Park View Nursing Home

My name is Alex, and my job role is Administrator at Parkview nursing home. I feel very proud and honoured to be part of the Kingsley healthcare family. I have over 14 years of experience in administration and payroll. I love working within the nursing home environment as I feel I am serving our community which is something I love to do. No two days are the same when you are an administrator at a nursing home and this is what I love and enjoy.

Lee Stephenson Staff member's job title: Lead activities & lifestyle coordinator Staff member's profile info: I have worked in the care sector as a carer for 9 years before joining the Kingsley family in 2022. After a short time in my carer role here at Park View, I transitioned in to my role of Lead activities & Lifestyle coordinator. My passion is to ensure that our residents are maintaining a happy, active and healthy lifestyle and most importantly, inclusion. Park View certainly has a ‘home from home’ feel and its leafy settings inspire my love for arts, drawing and the great outdoors.

Having left school at 16, I went to Catering College where I qualified as a Chef, some 17 years ago.

I initially worked in restaurants where I gained a great deal of experience before joining Park View in January 2022, not long after it opened. I was delighted to be promoted to Head Chef in January 2025.

I am passionate about what I do and believe that residents should receive fresh home-made nutritious meals prepared to the high standard you would expect in a restaurant. I always enjoy chatting with residents and getting feedback on what they enjoy, which helps me plan and prepare menus.

In my spare time, I play football and golf. I am in a golf society with older people and enjoy trips away with them.

I joined Park View in January 2022, following the opening of the home in November 2021. At that time the home only had 7 residents.

Prior to joining Park View I worked in Credit Control for over 17 years but, due to personal circumstances, decided I wanted a career change so, with no experience of the care sector I took the post at Park View and had to learn as I went along and get an understanding about the funding process.

I love working in the home and it has been wonderful getting to know all the families and residents over the years and understand their needs.

I spend a lot of my spare time taking my children to their various activities. I am also renovating our new home which also takes a lot of my time but I also love socialising and enjoying family time away.

I have over 9 years’ experience working in care homes and have previously worked as a Housekeeper and Supervisor. I joined Park View 3 years ago and was delighted to be promoted to Head Housekeeper 12 months ago.

I have high standards and know how important it is that the home is always kept clean and tidy for the benefit of residents and visitors as well as for the staff team working in the home.

I enjoy working in the care sector. It is lovely chatting with the residents in the home and getting to know them.

In her spare to, she enjoys taking her children to their various activities from football to dance as well as relaxing and socialising with family and friends.
