Barchester Marnel Lodge Care Home

Hi, I am Anju, General Manager of Marnel Lodge Care Home. My team and I look forward to welcoming you into our home. I am a highly motivated, Quality-driven RN working in Marnel since 2017. Focused on efficiency without compromising compassion. In 2019 achieved an appreciation from the North Hampshire Urgent Care Certificate of Commendation in recognition of my exceptional professionalism and commitment to residents' advocacy. I am happy to be a leading part of the Marnel team. I have great enthusiasm, positivity and confidence to effectively lead and supervise the multi-disciplinary team to achieve the set targets.

I am a dedicated and compassionate nursing professional with over 10 years of experience in the healthcare industry. I joined Marnel in August 2021. My journey in nursing has been guided by a profound commitment to patient care and a relentless pursuit of excellence in every aspect of my practice. I believe in the core values of nursing passion, empathy, integrity and advocacy. I am committed to providing person-centred care that respects the dignity and individuality of each resident.

As a deputy manager with a profound passion for nursing and a heartfelt dedication to the well-being of elderly residents, I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate and comprehensive care.

Throughout my journey as a nurse, I have consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to improving the quality of life for those in my care. Beyond my clinical skills, I pride myself on my ability to connect with patients and their families, understanding their unique needs and tailoring my approach to suit each individual. My goal is to create a nurturing and safe environment where our residents feel valued and cherished.

As a nurse, I am continually learning and adapting, staying abreast of the latest in geriatric care to provide the best outcomes. Caring for the elderly is not just my profession, it is my passion and my life’s work. I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of those I serve and look forward to continuing this rewarding journey.

An enthusiastic and hardworking individual who has 8 years of experience in nursing and dementia care. I give my best to deliver person-centred care to those I support and meet their needs with the passion and commitment they deserve.

I am a pragmatic nurse with over nine years of experience in adult nursing. I have been working with the Marnel Lodge team since 2022. I am dedicated to my job, making sure every resident I come into contact with gets the very best of my clinical, empathetic and person-centred care.

I joined the team in April 2021, and my role is to look after the home’s finances and administration. I have worked in administration for over 20 years, and here at Marnel, I lead a team of 2 lovely ladies. Tasks related to administration are very important to keeping a business running efficiently. Having the responsibility to complete tasks on time and in a quality manner without much oversight is crucial and really rewarding for me personally.

This is my first role in a care home, and I am loving getting to know the residents and their families. I interact with the residents on a daily basis, and you will often find me singing and dancing in one of the lounges when we have entertainers in, and I am happy to join them on trips out. My door is always open, and I am always happy to help.

I am the Head of Maintenance here at Marnel Lodge. Previously, I was a Maintenance Manager for a company that cared for people with learning difficulties and autism. I covered 12 properties in and around Basingstoke, maintaining them so they were a safe and secure place to live for our residents.
While I worked there, I learned that doing just the smallest thing can make a big impact on the residents' lives.

I strive to bring the same mentality to my position here at Marnel and will try my hardest to make sure the lives of our residents are as comfortable and homely as possible.

I recently joined the Activities Team at Marnel Lodge as an Activity Coordinator, bringing with me previous experience in similar roles. I am a trained Holistic Creative Therapy Practitioner, a TimeSlips Certified Facilitator, and a Green Dementia Care Practitioner. I draw on these skills to create meaningful, person-centred experiences that enrich the lives of our residents.

I am committed to working collaboratively with residents, their families, and the wider Marnel team to deliver engaging and purposeful activities that foster a positive, supportive, and vibrant home environment.

Hi, my name is Symoun and I am the head chef here at Marnel Lodge. I joined Barchester in 2022 working in a sister Barchester home before moving to Marnel Lodge. Before that, I worked for a fine dining restaurant which is where I gained my skills and confidence. I love being able to make our residents happy through the love of food and take pride in every dish.
