I entered Barchester The Fernes on the 27th July this year. I was welcomed on my arrival and installed in my chosen room. It was beautifully set out very much to my liking. The staff are good and make me feel very much at home. My surgical needs are instantly dealt with, the food is excellent and very much to my liking and choice. At night it is so reassuring to know there is someone on hand if you feel unwell.

Hello, my name is Alina, and I am the General Manager at The Fernes Care Home. My team and I look forward to welcoming you into our home.
I have a background in HR, IT, and finance, but I decided to pursue a career in healthcare when I moved to the UK in 2015. My first experience with the residents I supported had a profound impact on me, and it changed my perspective on life. It made me realise the difference that good care and compassion can make in a person's life.
In my previous roles, I spent most of my time in an office, surrounded only by my computer, paperwork, and occasional phone calls. But in my current role, I take home with me the smiles, hugs, and happiness of the residents I care for. It is the greatest reward.
Since starting my career in healthcare, I have continued to develop my skills and knowledge. I have achieved Level 2 and Level 3 in Adult Care, a distinction in Dementia Care, and a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership of Health and Social Care Adults with distinction. I am an adaptable person with good business acumen and a positive attitude.
As a passionate healthcare professional, I am committed to leading my team in delivering outstanding care to our residents. I practice an open-door policy for residents, relatives, and staff, as they are at the heart of what we do at The Fernes.

My learning and development were recognised in 2023 when I was the South Division's Learner of the Year.

I look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful home.

Hi, my name is Justyna, and I am Community Care Lead here at The Fernes. I actually started my journey here at Barchester as a housekeeper in 2019, but soon realised my passion was within the care side of the home. I worked hard to progress from Carer to Community Care Lead by completing my NVQ’s within the company. I work mainly on our Memory Lane unit, and I am also Dementia Champion. As a Care Community Lead, I am responsible for overseeing the clinical and care delivery within the home. I take pride in maintaining high standards of quality, compliance, and person-centred care, while nurturing a positive and inclusive culture among my team. I am approachable and supportive; I actively encourage learning, reflection, and team development. I strive to lead by example, balancing professionalism with warmth and empathy in every interaction with residents, families, and staff.

I have been working in care for the majority of my work life, I started in domiciliary care and then made the move to The Fernes Care Home. I have progressed from Carer to Senior Carer and jumped at the opportunity to become the Activities Coordinator. I am outgoing and creative so find this role much more suited to me.
I enjoy planning all the fun and meaningful activities which are enriching the residents' lives. As I have worked my way up at The Fernes, I feel I know our residents very well and love to meet new faces, getting to know them and help them to meet new friends. Spending quality time with residents and seeing them relaxed, smiling and happy is the most rewarding part of the role.

My name is Mark. I started at The Fernes in 2025. Previously, I was a Facilities manager at various secondary schools. This has given me the opportunity to expand on my skill set in different areas of maintenance and Health and Safety. I am very into motorcycles, so much so that I own 3! In my spare time, I am either riding my bike or oil painting. No job is too big or small; my priority is ensuring the residents are safe and happy in their homes.

My name is Grazia, I’m super excited to introduce myself as the Head Chef at The Fernes.
I grew up in Sardinia where my passion for cooking was born. Professionally I have 30 years of experience, initially working in Sardinia before moving to London as a Pastry Chef. Cooking is my passion; I strive to be the best I can and so in 2019 I joined a care home in order to become the complete Chef that I am today. I have been with Barchester for the last 3 years where, in order to progress my career, I was given the opportunity to successfully complete my Chef Academy. I love cats and I have 4, they are my babies. If I’m not at work you will tending to my garden or shopping!!

Hello, my name is Sophie,
I have been working within the care sector for over 30 years and have enjoyed many different aspects within that time, including personal one-to-one home care, domiciliary and nursing, etc.
I joined Barchester Healthcare in 2021 and have enjoyed a few different roles here at The Fernes, one of which was activities coordinator.
My passion is helping our residents feel at home and as independent as possible and, most of all, happy.
I take great pride in my work and our home and love welcoming residents and their families and friends old and new.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, my dog (who is a cockapoo named Alfie) and my new love of gardening.
