Sutton Park Grange

I am passionate about leading the team to deliver high-quality care, ensuring that residents can live well in a safe, kind and respectful environment that will enable independence and enhance the enjoyment of all we have to offer. I believe that families & friends are key to helping us to ensure we do the best for the residents.

I am a registered nurse of 30 years in a variety of specialities such as acute & emergency medicine, quality, falls prevention, stroke both acute & rehabilitation and for the last 10 years working in a large residential, nursing & dementia specialist home (clinical lead then general manager) Since the age of 26 all these roles have been in a leadership & management capacity.

I am a mother of one son and have a grandson, my family is very important to me. I recently got married & we have bought a renovation project in Stafford. In my spare time, I read fictional books and enjoy cross stitch. We also own a motorhome so enjoy exploring.

I manage a great team of care staff supporting them to deliver care that is of the highest standards to our residents. I carry out preadmission assessments for residents wishing to stay at the home and then work with the care team to construct a personalised care plan to meet their needs and deliver the care and support they require. I will then oversee all care delivered within the Home.

I have managed for over 10 years and greatly enjoy working within the care sector. I have supported many Residents and their families and have taken great satisfaction in helping them to settle into their new environments.

I am a Mom of four amazing Sons and a proud Nanny to a beautiful Granddaughter. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring new places with my family. I love all things Marvel and am a massive sci-fi fan. I love a variety of music genres but adore 80’s music and am a massive Elton John fan.

I help families who looking for care for their loved ones but often have no idea of where to start. This can be an emotionally difficult time for the families, and I take my time to understand what their needs are, find out about their relative, the life they have lived and provide them with the relevant details on all aspects of the care we offer. I will then organise the assessment, paperwork & move in, before handing over to our amazing care team who help the residents settle into their new lives here at Sutton Park Grange.

My role as activities coordinator is to organise meaningful activities for the residents which are tailored to dementia where appropriate.
I used to run a surf and yoga retreat in Sri Lanka before moving back to the UK and where I worked in a nursing home as a care assistant and activities coordinator for three years before coming to join the team at Sutton Park Grange.
Out of work I enjoy walking in Sutton Park and practicing Yoga.
I also plays the Handpan and like playing this to the residents too!

My Job Role is to Cook the food for Our Residents and their families if they wish to join us for a meal in our Celebration Room. I plan the menus to meet the resident’s nutritional needs and to suit their likes and dislikes. I order all the food daily. Everything is freshly prepared by myself and my team.

I joined Sutton Park Grange in April 2021. It was their goals and values that made me feel that I wanted to be a part of this team.
I manage all aspects of the housekeeping and laundry which includes maintaining the cleanliness of the home to the highest standards and ensure clothes for residents are cleaned, ironed, and returned in a timely manner. I am also responsible to keep my team up to date will all training especially the COSHH standards.

My overall role is to maintain the home. I carry our routine checks daily, weekly and monthly. I liaise and organise contractors and visits into the home as well as general repairs around the home like decorating and plumbing. I support with most residents move in’s with ensuring the rooms are ready but also helping them make their room their new home with little touches like putting their pictures on the walls.

As a home administrator, I lead the Admin team and deal with the Finance, HR and Administration functions for the home. It is a varied busy role but also highly enjoyable. As the first point of contact for the home, we are here to help in any way we can.

I have a wide range of experience in both the public and private sectors. However, for the last seven years, I have spent in care. Working at the head office of a company that owned homes for adults with learning difficulties and mental health issues and then moved on to be an Administrator in a care home.
