the heart of Evelyn Grace
Our dedicated care team
Emma Devenny - Managing Director / Founder
Emma is the founder of Evelyn Grace. She had a vision for a unique care provision for older people living in their own homes following an intense period caring for her own Grandmother – Evelyn Grace – and finally saw this realised when she launched the agency in 2008.
Her academic and professional roots are in nursing, having gained extensive experience in both hospital and community settings, and achieving academic status to Master’s level in the advanced nursing practice of older people.
Emma supports the smooth day-to-day running of the agency while continuing to drive it forward with a determination that ‘care really should mean care’.
Rebekah Miller - Registered Manager
Rebekah has been caring and advocating for older people for over 35 years, working in both residential and domiciliary settings. Her passion for holistic care is supported by qualifications in pastoral support, elderly mental health, bereavement counselling, palliative care and safeguarding adults.
Her resolve to raise the profile of caregivers underpins her work around recruitment, induction, training and support of the Evelyn Grace Team.
Rebekah is excited to work alongside her Team to serve the clients and their families with integrity and candour.
Jo Clarke - Out & About Manager
Jo was new to older care when she joined Evelyn Grace 9-years ago, and having acquired knowledge and experience through hands-on practice, she quickly moved from fulltime carer to Team Leader, and now works as an important member of the Management Team.
Jo works closely with the clients and their families, building strong relationships to support meaningful person-centred care.
Jo loves what she does, and couldn’t imagine doing anything else!
The Evelyn Grace story
Our name is a tribute to Evelyn Grace Gilkison – a beloved grandmother whose strength and warmth continue to inspire everything we do.
When co-founder Emma Devenny, Evelyn’s granddaughter, couldn’t find the level of care her grandmother deserved, she set out to build something better. Armed with years of nursing experience and a vision for real change, Emma founded Evelyn Grace Ltd in 2008.
The red Gerbera Daisy, Evelyn’s favourite flower, now stands as a symbol of our values – love, dignity, joy, and care without compromise. It represents being "completely immersed in love".
