Care sector consultancy Caresolve has appointed Maxine Parry as a new regional director, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day management of the company.

Parry was previously a senior consultant at the Warrington-based company, which she joined in in 2016.

Caresolve was established in 2011 by care sector professionals Ben Challinor and James Parkin. They were subsequently joined by Richard Shore as finance director in 2016.

Caresolve stated it has been extremely busy during the Covid-19 pandemic, providing strategic and operational support to care home operators and their investors. The company also works closely with local authorities, the Care Quality Commission, insolvency practitioners, banks, sales agents and solicitors. It also undertakes management contracts for investors and providers, as well as helping turnaround care homes.

The company also has a dedicated financial arm, Caresolve Financial, led by Richard Shore, providing financial reviews and management services and finance director support.

Challinor said: “Maxine has a proven track record of providing leadership to care home operators, consistently helping them to achieve success beyond expectation. In some cases, this means putting in place a strategy to enable a home to go from Good to Outstanding in Care Quality Commission inspections. For others, particularly during the current crisis, it has been more about helping care home operators to navigate their way through extremely testing times.”

Parry said: “We have been extremely busy throughout the pandemic and have plans to continue to grow Caresolve over the next couple of years in the Northwest and beyond. I am looking forward to leading the team and continuing to work in partnership with care sector operators, to drive forward standards and assist them in achieving their ultimate goals for their care homes.”
