, and supporting teams to deliver exceptional care.
