I started working in Atfield house in 2004 as a Carer, and was eventually promoted to General Nurse, Head of Unit and, finally, Deputy Manager. I consider Atfield to be one of the most welcoming and friendly homes. My role is to ensure that all residents receive the highest standard of care and always take into account personal wishes and requirements. I focus on delivering person-centred care to support residents in understanding the aging process, to maximize their independence, and create a safe, homely environment for everyone in the home. I offer support and guidance to all Nurses and Carers and work closely with external healthcare professionals.

I started working for Barchester Healthcare at Atfield house in November 2014 as a Registered Nurse. I have a degree in Nursing and a masters in Management of Health and Social Services. I came here not knowing what to expect and I fell in love with the place and the people. I find it very rewarding to be a part of residents' lives and to help improve it. I've met some wonderful people and learnt a lot from them. Overall, I feel grateful for being here.
