Each area is themed which I am sure helps the residents feel at home, nothing seemed too much for the staff to deal with. I was surprised at the standard of the rooms both the residents own rooms and the communal rooms. My, obviously outdated, thoughts on what a Care Home is like couldn't be more incorrect as far as Southerndown is concerned.
Thank you for such a great feedback.Kindest regardsShilpa
My wife and I were most impressed by the facilities and care at Southerndown. The staff were experienced and kind. We were most impressed by the ability of the staff to reduce my sister's pain levels that she had endured for many months, if not years. Thank you for your service.

Mum was in Barchester Southerndown Care Home for almost two years, before passing in December. We've been really happy with how she has been looked after. Full-time, caring, understanding, loving staff. Facilities have been refreshed to a very high standard in Mum's time. During her last few days, the care was outstanding. She was looked after so well and treated with such sensitivity and dignity. I couldn't recommend this home more highly. First-class people.

Hi, I am Subra. I am the General Manager here at Southerndown Care Home.
I have completed a B.Sc. Nursing and gained very good knowledge from my time in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit in India.
I joined the home in July 2021 as a Pre-registered Nurse, before qualifying as a General Registered Nurse. It has been a privilege to grow and progress within Barchester, and I was delighted when, in 2023, I was promoted to Deputy Manager.
I love my job, the Residents and the staff team - we are one big family. I am passionate about delivering quality care and operating an inclusive and empowering culture within the home.

Hi, I'm Clara. I bring over 32 years of nursing experience to my role in residential care. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about making a positive difference in people's lives and ensuring that every resident receives the highest standard of care, dignity, and respect.
I find my role incredibly rewarding, particularly the opportunity to spend quality time with residents, build meaningful relationships, and support them in living fulfilling lives. Seeing the impact that compassionate care can have on both residents and their families is what motivates me every day.
Alongside my clinical experience, I have enjoyed developing my leadership and management skills, allowing me to support and mentor staff while helping to maintain a safe, caring, and welcoming environment. I am committed to continuous learning and strive to ensure that our home delivers exceptional person-centred care for everyone who lives here.

I have worked at Southerndown Barchester since 2019.
As a Senior Nurse my role is to ensure clinical support within the home for our residents, but ensuring I can come to work and put smiles on the resident's faces and make a difference to their lives is the most rewarding part of what we do.
In my spare time, I like to learn new languages as I believe it fosters personal growth whilst understanding more cultures and opens doors for me to travel and embark on visiting different parts of the world

I have been with the team at Southerndown since 2023
People ask me what I enjoy about my job and the answer is easy... 'the people'. It's the small things that make the difference every day, seeing people smile and seeing someone respond positively to interaction.

Hello there, I'm Andrei and I am the Second Chef and part of the hospitality team at Southerndown Care Home.
I joined the team as a General Assistant in 2017 before transferring to the care team as a Care Assistant for 3 years, following which I supported the home with maintenance for a short period before joining the kitchen team, where I believe I've found my place. The home and management here have been super supportive and we all work together to ensure the home runs smoothly, it's so important.
My favourite thing about my job is seeing the residents enjoy our food, and the meals we prepare. Seeing empty plates is a reward for me and the kitchen team.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my lovely wife, walking my dog and visiting the theatre and cinema and a spot of cycling when time allows.

I joined the home in 2022 and I absolutely adore my job, caring for our Residents. I have many years’ worth of experience in the care industry and could not think of a more rewarding job to do. I like to help people and when I see them happy it brings me joy.
Outside of work, I have four children who keep me very busy, but an important part of my life is my church community, where I volunteer at food banks, soup kitchens and coffee mornings. I like to cook African cuisine, but I do love a good roast potato too!

Hi my name is Tracey and I've been part of the housekeeping team here at Southerndown since 2022.
I enjoy working as part of a team to make sure the home is kept fresh, clean and tidy and I support Residents to remain as independent as possible.

I am very proud of my work, the home and my colleagues.
