Thornton Lodge

The theory acquired whilst working in psychiatric nursing in my formative years was put into practice by embarking into the Care Home Sector in 1984, where job satisfaction on both my and my Staff’s behalf has been enormous.

I have always endeavoured to develop and structure Thornton Lodge within a concept of care, embracing authentic policies and procedures to keep a high standard of care, which we remain so proud to offer to the community to this very day.

After acquiring my degree from UAL in 2017, I joined the family business in the Care Home Sector. I have worked diligently under the guidance of Mr Juwaheer, having enjoyed acquiring both a wealth and breadth of knowledge in the management of care to our Service Users and Staff development.

I have been actively involved in the running of Thornton Lodge since 2017, hosting myself with 6 years of experience within both the business and clinical aspects of the Home. I am planning to follow through with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Health & Social Care in 2023.

I have been working at Thornton Lodge for 4 years now. At Thornton Lodge, every day is different. What I like most about my job is that I can be a part of our residents' lives, and that I can support them throughout good and bad times. I know that mine, as well as other members of staff’s, caring attitude, makes a difference in our clients’ quality of life. The most satisfying part of my day is when I finish my shift, knowing that everyone was well supported and that all the needs of our clients were met. I take pride in fulfilling my responsibilities the best way I can.
