Trained to Help Project

I manage the day-to-day running of the House. Abbeyfield House is a non-profit independent-living seniors residence with a maximum of 10 residents. We have 5 - 8 staff that provide meals and cleaning of common areas.As manager, I support the staff and residents, and report to the Board of Directors and the Residency Committee on a monthly basis.I am a "sounding board" for any staff or resident concerns, and work with our volunteers to ensure our residents have a safe and healthy home.During this pandemic time, I have worked remotely to set up protocols & procedures to keep the residents safe, producing documents, checking in with health authorities when advice is needed, and helping staff and residents manage stress and isolation - at the same time as keeping life as normal as possible. So far, we have been successful in staying healthy!

I am responsible for Accounts payable, Accounts receivable, payroll for up to 10 staff, government remittances, preparing bank deposits, and any other bookkeeping tasks as they come up. I started as a volunteer bookkeeper, however this role has now been combined with my House Manager role.
