Chertsey Parklands Manor Care Home - Avery Collection

I’m originally from Slovakia, with Slovak and Hungarian roots, and I 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. Read less

I am a dedicated Clinical Lead with more than 30 years of nursing experience and over 15 years of leadership within healthcare. I began my nursing career in Slovakia, specialising in respiratory care, before relocating to the UK, where I have built an extensive and rewarding career in nursing homes and elderly care.

Since joining the home environment in 2014, I have progressed from Senior Nurse to Clinical Lead. In my current role, I oversee all aspects of clinical care, ensuring every resident receives safe, compassionate, and person-centred support. I am passionate about mentoring and developing my team, maintaining the highest clinical standards, and working closely with residents, families, and healthcare professionals to deliver outstanding care.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Nursing and am committed to continuous professional development. I regularly undertake advanced training in leadership, safeguarding, dementia care, end-of-life care, diabetes management, and clinical governance, ensuring my knowledge and practice remain at the forefront of the profession.

At the heart of my approach is the belief that every resident deserves to feel valued, respected, and supported to live life to the fullest. My dedication, expertise, and compassionate leadership help create a positive environment where residents and colleagues alike can thrive.

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, swimming, cycling, and reading.

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.

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. Read less

I started working for Chertsey Parklands Manor Care Home when it first opened in 2018 and worked in Reception. I then moved to work in the community in Supported Living with young adults with Learning Disabilities and caring for people with challenging behaviour as an Assistant Manager. I returned to Parklands in 2025 as the Head Housekeeper. I have always loved the environment here. I am creative and hardworking. I have always been a people person and enjoy being part of a caring environment and team. I enjoy the residents' company and finding out more about their interesting stories and lives. Read less

I am the Head Chef at Chertsey Parklands, with over 16 years of experience as a professional chef. My passion for working within the care sector comes from a very personal place. After caring for a loved one who sadly passed away, I felt a strong calling to give something back and to make a genuine difference in people’s lives.

My journey began as a carer before I retrained as a chef, which has shaped the way I approach food and care today. I understand how much comfort, reassurance, and happiness a good meal can bring—especially to those who may be vulnerable or living away from home. For me, food is far more than nutrition; it is dignity, familiarity, and a powerful way of showing care.

I take great pride in creating meals that are not only nutritious and well-balanced but also comforting, enjoyable, and full of flavour. Seeing residents smile, reminisce, or simply enjoy a meal is what motivates me every single day. Their well-being and quality of life are always at the heart of everything I do in the kitchen.

One of my proudest achievements was being nominated for an in-house MasterChef competition, where I was selected among the top six chefs within a large organisation. Before moving into catering, I began my professional career in IT and hold a master’s degree, which supports my structured, thoughtful, and high-standard approach to kitchen leadership.

I am passionate about leading my team with kindness, consistency, and pride, and about creating a dining experience where residents feel respected, cared for, and truly at home. Read less
