Barchester Parley Place Care Home

Hello. My name is Gina and I am the General Manager here at Parley Place. Welcome to our website.

Originally from South Africa where I was a nurse for many years, I have been living in Dorset for the past 20 years. Since arriving in the UK I have had the privilege of supporting nursing and residential homes, leading outstanding teams to ensure safe, excellent and person-centred care is delivered to our customers.

My passion and vision for Parley Place is that all who live and work in our home will feel valued, loved and included. That we will build good, strong relationships together ensuring an ethos of trust, openness, honesty and fulfilled lives.

I have worked in the care industry for 5 years, I am so happy to be in the Parley Place team. Barchester hold very high standards which is why I am proud to be here to support our residents and be able to develop my career and support the team. Having been here since the day we opened I have progressed to my role now as Deputy Manager and I'm excited to support the home as it continues its growth. I have a great insight into the needs of the team and residents which gives me the opportunity to ensure we embrace the whole team approach to the care and dedication we show to our residents.

My name is Sharon and I've worked in the care industry for a few years now, I ensure that our residents have their medication and their daily needs are met, this includes their social needs so I always make time to chat and hear how someone is feeling that day.

I joined the Parley Place family in August and I'm really excited to start building the community aspects of the home for our residents and the local community.

I am passionate about the quality care we will provide under Tracey and Kailiegh's guidance. I will be working closely with our activities coordinator to ensure there are lots of choices for things to do for our residents.

I'm pleased to be here at Parley Place as their Administrator.

Being an administrator is the hub of the home so I get to know residents and relatives as well as the whole Parley team. I really enjoy being able to help everyone and am looking forward to welcoming our new families to the home soon

It's a beautiful home and the gardens have so many area's and potential it's a really exciting job.
