Meet our team

Paula Drage

Service Manager

 

With over 23 years of experience in various care settings, I’ve had the privilege of supporting and learning from adults and children with learning disabilities, autism, and challenging behaviour.

I joined Swanton/Courtyard in 2019 as a Team Leader and have recently progressed to Manager of Lilly House, which has undergone a stunning renovation and is set to open this year. It’s been incredibly rewarding to shape Lilly House’s vision as a nurturing, fun, and safe home where children and young people can learn, develop, and grow through creativity and play.

I am deeply passionate about the journey ahead and excited to work alongside our young people and staff, creating opportunities for everyone to thrive. Having worked hard to achieve my goals and expand my knowledge, I am committed to building strong, supportive teams that deliver exceptional care and positive outcomes for the children we support.

Kim Ames

Regional Director - Courtyard Care Central

I joined Courtyard Care in October 2025 after more than 20 years in health and social care, progressing into management and leadership roles. Most of my experience has been within services for young people with complex needs, including learning disabilities and autism.

I hold qualifications in care, management, and therapeutic approaches, and I’m passionate about making a positive difference to young people’s lives — while having fun and celebrating great outcomes along the way.

It’s a privilege to work alongside residential teams, families, and professionals to help young people achieve their potential. I look forward to supporting managers in their professional development and continuing to create positive memories for every young person we support.

About

Lilly House is situated in the quiet residential area of Barton Seagrave, close to local resources and facilities allowing us to get out and be active in the local community.

Lilly House offers each child and young person their own bedroom and a range of communal living spaces including a lounge, conservatory, kitchen and garden. Our activity room provides an area to allow the children and young adults a chance to express themselves and enjoy messy play and other arts and craft activities. We also have a sensory room with lights, mirrors and a magic table which are used together to create an environment for relaxing time or play.
