Raciel Sagun
I am extremely passionate in my aim that Alice Grange is to become the best care home in Suffolk, and I believe we will achieve this by delivering the very best in person-centred care.
I qualified as a nurse in the Philippines in 1995 and worked as a critical care nurse in Saudi Arabia.
My career in management started fourteen years ago and I am delighted to work with the residents, their families and staff here at Alice Grange.
My door is always open to discuss the care we provide so please drop in for a cup of tea.

Rashmi Nair
I worked as a carer from 2010 and then qualified as an RGN in 2013. I have always worked in Dementia Care through a number of different settings including hospitals and other care homes.
I started working at Alice Grange in 2015 and I love it here. Barchester care homes have much better facilities and people than many other settings. The management and staff here work really well together and it means this is a brilliant home to work in.
I am now privileged to be part of the team on our Memory Lane community, where we strive to make sure that each resident feels at home and that each family knows their loved one is being looked after by truly caring professionals.
