Ana-Maria Musteata: A Heart at the Centre of Manor Lodge, part of RMD Care Group
In a world where compassion often speaks louder than words, Ana-Maria Musteata has built a career rooted in empathy, dedication, and the quiet power of human connection. As the Activity Coordinator at her care home, Manor Lodge, Ana-Maria brings nearly a decade of experience and a deeply personal journey to her role, one that began with a mop and grew into a mission.
From Cleaner to Coordinator: A Journey of Purpose
Ana-Maria first stepped through the doors of the care home in October 2016, hired as a cleaner. But within just a month, she felt a calling to do more. She transitioned into a carer role, and by 2018, she was serving as a Night Senior Carer, a position she held with pride until April 2024. Today, she leads the home's activity program, crafting daily experiences that bring joy and meaning to residents’ lives.
A Day in the Life: Creating Joy, One Activity at a Time
Ana-Maria’s days are filled with creativity and care. Whether she’s organising games, leading gentle walks, reading aloud, or planning group celebrations, her goal is simple: to make each resident feel seen, engaged, and uplifted.
She finds the greatest reward in the small moment, “Watching residents light up when they’re engaged in something meaningful. Those smiles remind me why I love this work.”
Lessons in the Quiet Hours
One of Ana-Maria’s most cherished memories comes from her early days as a night carer. Two residents, Peter Jefrinson and Rachel Ravell, often struggled with sleep and would call on her for company. Though Ana-Maria was still learning English, Peter and Rachel patiently taught her during those quiet hours. “It was a true exchange,” she recalls. “They shaped both my work and my life.”
Building Trust, One Conversation at a Time
Ana-Maria’s approach to care is deeply personal. She believes in being present, listening intently, and encouraging residents to participate in activities that reflect their interests. “It’s in the small, everyday conversations that trust grows,” she says.
Her colleagues describe her as dedicated, patient, and full of energy, someone who brings warmth into every room she enters. Outside of work, she recharges by reading and taking long walks, a quiet reflection of the calm she brings to her role.
A Home Filled with Heart
For Ana-Maria, quality care means more than meeting physical needs; it’s about dignity, patience, and nurturing the spirit. She hopes visitors feel the same warmth she does: “That Manor Lodge is a place full of kindness and connection, a home where people are truly cared for and valued.”
