Care homes and elderly care from Barchester Healthcare

Fiona Gough

General Manager

Welcome to Adlington Manor, my name is Fiona and I am the General Manager here.

I have a wide and varied career in Nursing, including a short service commission in the Queen Alexander Royal Army Nursing Corps. I spent many years in health service in a variety of roles, including Theatre manager, Directorate Manager and Modern Matron. I moved into the care sector in 2010 and have worked as a General Manager during that time. I joined Barchester in February 2015.

Tanya Stubbs

Finance Administrator

Tanya has worked at Adlington Manor for over 25 years and is responsible for supporting staff, relatives and families with the administration and financial running of the home. Tanya works closely with the General Manager to ensure that every task is completed for the efficient running of the home.

Tanya is the heartbeat of the administration team, helping create the amazing homely atmosphere as soon as you enter the home.

With a background as a trained chef with various City & Guild qualifications in catering, Tanya progressed in the company to attain a Degree in Business Management.

Cath Ritchie

Deputy Manager

I qualified as a Registered Mental Health Nurse in 2006 with 11 years previous experience as a Care Assistant. I began my career with Barchester Healthcare as a RMN, progressed to Unit Manager and am currently the Deputy Manager at Adlington Manor Care Home. My role is to support the General Manager in planning, directing and delivering a high standard of person-centred care along with the day to day running of the home. I live locally with my family and enjoy walking and a good bottle of red wine.

Housekeeping

Housekeeping Team

Head Housekeeper, Heather Finlow, leads the housekeeping team here at Adlington Manor, who have almost 50 years combined experience.

Heather and her team are responsible for maintaining Barchester’s high standards of cleanliness & tidiness, whilst still keeping a homely atmosphere in a building full of character.

She also oversees the smooth running of a full laundry service for those we support.

Mike Nichols

Head Chef

Working alongside my team of chefs & hosts, I feel working with the other teams in Adlington we can unite both our units, achieving the same vision, and going from strength to strength as one group.

'Without each other we create another, but with each other, we remove another'.

Daily challenges affect us all here at Adlington, but by working together, we take these challenges in our stride and march forwards.

We know there is no 'I' in team, but we want to put the 'me' into meeting all our residents and their families.
