Thorp House Nursing Home

I qualified as a nurse 30 years ago. During the last 30 years, I have worked in many different areas of healthcare but have spent the last 10 years working in a care home. I am passionate about making a difference in people's lives - residents, relatives and the team here at Thorp. I joined the team here at Thorp in February 2024, The home has a fantastic family feel, which I hear every day walking around the home with laughter and fun at the heart of the home. I am looking forward to moving the home from good to outstanding. At home, I love literature and classical music to create a relaxing environment.

However, my great passion is cooking and love to learn to create new dishes for my family and friends to enjoy. Read less

My Career in Healthcare began in 2014 as a newly qualified staff nurse in a specialist Cardio/Thoracic Hospital. I progressed to become a specialist Cardio/Thoracic nurse where I was in charge of a Surgical Ward and High Dependency Unit. In January 2018 I joined Kingsley Healthcare as a staff nurse at Thorp House Nursing Home. This position was very different from my previous job but was very fulfilling as I had the time to deliver person-centered care to the residents who have become like a second family to me. I became the Deputy Manager at Thorp House in August 2019 where I support the home manager in the daily running of the home making sure that the team is delivering high-quality care with compassion and empathy. Read less

My passion for hospitality started while I was studying in Paris, around 25 years ago, I started to work at the legendary Michelin star-graded restaurant named "Au Pied de Cochon". The atmosphere, the teamwork, and the attention to detail designated the path of my life and I continued working in high-level hotels and restaurants. At Thorp House, my key focus is managing the food service operations, working closely with the chef around menu planning and preparation to deliver quality meals to our residents. I absolutely love working at Thorp. Every day is different and brings some new challenges. To see the devotion of the team in bringing the best care to the residents in their day-to-day lives in our nursing home is heart-warming.

In my spare time, I enjoy doing crocheting and puzzle-solving. Read less

I joined Thorp in 2017 as part of the administration team, as a friendly face to welcome residents, family and friends.

Whether that be in person or on the phone. I have over 8 years of experience having worked in insurance previously. I enjoy working at Thorp as it holds family values and is always a warm and welcoming environment.

On my days off I enjoy playing hockey or going for walks and taking on hiking challenges. Read less
