Marian House Nursing Home

I have been a Registered General Nurse for over 20 years. I have a BSc Hons in Health Studies, NVQ Level 5 in Leadership and Management and Mentorship in Nursing Practice. I have also completed Lead to Succeed and Rise programme with My Home Life England. I worked in the NHS in various settings for 10 years and then started work in the Care Sector in 2012.

At Marian House, we have a wonderful team, and I am a firm believer that when you have a happy staff team, the positivity spreads to everyone.

We receive lots of positive feedback about how caring and friendly the staff are, and that the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We focus on getting to know your loved ones to ensure we deliver person-centred care with family and friends’ involvement.

It is so lovely to hear the laughter in the corridors when staff and the people that we support are interacting with one another. There is a strong ethos here to treat people how you would like to be treated yourself, encouraging independence, individual choice and preferences.

We are always here to help with any questions or queries you may have. We look forward to welcoming you to our home

I have been a qualified nurse for 8 years and I joined Marian House in 2021 as a Nurse. I progressed into my Clinical Lead Role in 2023.

I am very passionate about ensuring our residents receive person-centred care and love being able to make a difference in our residents' lives, spending time listening and talking to them.

Part of my role is the responsibility for Medication Management, a field that I am equally enthusiastic about, as this is an imperative part of us delivering the excellent and safe care we pride ourselves on.

I joined Marian House in November 2017, originally as an Administrator and soon became Office Manager.
I have a great relationship with all of our residents and their family members.
I might be the first person you meet at the door or the first person to take your call if enquiring. I will always try my best to help you, wherever I can.

Louise has recently joined the team here at Marian House and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. Louise loves cooking for others and seeing the enjoyment that eating tasty and nutritious food brings. Louise leads the Kitchen team by example by keeping high standards.

Michelle leads the domestic team, maintaining high standards whilst trying to make it home from home. Michelle loves to interact with those that we care for, getting to know them and their preferences.

I joined this great team in April 2021 as a care assistant, progressing to Senior Carer later that year. I took the role of Lead Activity Coordination in March 2024 after helping out with activities and finding that I loved the job and wanted to do it permanently.

Before joining Marian House, I worked as a Care Coordinator for a domiciliary care company as well as a dispenser in a pharmacy. I worked at both for several years before deciding to move over to nursing care.

I have found a passion for End-of-life care as well as Dignity in care. I have done a lot of training on these subjects which aids me in providing this care for the residents here at Marian House. I have just qualified in my NVQ Level 4 in Lead Adult Care, which I am very proud of. I love my job and thoroughly enjoy bringing joy and smiles to the resident's faces and lives, as well as coming up with new ideas and finding entertainment groups for the home.

Outside of work, my husband and I and our dog spend a lot of time outside, whether it be in the garden, gardening and looking after our pond, or going out for walks around our local Park. I enjoy playing the guitar, and my dad and I have regular jamming sessions, to our neighbour's dismay.

Tash has been part of the Marian House team since early 2024. Tash says the part of being at Marian House is getting to know the people that we support. Tash loves to spend quality time with them and get to hear stories from the past.

Emmanuel is a favourite amongst the team and also among the people we support. His quiet and reassuring manner brings comfort to those who need it. He shows dedication and commitment every day and ensures that everyone is safe and happy.

Jay has worked in care for nearly 30 years and loves to support not only the people we care for but also reach out to their families, especially during the transition when moving into a care setting from home. He is there to offer reassurance, a listening ear and advocate on behalf of those who may not feel they have a voice.
