Chertsey Parklands Manor Care Home - Avery Collection

I’m originally from Slovakia, with Slovak and Hungarian roots, and moved to England in 2002. Though I studied Economics, Management, Marketing, and Accountancy, I found my passion in care, inspired by my mother, a former intensive care nurse and day centre manager.

I’ve worked in the care sector since 2005, progressing from Care Worker to Registered Manager in 2011. I’ve managed various services, including private, not-for-profit, and social services settings, as well as two domiciliary agencies. My qualifications include Level 5 in Health and Social Care, Level 3 in Dementia Leadership and Palliative Care, and Level 2 in Mental Health and Nutrition.

After five years at Esher Manor/Avery, I transferred to Cliveden Manor/Avery in August 2023. I joined the Chertsey Parklands team in September 2025.

I have extensive experience as a nurse and care leader, having worked across a range of roles including Nurse, Deputy Manager, Home Manager, and Nurse Manager. My background has given me a strong foundation in both hands-on clinical practice and the strategic management skills required to lead safe, effective, and compassionate care services.

I am passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care and ensuring strong clinical governance throughout every aspect of service delivery. I take pride in supporting and developing staff teams, improving compliance, and driving positive outcomes for residents.

Throughout my career, I have remained committed to professionalism, integrity, and creating environments where both residents and colleagues feel respected, valued, and empowered.

My focus is on continuous improvement and ensuring that every individual receives the dignity, respect, and level of care they deserve.

My name is Lynn, and I’m proud to be part of the Chertsey Parklands family. My journey into care started many years ago. I have worked in various roles, and it has shaped the way I see people, purpose, and community. I have been a carer in the community, a care assistant in a home, a team leader med tech, a Senior Carer, a Residential care manager, and a home trainer, but have found my passion in the business side of the care sector.

Every day in our home reminds me why I’m here. I get to support incredible residents who have lived extraordinary lives, people who have taught me about resilience, laughter, patience, and love. Whether I’m supporting a resident with an invoice or having a morning chat with a resident, I’m reminded that small moments often make the biggest difference.

Working in care isn’t just a job for me, it’s a calling. I believe everyone deserves dignity, connection, and joy at every stage of life and being able to help create that, one smile, one story, one gentle moment at a time, is something I’m deeply grateful for.
Thank you for following our journey. I look forward to sharing more of the meaningful moments we experience here at Chertsey Parklands, where every day is an opportunity to show compassion and celebrate the people who came before us.

I am a mother of three and have been with Chertsey Parklands Manor since 2019 starting out as a housekeeping assistant. Being supported by management and colleagues I have now been promoted to Housekeeping supervisor. I am proud to be part of the amazing Parklands team and excited about the new challenges my role will bring.
