Meet the Milford House Care Home Team

Juliana is a RN with 6 years of experience at St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey and is now looking to support General Manager, Aga and the wider team in her role as Deputy Manager.  Having been involved with patients in a hospital setting she has now translated her experience of working with the elderly into a care setting.  Juliana loves getting to know our residents and working with them and their families and with the teams in the home to provide them with the best possible experience.

When not at work Juliana loves nothing more than spending time with her family and fitting in her other passions which are travel and ballet which she has done for 10 years.

Louise is a very long-standing member of our staff team and has already celebrated an amazing 25 years at Milford and counting! Louise is dedicated to ensuring that she and her team provide the best possible care for the residents that are in their care.

Jane is joining our Activity Team as a new challenge in her career path. She comes to Milford with a wealth of life experience and is looking forward to being a part of the team delivering outstanding activities for our residents. 

Jane is Dorset born and bred and moved to Salisbury in 1987 and lives just around the corner. She loves quizzes, arts and crafts, creating events and will happily have a dance - so she will fit right in! 

Adrian joins the Milford team with over 40 years of experience in similar roles and will be focused on providing and maintaining the best possible living environment for our residents.

Adrian is a long-time Salisbury resident and, when not at work, can be found walking his dogs, gardening and indulging his hobby of super cars. The latter has us quite excited as we look forward to being whisked away in a sleek sports car!   

Kelly has worked at Milford House since 2006 in a variety of roles and is now a full time member of the office team. She is a fountain of knowledge concerning all things Milford and if we don't know where to find something or what to do, she usually has the answers! When not at Milford, Kelly likes to take the odd quick trip to Spain to recharge her batteries, and her favourite Milford job is organising the Christmas party.

Catherine has recently celebrated 30 years working at Milford House and, with her wealth of experience, is focused on delivering person-centred care to the residents she looks after.  

Catherine loves what she does and can't imagine doing anything else, and we are delighted she feels this way as we can't imagine Milford House without her!

Our Senior Carer, Esther, has been an integral part of the Milford House team since 2019.  

As an experienced team member, Esther is dedicated to giving her absolute best to the residents that she looks after and to supporting her colleagues around the home.  

When not at work, Esther loves travelling and exploring and brings these wonderful experiences back to the home.

With 11 years of experience in the maintenance field Gary has joined Milford House to support the Maintenance Manager in ensuring that everything in the home runs smoothly and is kept looking nice. Gary was previously at our sister home The Cedars just down the road and so has not moved far to join the team.

With 22 years of experience as an RN, five of which have been at Milford, Josipa is excited to be taking up the role of Clinical Lead. With a passion for elderly care, Josipa will be bringing all her skills to the role and will be supporting residents, their families, staff teams and visiting professionals in her role. 

She says there is nothing she wants more than to work to ensure that the residents we look after receive the best possible care and support and to bring a smile to their faces.

Josipa lives in Salisbury and when not at work is busy supporting her family and so says she really has two full-time jobs and loves them both!

With 10 years of prior experience in an Administrator role we are delighted that Catriona has joined our office team.  Catriona loves working in the care environment and getting to know residents and their families and supporting them in whatever way she can. She can be found in our front office and is always available to answer any queries.

We are delighted that, with over 15 years of experience in the kitchen here at Milford House, Becky has taken on the role of Head Chef. Her cakes are legendary and eagerly looked forward to on a daily basis and Becky is excited to be leading her team in providing good nutritious food for our residents.

When not at home, Becky, who is a Salisbury local, enjoys nothing more than spending time with family and friends.    

Liang has been at Milford for 14 years and has been a key part of the domestic team prior to being appointed Head Housekeeper.  Liang says that he likes everything about his job and is committed to ensuring that he and the laundry and domestic teams provide an excellent service to our residents.  Since coming from China, Liang and his family have always lived in Salisbur  and when not at Milford Liang enjoys taking them to explore different parts of the UK.

Ann is one of our Senior Sisters as well as one of our longest serving staff members having worked as part of the night team for 28 years. Ann has always worked nights and says that days have never tempted her as, in her role as Senior Night Sister, she gets to know all the residents in the home, can help wherever needed and is very hands on. Ann has a wealth of experience and is a hugely valued member of our Milford family and thankfully for us has no plans to retire any time soon!

Karen has been at Milford for over 20 years and is one of our Senior Carers.  

Karen loves building up a rapport with the residents she looks after, getting to know them and their families so that she can deliver real person-centred care, bringing to everything she does a wealth of experience.  

Karen says she loves coming to work and being with what she calls her second family.

Gale joined the Milford team in 2019, initially as a carer but has gradually transferred over to the Activities Team where she is now the full time Coordinator. Gale has a passion to create a comprehensive and inclusive programme of vibrant events for residents, family
members and friends to enjoy and, along with the rest of team, ensure that each resident is able to participate in meaningful activities tailored to their likes and dislikes.

Originally from South Africa, when not at work Gale loves nothing more than exploring the UK, catching up with family and friends, being creative across a variety of disciplines and keeping her eyes out for great activities and events she can bring back to the home for
residents to enjoy.
