Meet the Archview Lodge Care Home Team

I was inspired to become a nurse by my mother, who was also a nurse at Archview Lodge many years ago.

I successfully joined Archview as a Nurse with the support of the staff. I can truly say that I was mentored well by the Senior Nurse and have developed many skills attributed to high quality care. I am now proud to be the Deputy Home Manager after a period leading the ground floor unit and I strive to inspire others to become positive leaders who deliver a high standard of care to residents.

Alexis has worked at Archview for many years. She is originally from Guyane in the Caribbean, and now lives locally with her husband and 2 children. Alex was nominated for and won the 'Nurse of the Year' award at the National Care Awards.

Hi, my name is Diane and  I am Head of Activities here at Archview.  I have worked in the homes since 2009.

I strongly believe in creating moments for our residents and embracing their individuality with tailor made activities, whilst remaining person centred and respecting resident’s preferences. Every day I like to ensure the residents on memory lane can enjoy themselves and have a good time whilst forming bonds with each other and the staff around them.

Outside of work,  I have a 23 years old son and a wee dog called Hugo and my ambition is to make people smile and be happy.

Hi, My name is Ahmett, I am the Chef here at Archview.  I am originally from Turkey. I am married with two teenage children and I joined Barchester in June 2005 shortly after I arrived in Scotland.

My first role was a kitchen porter and I completed my training at the Chef’s Academy in 2-years.  I later became a trainer for the Chef’s Academy and trained many chefs. 

Taking care of nutrition, modified diets and creating meals which are delicious and appetising for our residents is always my first priority. I love to get our residents involved with food and we enjoy a Chef’s afternoon together making scones, pizzas, bread and its always the residents choice each time.  Getting involved with the activities is great and I enjoy the laughter it brings, our residents always make me smile.

I have been at Archview Lodge since May 2018. I have been in the property maintenance industry for over 25 years. My role here is to ensure that the property and grounds are maintained to a high standard. An equally important part of my role is the very good relationship I have with the residents, relatives and the  staff.
