Patricia Alton

General Manager

Hello! My name is Trish and I am the General Manager here at Henford House.

My goal is to ensure that all of our residents and their families and visitors feel comfortable and can enjoy being in this beautiful and welcoming environment; and that the staff feel fully supported to perform at their very best.

I began my career as a Speech and Language Therapist, working with adults in hospitals, care homes and in the community. Having moved into leadership and management has provided me the opportunity to drive high standards of care and ensure that people are valued as individuals. I am committed to continuing with these goals in line with the high standards and superior lifestyle delivered throughout Barchester.

The highlight of my work is spending time with the people we support, and I am always available to have a chat about our home, services, staff, and most importantly, our residents.

Victoria Sunders

Deputy Manager

I joined the team in October 2020 and was promoted to Deputy Manager in 2021.

I look forward to working with you all and my door is always open if you would like to discuss any clinical concerns you may have

Irina Voroneanu

Clinical Lead

I have worked in Henford House as a nurse since 2014. I am usually found working on days and my husband Daniel works at Henford at night. I have recently been promoted to Clinical Lead, which I am very proud of. I support the nurses and the carers on duty.

I am always happy to help out with any questions you may have about your loved ones here. I am in regular contact with the doctors and pharmacies to ensure medications are checked regularly, and our residents are healthy. I originally came from Romania and can speak fluent Italian.

Clinical Lead - Nights

I am one of the clinical leads at Henford House and have worked here a number of years. I know the residents well. I work on the nights shifts mostly, but do carry out one day shift a fortnight so the residents can recognise me. I support the nursing and care staff and am available for residents and their family members to chat to and get information from. I have a young son and l daughter who keep my home life busy!

Team Leader

I have worked at Henford House since 1996 and enjoy my job immensely — I find it very rewarding. I started as a Care Assistant and, over the years, I have gained my NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Care, and then I was promoted to Team Leader. I am now progressing on to become a Care Practitioner.

Sarah Hornal

Administrator

I have been working at Henford House now for 10 years starting off as a domestic assistant, having also worked in the kitchen, laundry then as a carer. I have finally worked my way up to become the home administrator, which I feel very settled in. I am able to have the daily interaction with the residents at the same time as doing a job I love.

Debbie Phillips

Activities Coordinator

I joined Henford House in March 2014; after five and a half years of domiciliary care, this position became available at Henford and I decided that it would be great to do more of the fun things in life with residents! It is great here at the home; we get along so well and truly have some laughs. Residents have a wide range of activities to participate in each week, including armchair exercises, bingo sessions, singalongs, musical entertainment, pottery, manicures, celebrations and much more. It is very rewarding knowing that people are grateful for the work I've done when I go. Working here has also given me the opportunity to gain my Level 2 NAPA certificate.

I’ve worked at Henford since June 2015 as the head of our small maintenance team. We make sure that the home is an attractive and safe environment for all of our wonderful staff and residents.
