My Name is May Sanda, I started at Adlington Manor in February 2019 I have been a Unit Manager since June 2022.

Hi, My name is Adrian Stoian, I joined Adlington Manor in February 2019.

My name is Aderonke Mercy, one of the registered Nurses in Adlington Manor, I have worked as a Nurse here in the home for a little over two fabulous years.

In these years I have been given the opportunity to provide care for residents as an individual as the home is about respecting individual choices and supporting them to live happily.

The team at the home is made up of fabulous and passionate people who over the years have offered the support needed for me to transition and blend into a new environment which is the utmost concern about moving to a new country away from home.

The two years have enabled me to witness and be a part of a tremendous contribution by the team towards the care of residents and also the shared happy moments with both residents and their relatives.

The joy that comes with these tiny but life-changing events in the home shared by relatives has also been a great motivation to keep working and assisting residents while allowing them the freedom to be their selves.

I hope that I continue to impact lives in the home providing care day after day and providing colleagues with the support required and that the residents have their faces lit up with a smile when they see me.

I was born and raised in the Philippines. After I passed my nursing license exam, I worked in a business process outsourcing company for more than 5 years until I decided to practice my profession, I worked as a community nurse for 2 years and as an operating room nurse.

I have joined the Barchester Healthcare – Adlington Manor Care Home since December 2021, and I have realized I made the right choice. Joining the team, helped build my confidence, and met a lot of wonderful people who are lovely and fabulous. I did not know in myself that I could lead a team, and I am lucky to have very supportive management and colleagues.

More than this, I became more passionate about what I do and how important mental health is. Looking after the elderly people and making a positive difference in their lives has a different kind of fulfilment.

After 30 years in construction and a further 10 years in Facilities management, I came to Adlington Manor in January 2022, as Head of Maintenance.

My role is to ensure that all aspects of the whole site, are maintained to the highest standards and to the complete satisfaction of residents, their families and the staff that work here.
