My name is Elina House, and I am proud to serve as the General Manager here at Brampton View Care Home.

With a background as a fully qualified nurse and previous experience at other Barchester care homes, I am dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of care and comfort for our residents.

My passion for providing compassionate, person-centred support drives everything we do. At Brampton View, we are committed to creating a warm and welcoming environment where every individual feels valued and respected.

Hello. I am Cristina. I joined Brampton View in 2023 as Head of the Memory Lane Unit and have just taken the role of Deputy Manager.

I bring a vast amount of knowledge and experience. I am passionate about the care I provide for our residents and proud that I am part of a team that is dedicated to the same goals and values to continually improve the quality, health and wellbeing of all our residents in the home.

I work closely with the general practitioners, district nurses, occupational therapists, dieticians and other external agencies that support the residents.
It is my goal to ensure that the home is a safe and secure environment for the residents and their families and that they feel confident in the work we are doing, the communication we provide, and the inclusive strategy we hold from the welcome received to the journey they have living in their home here at Brampton View.

Therapeutic benefits through activities are important to the residents, and we have a lovely garden in which we grow flowers and vegetables. I have a passion for gardening and enjoy the time spent with residents doing this or in my own garden. I am also an avid reader and find that this is a way for me to relax and improve my well-being.

Hello. I am Glenn. I joined the team at Brampton View in 2021 as Head Chef. I have 35 years of culinary experience, and I have had the privilege of working in many locations, including the island of Bermuda for 10 years and Scotland for 8 years, where I ran my own restaurants. I have also had the pleasure of putting my culinary talents to the test for royalty and other famous people.

Since working in healthcare, I have found such fulfilment in being able to provide enjoyment for the residents in their mealtime experience. It feels like cooking for my extended family. I enjoy taking time out of my day to visit the residents to ask for feedback on the meals and tailor the menu for their preferences, as it is their menu! At Brampton view we run our Pudding Club, where each month we recreate a resident’s recipe from their lives and I have provided a cooking demonstration of this. As well as being the nutrition champion for the home I like to take part in the Barchester competitions I involve the residents and my wider team in these, I was also nominated for Chef of the year! Christmas 2023 I produced a gingerbread house advert calendar where each day a different resident could open a house for a treat in the countdown to Christmas. Easter 2024 I won the Easter cake competition with my Easter story cake showing the crucifixion of Jesus and the tradition seminal cake. We also won the best Ice Cream Sundae!

I am an avid supporter of American Football League and enjoy getting dressed up to attend the games is a must for me. I enjoy keeping myself in good health and attend the gym as and when I can.

Hello, I'm Kim, and I've had the pleasure of being a part of the wonderful Brampton View team since 2015. Starting off as the Activities Lead, I quickly moved into the role of Activity Coordinator, where I found a deep passion for creating a fantastic environment within our home. I also supported the housekeeping team to ensure everything was spick and span. In 2018, I was thrilled to step into the position of Head Housekeeper and lead my own amazing team.

Over the past 4 and a half years, we've built a diverse housekeeping team that is dedicated to providing our residents with a clean, organised, and personalised living space. I take immense pride in maintaining the highest cleanliness standards and ensuring that our environment is always impeccable.

Aside from keeping our living space pristine, I love spending time with the residents, often offering them a comforting hot drink or a freshly baked cake. I aim to support both residents and staff in the day-to-day operations of our beautiful home.

Outside of work, I have a deep passion for the environment and find peace in the therapeutic benefits of freshwater swimming, and I am an avid runner, which I've enjoyed for many years, and have taken part in many marathons. Family is incredibly important to me, and I cherish every moment spent with them, and that includes our wonderful dog, Bella, who keeps us on our toes!

Hello. I am Amanda. I joined the team at Brampton View in 2022 as a Team Leader. I have achieved my diploma in Level 3 in Health and Social Care and bring more than 30 years of care experience to Brampton View. I have worked in many different care services, including learning disabilities. I was also privileged to manage 2 care home settings through the pandemic.

Care started within my family setting when I was younger, and I worked with St John Ambulance for 14 years, also as a volunteer with them as a First Aid trainer. I then joined the care sector in 2012 with palliative care. I was able to provide support to patients and families, building rapport and empathy.

It is very important to me that the residents, families and external visitors are all provided with the best support, communication, and understanding, and I will give the best of myself to ensure their well-being is paramount. As a team leader, I feel that my role goes above and beyond for our residents, as the home is a community, and we all become attached to each other through building what feels like an external family unit. Within the home, I am passionate about the staff team we have here at Brampton View and how well we work together to provide passionate care and support to all our residents.

In my spare time, I am passionate about my walks that I take with my 2 dogs, Mitzee & Polly. Walking is very therapeutic to me and so good for mental health. I am at my happiest when walking the dogs for hours.

Hello. I am Anna. I have been a team member at Brampton View since 2021, when I joined as a Registered Nurse. I have over 36 years of nursing experience and have achieved a Master’s degree in Special Pedagogy and a Bachelor’s degree in Resocialisation. I have also spent time volunteering for prisons and was president of a young people’s organisation. When living in Poland, I was the senior nurse for the Neurosurgery and Oncology-Surgery unit. I also had the pleasure of writing articles for the local hospital newspaper.

It was a childhood dream to be a nurse and always my first-choice career. I love everything about nursing and am passionate about the residents I care for. If the residents are in good health, happy, and well, this makes me feel good. I love to see a resident improving in health and feel that connection with each individual that I care for. Having my residents feel safe, secure and happy is the most important aspect of my role. I have a well-accomplished team and we work in unity as one, which ensures the care, compassion and well-being we deliver to our residents. I have an excellent relationship with the residents' families, and they enjoy speaking with me about their loved ones.

I enjoy spending quality time reading a good psychological book and even more so with my family, especially my son, who is diagnosed with autism. We enjoy family holidays exploring natural wonders and astrology. In days gone by, I was also an avid basketball and tennis player.

Hello, I'm Marta, Second Chef at Brampton View.

I was soon promoted to senior carer when the opportunity arose.

I am naturally caring and compassionate, and I strive to support our residents in living their best lives at the home. I have a keen instinct for providing the best care, and I actively engage with residents, their families, and external agencies to ensure the best outcomes for all involved.

Outside of work, my beautiful family - my husband and four children - are my passion, and I take great joy in caring for their needs.
