Orchard House Care Home

I have worked in the care sector for more than 20 years and joined Orchard House in 2010. Since then, I have progressed through a number of roles, beginning as a Carer and working my way up to become General Manager.

I am passionate about supporting residents and their loved ones, ensuring each person receives compassionate, person-centred care that reflects their individual needs, choices and preferences. I am equally committed to creating a positive and supportive culture where residents and team members can thrive.

It is a privilege to lead the exceptional team at Orchard House, and I am incredibly proud of everything we have achieved together. Our dedication to providing high-quality care has been recognised through success at the Great British Care Awards and, most recently, Orchard House being named Team of the Year at the Fenland Business Awards 2026.

These achievements reflect the compassion, commitment and teamwork shown by everyone at Orchard House each day. Together, we work to ensure Orchard House remains a warm, welcoming place where residents feel safe, valued and truly at home. Read less

I am a dedicated nurse with 16 years of healthcare experience and have proudly worked at Orchard House for the past 14 years. For the last four years, I have had the privilege of supporting residents, families and our care team as Deputy Manager.

I am passionate about ensuring every resident receives high-quality care and is always treated with dignity, kindness and respect. I truly love my role and feel proud to be part of such a close-knit team.

In 2025, I was honoured to be named a finalist for the Frontline Leader Award at the Great British Care Awards, recognising my commitment to the residents and team at Orchard House. Read less

I am Honey Berry, Dementia Ambassador at Orchard House Care Home in Wisbech. I began my career in care at the age of 18 and have more than 11 years’ experience supporting people living with dementia and their families.

My passion for dementia care is deeply personal. It began when I helped support my Nanny after she became unwell and grew stronger when my other Nanny was diagnosed with dementia. Experiencing her journey as a family member, particularly during the pandemic, gave me a deeper understanding of the fear, uncertainty and heartache dementia can bring.

As Dementia Ambassador, I combine professional knowledge with personal experience to support residents, families and colleagues at Orchard House. I champion person-centred dementia care by helping the team understand each resident’s history, preferences, routines and individual ways of communicating.

Whether connection comes through music, reminiscence, a familiar activity or a quiet moment together, my priority is to ensure every resident feels safe, valued and recognised as the person they have always been.

I also support families throughout their loved one’s dementia journey by listening without judgement, offering practical guidance and reassurance, and helping them remain involved in decisions about their loved one’s care.

My work has received regional and national recognition, including winning East of England awards for Dementia Carer, Care Assessor and Palliative/End of Life Care. I have also received national finalist and Highly Commended recognition and was invited to join the Dementia Care Awards judging panel for the Creative Nutrition Award. Read less

I have proudly been the Lifestyle Lead at Orchard House for the past seven years and genuinely love creating meaningful experiences for our residents.

I take time to understand each person’s interests, abilities and life story so that our activities feel personal and inclusive. From themed celebrations and entertainment to community outings, intergenerational projects and one-to-one time, my aim is to bring enjoyment, encourage independence and support residents’ wellbeing.

The most rewarding part of my role is seeing residents laugh, build friendships, revisit treasured memories and create new ones. I am proud to help make Orchard House a warm and welcoming home where every resident feels valued, involved and supported to enjoy the things that matter to them. Read less
