Barchester Wilton Place Care Home

Hello, my name is Antoinette, and I am the General Manager at Wilton Place.

I have been managing in luxury care homes now for over 13 years and I am passionate about delivering fantastic care, within beautiful environments. I have over 25 years of management experience in the care sector.

Here at Wilton Place, our residents are able to access a full suite of life-enriching activities as well as continuing their lives as part of the wider community in Wilton.

I look forward to welcoming you to our home, to come and see everything that we have to offer and to enjoy a slice of homemade cake (or two) over a cup of tea with me and my team.

Emma has worked with luxury care providers for the last 15 years. She started her career as a Senior Carer, progressed to Dementia Care Manager and now to Deputy Manager here at Wilton Place. She is proud of her NVQ 5 qualification. Her passion is working with those living with dementia and all the rewards this brings hence her being one of our 'Dementia Champions'. Her passion for the residents living in our Memory Lane community shines through with every interaction. She is dedicated and hard-working and an asset to our team.

I joined the Wilton team at the beginning of 2024 following a career in education. I love getting to know our residents and their families, and I enjoy planning and delivering a comprehensive activities programme which not only supports their interests but also introduces new opportunities and challenges. There is nothing better than seeing the residents’ smiles and hearing their laughter. I am also a dedicated Dementia Champion. I'm on hand to offer help, guidance and practical solutions to families who need additional support.

Rebecca has worked in the private healthcare sector for 16 years. She is the go-to for all things admin-related and, as such, has built firm relationships with our residents and their families.

Jas is a Senior Carer and our Community Lead.

She has worked in the care industry for 10 years and joined the Wilton Place family in 2023.

She bought with her experience in specialist dementia care and a passion for exceptional, compassionate care for our residents.

Jas also supports residents' families, she is a friendly and approachable team member.

I’m the Head Housekeeper here at Wilton Place. I have a wealth of housekeeping knowledge and have worked in the industry for over 15 years. My team and I enjoy engaging with our residents and learning about their lives, whilst attending to their housekeeping and laundry needs. I am the home's Infection Prevention & Control Champion.

Hello, being part of the Wilton Place team is great, everyone is so friendly and kind. I've previously worked as a Maintenance Supervisor in a senior school and enjoyed seeing the young people achieve and progress. It's rewarding to maintain this beautiful home for our residents who deserve the very best, they are welcoming and amiable and a joy to engage with each day. I am the home's Health & Safety Champion.

Hello, I'm the Head Chef here at Wilton Place. I have been part of the Barchester family for 19 years.
I've always loved baking - birthday cakes, afternoon tea spreads and cheese and wine evenings are some of my favourite things to prepare.

I love getting to know each resident, learning their favourite meals and creating dishes that bring comfort and joy.

Wilton Place is a beautiful home, and I am proud to be part of the team.

Grace is one of our Senior Carers.

She has a wealth of experience and expertise in the care industry and is passionate about the bespoke, person-centred care she delivers.

She is positive and solution-focused, a calm, warm and welcoming presence in our home, supporting residents, families and staff alike.

I have been within the care industry for 15 years, my background is Neuro rehabilitation caring for patients with traumatic brain injuries and neurological conditions. However in the last 10 years I have found myself working in dementia care. Each day is filled with laughter and heart-warming experiences not one day is the same. I’m lucky not everyone can say they enjoy their job but working within dementia care is an enjoyable career.

Tash brings 17 years of care experience to Wilton Place. "I am passionate about my role and enjoy getting to know our residents and their families. Being a member of the team is such a positive experience, everyone is always smiling and happy to help".

Julie joined Wilton Place when it first opened and has been an integral part of the team ever since. Her background is in care in the community but she is also a qualified hairdresser so manages the dedicated hair salon for the residents.

"I have been at Wilton Place since the opening in December 2022 and have not looked back.

Wilton Place is a beautiful home and the team is lovely but most of all the residents are happy and as a team member that's all I could ask for."

I am also part of the Activities team. I am passionate about resident inclusion, enabling our residents to feel independent and purposeful. I seek opportunities to ensure residents continue with their hobbies and interests and also discover new ones.

I have worked in customer-facing roles for the last 16 years and enjoyed the interaction that working with the public brings. I’m grateful for the opportunity to engage with the residents here, it’s so rewarding to see them thriving and happy, they are lovely and would put a smile on anyone’s face. The staff are very friendly and helpful which makes Wilton place such a great environment to work in.
