Barnfield Care Home

I have worked in health and social care since 2018 and feel incredibly proud of the journey that has led me into home management. I began my career as a Care Assistant and have progressed through senior and leadership roles, which has given me a strong understanding of care from every level and a deep appreciation of how important compassion, patience, and consistency are in everyday life within a care home.

My passion lies in creating a home where residents feel comfortable, listened to, and genuinely cared for as individuals. I believe the best care comes from taking the time to truly know each person; their life story, preferences, routines, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I have extensive experience supporting people living with dementia and complex needs, and I am deeply committed to promoting dignity, choice, and independence at every stage of care.

I am very hands-on and approachable in my role and believe families should feel confident, involved, and reassured. I enjoy supporting and developing staff, creating a positive and respectful culture, and ensuring high standards are met without losing the warmth and humanity that make a place feel like home. Open communication and strong relationships are central to how I work.

My vision for Barnfield is to continue developing it into a welcoming, homely environment where residents feel settled and valued, and where families feel peace of mind. I am committed to ongoing improvements not only in care delivery, documentation, and compliance, but also in the physical environment and the overall experience of living at the home. I believe small changes, made thoughtfully and consistently, can make a meaningful difference to quality of life.

I am always happy to speak with families, friends, or anyone considering Barnfield for future care. Whether you have questions, concerns, or simply want to understand more about how we support our residents, I will always do my best to listen, help, and provide honest, supportive guidance.
