Dad had a full care plan in place that was regularly reviewed. We witnessed the high level of care delivered to all the residents, particularly at mealtimes when staff are under a lot of pressure. The care team remained inclusive and alert to balance every individual's needs, always with a smile and friendly chat.
During Dad's end of life care, my family feel blessed to be with my Dad until the end. The professionalism, care and love from all of the RGN's guided us through this sad time with support and ease. Dad was treated with the utmost dignity at all times, and his comfort was the priority, making the right decisions at exactly the right times.

Hello, my name is Karen, and I am acting General Manager here at Juniper House. I started my career as a Registered Nurse in 1985.
I worked for NHS for many years and thoroughly enjoyed working in different departments. Then I left NHS and specialised in palliative care, working in Marie Curie Hospice where I gained a lot of experience of caring for EOL patients.
In 2019, I applied for the role of RGN in Juniper House, with years of experience and expertise in Care Homes, which is very different from other areas of nursing but very rewarding and most enjoyable. Within a few months, I was given the opportunity to become Unit Manager for elderly and Frail and enjoyed leading my team and developing the units to high standards.
In 2021, I applied for the position of Deputy Manager/Clinical Lead, Then in January 2025 I was asked to step up to General Manager to run the home, I am thoroughly enjoying my role and watching Juniper House flourish. I am proud to be a part of a wonderful team
I started at Juniper House in 2012 as a Care Assistant and was promoted to Senior Care Assistant within a month of being there. I was intrigued by the nursing side and was there for selected for the first Cohort to complete the Care Practitioner course in the country. This did not stop me from wanting to go further and the next stop was taking off to Northampton University where I completed a 3 year Nursing degree. Once qualified in May 2021 I had no doubt that I wanted to remain at Juniper House and practice as a qualified Nurse. With being qualified less than a year I applied to be head of Unit for the downstairs floor and was successful and this is where I am now.
Hi, my name is Naomi, I joined Juniper in February 2023 as the Administrator to support Seema our General Manager and Karen our Deputy. I am always on hand if any relatives, residents or co-workers have any questions or need help with anything. I can honestly say I love my job and although I don't have a direct caregiving role to the residents I really enjoy seeing them and talking with them on a daily basis. I have a varied background of finance, administration and customer service. I am a bit of a crazy cat lady and have two feline related diplomas!! In my spare time I volunteer for the Cherwell cats protection. My other hobbies include gardening and swimming, in April 2023 I raised money for the Alzheimer's society by swimming 5 Miles in a month. My office is next to reception so please feel free to pop your head in and say hello.
Hi. I’m Naomi and I’m a Senior Healthcare Assistant at Juniper House. I joined as a Carer in 2013 and was promoted after a year. I have previous experience of domiciliary care, supporting people in their own homes. I have gained experience in the residential and dementia communities here at Juniper House and I am looking forward to doing an NVQ3 in Care. I really enjoy my role, providing care with dignity to help people feel good for the rest of the day. I pay close attention to nutrition and hydration, making sure residents have appetising food and drinks of a consistency that makes it easy to swallow. I love getting to know residents, their backgrounds, their families and their likes and dislikes. It is often the little things that show we care, such as knowing whether an individual likes the radio left on or off, how they like to be referred to, and what little treats make them happy.
