I moved my husband from this home after 4 weeks as I was unhappy with his care. He was in Memory Lane as he had Alzheimer's. It stank so much it made me gag. I was paying big money for his care but he was left in bed all day. Once when I went at 1130 he hadn't been washed dressed or shaved as was still wet. The furniture was broken from day one, bathroom floor was dangerously wet. The bed brake wasn't on, drinks were always out of reach and you could never find any staff. He lost 5 kilos in weight in the first 3 weeks. Staff had a hospital letter and 2 reminders he had to go to the hospital for an x-ray but he was undressed in bed when he was being collected. His care was very poor and I felt he was neglected. Since being moved they had seen a great improvement in his health.

My husband has been a resident for nearly three years. He has advanced Parkinson's. I have always been really impressed with the care he receives and the kindness and consideration of the staff. I'm very impressed with all the activities that are organised for the residents, even though he is rarely well enough to participate. I have recommended the home to five families.

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. We offer a great life enrichment programme at Southerndown and every day is different but enjoyable.
In my spare time, I like to spend time in the garden, I enjoy sewing but mostly love spending time with my grandchildren

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.

Hello, my name is Charity and I am one of the Care Assistants here at Southerndown Care Home.
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.
By far the best part of my job is the Residents, they all bring their own individual stories and experiences and they are always keen to share these with me when I am cleaning their room.

I joined the team in 2017 as a Night Care Assistant and I feel completely fulfilled by my job every day. I enjoy caring for our Residents and making sure they are settled and rested at night time.

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