Good day, My name is Marcio and I am one of the Community Lead's here at Chestnut. My role is to make sure all our residents are well supported not just with well being but appointments, medication and paperwork. We really work as a team here and value each of our residents as individuals. 

Hello, my name is Kuldeep Gill, and I have recently joined Barchester at Chestnut Gardens.

 I have previously worked for Crown Courts and Civil Service leading a team where I achieved an Employee Award for Excellent Customer Services.

 I moved on to the Care Sector in 2014, and soon after the Company achieved an ‘Outstanding CQC Report’ and carried  ‘Outstanding’ throughout my working period there.  Working in the Care Sector, not only I gained a lot of experience in the Business Administration, but also learnt that making peoples’ lives happy and meaningful  is such a rewarding accomplishment.

 As a strong believer in positive thinking in workplace, I bring in my years of experience and it is my  pride and joy  to work with such an excellent, passionate and thriving team in a beautiful home.

I am so proud to be part of the Chestnut Gardens team and to be able to make a real difference to the quality of our residents lives. As the Activities Lead, I put our residents well-being at the heart of everything I do. I take pride in the warmth and support i can offer residents and their families. I am proud to promote independence, dignity and quality of life at all times by providing outstanding and person-centred care in a supportive environment here at Chestnut Gardens. 

My career in hospitality and catering started in 1995. I started working as a chef in the care sector for Maria Mallaband where I worked my way up to head Chef. I chose to join Barchester as their standards and expectations are so high. I believe a good chef is an artist and should be able to create delicious and nutritious menus from the local, seasonal produce on offer.

We have a strong passionate team here at Chestnut Gardens and we are looking forward to welcoming our residents to their new home.

Hi, I'm Andrew, Head of Maintenance at Chestnut Gardens Care Home. I take great pride in maintaining our beautiful home, and ensuring it is the most comfortable environment for our residents. No job is too big or too small, and I will always make sure that Chestnut Gardens is your loved ones 'castle'.

Hello, My name is Sadie, I am the Head Housekeeper at Chestnut Gardens. I strive to ensure our home is looking pristine. I respect that this is our residents home, and take pride in making it a beautiful living environment for them all. I lead an excellent team who's high standards and attention to detail keep Chestnut Gardens immaculate at all times. 

My name is Maxine and I am the homes receptionist. I have been part of the team since September 23. Previously I worked with the corporate sector for seven years. Dealing with high profile clients on the frontline service reception desk. Since joining the home I thoroughly enjoy interacting with the residents and their families always trying to resolve and support with anything that may arise. No two days are the same at Chestnut Gardens making it an interesting and fun place to work.

My name is Teodora and I am a Senior Carer at Chestnut Gardens. I am very happy to be working for the residents. I enjoy my work and being able to support people to live a fulfilled life whilst helping to keep them safe. One of my passions is working with people that live with Dementia and I can see myself persuing this as a specialist area in my career moving forward. I like to travel and spend time with my family when I am not at work.

My role as the Hostess for Chestnut Gardens is pivotal. I support not only our residents making sure they have all their hospitality needs. I also help various teams in the home, kitchen and housekeeping to name a few. This means we all work together and like any well oiled machine we work wonderfully well. I used to be the deputy manager of a well known baby store. So I have lots of experience in working in a team. This one i can honestly say is one of the best.
