Barchester Wilsmere House Care Home

Welcome to Wilsmere House my name is Liliana and I am the General Manager. I have been with the company since 2004 and I had different Managerial positions for the last 10 years. As a General Manager at Wilsmere House, I am responsible for managing the quality of the care, staff and environment. I am passionate about providing the best possible nursing care for our residents. Wilsmere House is such a wonderful place to manage, so full of character and charm. I welcome you to come and visit us to see how our dedicated team of staff make a difference to the lives of our residents.

Komal joined us in November 2025 as our Clinical Deputy Manager. With over 22 years of nursing experience, Komal has previously worked with the local CCGs as a Nurse Assessor and most recently at St Luke's Hospice. We are delighted to have her on board!

I started at Wilsmere House in 2021 as the Admin Assistant and became the Home Administrator in January 2025. I work closely with the General Manager, supporting with our admissions to the home, recruitment and Payroll. I am also the home's Wellbeing Champion. I really enjoy my role as no 2 days are the same.

I joined Wilsmere House as a Care Assistant in February 2022, caring for residents on our Memory Lane community which was really rewarding. I also worked at the weekends as the Admin Assistant since 2023 and recently became a full time member of the Admin team. You will find me at reception greeting visitors to the home. I also support the Home Administrator with invoicing and recruitment.

With strong foundations in both hospital and social care settings, I have been dedicated to delivering high quality care since joining Barchester Health Care in 2014. Over the years, I have held various roles, including in management, which have enriched my leadership skills and deepen my understanding of person centred care.
As a Clinical Lead at Wilsmere House I am committed to ensuring excellence in clinical practice and supporting our team in creating a safe, compassionate and nurturing environment for our residents.

I have been at Wilsmere House since 2009 and am the Head of Unit on our High Dependency community. We care for young people with complex needs.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in cultural leadership, community engagement, event management, safeguarding, programme delivery, workshop facilitation, and creative direction. My passion lies in bringing people together through dance, music, and the performing arts while creating opportunities that encourage confidence, wellbeing, creativity, and cultural connection.

Hello, my name is Jibin and I am the Head Chef here at Wilsmere House. It’s been more than 15 years since I embraced the art of flavour. I had the opportunity to work with great Chefs around the world and acquired many skills and knowledge. Some of the establishments I worked at are 5-star Hotels, Fine Dining Restaurants and Luxury Senior Living Homes. I’m a very inspirational, detail-oriented, Disciplined and Creative Chef. I always try to create a positive environment in and around my Kitchen. I pride myself on preparing high-quality food and what makes me very happy is to see our residents enjoy the dishes that my team and I create.

Our hospitality team are committed to providing seasonal home-cooked menus offering choice, nutrition and quality- including exciting menus to specific individual dietary needs and all appetites. We celebrate every one of our resident’s Birthday and my Kitchen team prepare homemade decorated cakes for their Birthday. The beautiful warm smile that our residents give when we present the Birthday cake is our greatest inspiration.

The food we produce is hugely important to our residents which is why it is absolutely imperative that we always get their feedback and continuously meet the needs and nutritional quota of every single resident who chooses to make Wilsmere House their home.

Matthew joined Wilsmere House in 2023 as our Head of Maintenance. Matthew comes with years of experience working in care homes and has been working very hard with upgrading our facilities.

My name is Raluca and I’m a Senior Physiotherapist with over 15 years of experience, 10 of which I’ve proudly dedicated to Barchester. With a BSc and MSc in Physiotherapy, and a background in both hospital and care settings, I’ve found my true calling here—where care is personal, continuous, and deeply meaningful.
I’ve worked with a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, etc. Personally, brain fascinates me—it challenges and inspires me every day! My passion for helping people regain independence is grounded not just in clinical expertise, but in compassion, teamwork, and connection.
I’m grateful to Barchester for supporting my growth, including through their Team Leadership Programme, which strengthened my ability to lead with empathy and purpose. Their values truly align with my own—placing people first, working together, and striving for excellence.
I live by the principle: ‘Love and do what you want.’ As a paradox, true love for what you do means acting with integrity, always doing what’s best without any expectations—not just for yourself, but for the people around you. In a team-driven environment like ours, that’s what makes the difference!
