Meet the Ashlar House Care Home Team

Hi, my name is Villah and I am the Senior Night Nurse. 

I have been at Ashlar House since 2016 and I love it here. I am in charge of the wonderful night team, we take care of all the residents during the evenings through to morning. My team is very dedicated and I am proud of the work they do.

Hi, my name is Paul and I am one the nurses here. 

As a nurse my focus is on the clinical wellbeing of our residents, ensuring they are supported in all aspects of medical care, but we are also here to support the residents to enjoy life. Each resident is thoroughly assessed to ensure our team can meet their every care need they have before we invite the family to assist us to develop a individualised care plan.

Drop in to learn more about our home and our team. 

I'm Rommel and I'm the Head Chef at Ashlar House. 

Head Chef is the best job in the world and Ashlar House is the best care home in the world, so I am able to enjoy every day. As Head Chef I lead the kitchen team to provide delicious and nutritious meals, as well as a tasty array of cakes each day! 

I meet with all new residents to find out what they like and dislike, and I also work closely with the care teams to ensure I am supporting the resident's health, diet and nutrition on an individual basis. 

At mealtimes you will find me in the dining rooms, chatting with residents and managing the dining experience. I am always interested in feedback and looking to exceed resident expectations. I particularly love supporting the Activities Team with food related activities, especially Pudding Club!

Kristina has been at Ashlar House since 2010. She is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and presentation of the home. Kristina is extremely artistic, and you will see much of her handiwork as you walk around the building. 

 A firm favourite of the residents here, Kristina always has time for a chat and to help a resident arrange their room just the way they like it.

Hello, I'm Natasha and I am one of the Care Practitioners. 

I have been working as a Care Practitioner at Ashlar House since 2013 and it gets better every year. The care team here is very talented and hard working, we are all aiming to provide the sort of care that we would want our own family to enjoy. 

Working alongside passionate carers and nurses each week is a privilege and this is a very happy home.

Hello, my name is Ellie. I've been at Ashlar House for a while now as a care assistant and I enjoy providing the highest quality of care to our residents. I love being a carer and looking after the elderly, we can learn so much from them, it is really rewarding.

I enjoy my work interacting with the residents and working hard towards ensuring everyone enjoys as much life enrichment as possible.

Hi, my name is Charlie and I am a healthcare assistant. 

Our team works to support the residents with day to day activity, helping everyone to enjoy the beautiful home and our great activities. As part of the care team, I am able to get to know the residents really well and love learning about their lives and experiences. 

Hi, I'm Ramesh. My passion lies in providing person-centred care, ensuring each individual's unique needs are met with empathy and understanding. I find immense fulfilment in accompanying others on their journey through their later years, cherishing every story and memory shared with me.

Beyond the rewarding realm of caregiving, I find solace in the simple joys of life. Whether it's strolling along the seaside with my loyal companion or indulging in the tranquillity of assembling jigsaw puzzles, I relish every moment spent unwinding.

I'm thrilled to be part of the Barchester family, dedicated to enriching the lives of those we care for with warmth, respect, and dignity.

Hello, my name is Peace and I am one of the nurses here at Ashlar House.

We have a beautiful home with a fantastic team here. I am passionate about elder care and and the team and I are always focused on providing the best support possible for all the residents living at Ashlar House. Working alongside families to get to know each resident and their preferences is so important and we take great pride in doing this well at our home. 

As the Community Engagement Lead and Lifestyle Coordinator, I will be spending time with each resident and their loved ones to build a detailed picture of each individual, so that each person’s stay with us is as meaningful as possible.  Although I have been working within this field for many years, thanks to the uniqueness of each resident, I am always enjoying new experiences in my role. My goal is to create an activities programme that caters to the capabilities of residents, including, but not limited to, individual and group activity. 

I've spent the past few years forging strong relationships within the community and developing a pool of talented individuals that can support our in-house team to bring out the best in those we care for.

As we never stop growing and changing, it is important that we maintain an up-to-date Getting To Know Me booklet. With your help, the activities scheduled for your loved ones will be as relevant and enjoyable as possible.
I’m very much looking forward to working with all of you.
