Barchester Hunters Care Home

Hello, I am Ciprian the General Manager of Hunters Care Centre. I joined Barchester in 2018 as a Clinical Lead, progressing to Deputy Manager and then General Manager of Hunters in 2019. I have built a strong and dedicated team and our focus is to provide person-centred care for all residents where they are treated with respect and dignity. I am committed to not only maintaining the highest standards of care but also ensuring residents are living fulfilling lives.

I began my career in nursing over 10 years ago working in A&E. I enjoy working in a care home as I can build relationships with the residents and their families. For anyone considering care for themselves or a loved one, our doors are open for you to visit and meet the team.

“Hello I am Brincy and I am the manager for the general Community at Hunters. My goal is to provide personalised care to all of my residents in a way that puts them at the centre of everything I do. I have transitioned from working in hospitals to care homes as I find that I am able to interact with the residents more and put a smile on their faces.”

Hello, I am Ben and I am the Activities Coordinator at Hunters. I started working at Hunters over three years ago as part of the hospitality team and when the vacancy came up on the activities team I jumped at the opportunity. I have seen how important a varied activities programme is to all our residents and I have an absolute commitment to ensuring we are offering something for everyone including some favourite regular past times as well as new ideas.

Barchester's Life Enrichment Programme focuses on mind, body and soul and this will be the team's aim in all that we offer our residents in terms of regular activities as well as special events.
