Barchester Bedewell Grange Care Home

Hi, my name is Rebecca, and I am the Senior General Manager here at Bedewell Grange.

Thank you for taking the time to look further into what Bedewell Grange has to offer to you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life. I have worked for the healthcare sector for approximately 10 years as a registered manager, in a wide variety of services. My background is nursing and I am a qualified learning disabilities nurse I have had the opportunity to work alongside a wealth of experienced healthcare professionals.

I love my role and what I do. I feel we are honoured to work with you or your loved ones and look forward to getting to you know should you choose to come and stay at Bedewell Grange. I am lucky to be supported by an experienced team that demonstrates a nurturing warm and compassionate approach.

The home's core objective is to promote a quality ethos centred on England’s Health and social care standards.

My name is Denise, I am the Deputy Manager of Bedewell Grange care home. I joined Bedewell Grange in January 2022 and bring a wealth of experience to the role, having worked in health care for over 10 years. My passion is to help people, which is why I have developed my career within this sector. My personality is very approachable, so if you have any concerns, or just need a general chit chat, come and say hello!

I support the delivery of quality care and work closely with the General Manager - taking on leadership duties in their absence. I help with everything from ensuring care standards to motivating my team.

I am thoroughly enjoying this chapter in my career with Barchester, and looking forward to continuing to support our lovely residents and staff in the home.

Hello. I'm Tony. I am Bedewell Grange's Head of Maintenance.

I have been with Barchester since 2015 as the Head of Maintenance, and continue to enjoy every moment of it.

My background is in IT hardware, which is probably why I enjoy fixing electronic items. I also love the variety that this role brings, from changing a light bulb to re-decorating one of the lovely rooms here at the home.

It's always a please to chat with our residents as I make my daily rounds.

Hi, my name is Miranda and I am the home's administrator.

I have been working for Barchester since August 2021. I deal with all aspects of the administration of the home to ensure it runs smoothly, from invoicing, ordering, recruitment, setting up contracts, to manning reception; there's never a dull day!

I bring a wealth of administrative experience to the role having worked in construction for 30-years and I love this new role as every day is a school day.

It’s a privilege getting to know our residents, their backgrounds, humour and their life experiences. They have many a tale to tell, and I'm always happy to sit and listen to them over a cup of tea!

My Name is Donna. I am the activities co-ordinator at Bedewell Grange.

I joined Bedewell Grange in April 2022 and I bring lots of new exciting ideas to the role, having worked in the health and social care sector for the last 15 years. I am passionate about my role within the home and aim to bring a smile to all our residents faces through different types of activities.

I'm bright and bubbly, so aim to share this each day at work. I have experience in supporting our residents who are more able as well as doing sensory Namaste sessions with our residents who are less able.

As I get to know the residents likes and dislikes, if you would like to come and chat with me about your family member please pop in and see me.

Hi! I'm Cheryl and I am one of the Senior Carer Assistants.

I have worked in care for over 30 years and love being able to make a difference to all of people in my care. I obtained my level 3 NVQ in 2009 and have been a senior for more years than I care to mention.

I love being a senior as it is a very busy role and there is always something to do. Every day is different and you are always learning new skills.

I have been at Bedewell since 2016 and love the homely atmosphere. Staff all work together to make Bedewell a true home for all of our residents and I am proud of the high quality of care that we provide.

Hi, my name is Frederick, and I am a Senior Carer here at Bedewell Grange. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and an MBA in Business Administration, with over 11 years of professional experience in one of Nigeria's leading banks.

While my background may seem unconventional, I discovered a deep-seated passion for caregiving while tending to my ageing mother before her dear passing in 2021.

Relocating to the UK, I sought to channel this passion and embarked on a career in healthcare. I joined the Bedewell team in 2022 as a Carer and quickly progressed to the role of Senior Carer, thanks to the incredible support I received from the management.

I absolutely love my job and cherish the supportive environment fostered by the Bedewell team. I feel incredibly privileged to share the home of our lovely residents and will continue to do my best to contribute to their well-being.

I have diligently completed all necessary training and am eager to continue expanding my knowledge and contribute meaningfully to the healthcare sector. I look forward to meeting you or your loved ones at Bedewell. Thank you.

Hi, my name is Elaine and I am a Care Assistant.

My background has been in pharmacy and I worked as a pharmacy dispenser for around 13 years. I decided I wanted a change of career and decided I would love to work in the care sector. I applied for Bedewell Grange as I live close by and loved the look of the home.

I absolutely love my job, it is so interesting. I love making a difference to the residents lives. We are all one big family, with an excellent team. I am looking forward to developing in my role, gaining more experience and working here for many years to come.
