A fantastically relaxed, caring, kind and considerate team in a really well presented and maintained environment; Exactly what is needed for the residents at this time of life, where people are treated with kindness, respect and dignity in a safe and warm environment. As a visitor I am welcomed with the same kindness. The residents are equally friendly, kind and relaxed which is possibly the best demonstration of how wonderful this care home really is.

The care my mother has received so far has been excellent. My mother is in for respite care (2 or 3 weeks) after suffering a broken hip and every member of staff has gone above and beyond the call of duty. The home itself is spotless, the food is superb and the facilities are second to none. 10/10.

When I returned, Mum was sitting with a drink & was in wonderful spirits. She told me she had had a lovely few hours doing chair physio, chatting with others, & enjoying the warm & friendly atmosphere. She even stayed for lunch, which said so much about how relaxed, comfortable, & cared for she felt. Seeing her so content was incredibly comforting. Mum will definitely be going again, & she is already looking forward to the other events she can attend. I am so grateful to the staff for the kindness, warmth, & genuine care they showed Mum. Thank you Care UK.

My husband stayed for respite care. All the staff were friendly, helpful and very professional. His medication was administered at the correct times. He enjoyed taking part in the activities and in particular the drive out in the minibus. He made some good friends and enjoyed his chats. His room was spotlessly clean and spacious. He was quite emotional when I picked him up and had lots of hugs and kisses saying goodbye. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

Hi, I’m Claudiu. I qualified as a General Nurse in 2015 in my home country of Romania. Before joining Care UK, I worked as a Deputy Manager in a 78-bed nursing home. I was impressed by Care UK’s structure and its values, which closely align with my own.
I believe a Home Manager should be reliable, proactive, supportive and a good listener. My favourite part of the day is seeing the difference our team makes to residents’ lives and knowing that we are making a positive impact every day.
One of my biggest career highlights was commissioning and registering a new care home with the CQC. I’m proudest when I see residents happy, safe and feeling part of our big family, as well as seeing team members develop and succeed.
The most important part of my role is ensuring residents are always treated with dignity and respect, while making sure team members feel listened to and supported to make a real difference to residents’ lives.
Outside of work, I enjoy football, travelling and spending time with my family.
