Marion Lauder House

Buster is a very much loved and well-known character at Marion Lauder house to all residents and families he is part of our family here. You may see Buster moving around the home greeting families at reception or lying in the lounge with residents.

Pet therapy in care homes can increase social interaction not just with the animals but also between other residents. It gives residents something to look forward to, comment on and discuss together in a way that often helps to break down barriers.

Interacting with pet animals can unlock hidden memories of cats, dogs and other creatures that may have been part of the lives of elderly residents in the past. Even when these former encounters can’t be put into words, their joy can often be seen in participants’ faces.

I have worked at Marion Lauder since May 2021; it is a joy for me to travel to work. The company holds values that I believe in, one being, are our residents happy? My answer is “yes”.

That is because we have an excellent activities approach and staff in which, some have worked here for 15 years or more.

As the Manager, I am responsible for assisting the Regional Manager and Directors in maintaining an excellent environment for both residents and staff to be part of. I will walk around the home daily; chatting with residents and staff to see if there are any areas of concern. I will resolve them if I can.

I monitor the home's housekeeping; I am also our Infection Control and Safeguarding Lead.

The home offers excellent training and career progression for staff to participate in if they wish to do so. The team at Marion Lauder are very supportive and I have a very good working relationship with all.

I receive job satisfaction, as I am able to make a positive impact on people’s lives and always seek to drive continuous improvement in any area of care that I have worked in.
