Subin Sebastian
Welcome to Atfield House's website! My name is Subin and I am the General Manager here at the home.
I have worked for Barchester since 2019 and in that time I have been able to learn, develop and share my skill set to enhance the lives of the people we look after.
I am passionate about the lives of our older generation and believe we learn from our resident's every day and we encourage each of our residents to live life to the fullest.
Here at Atfield House we pride ourselves on the dementia care that we deliver and prove that people really can live well with dementia. We are a pivotal part of our local community hosting events and functions for all to enjoy.
I look forward to seeing you in the home shortly, for a cup of tea and a slice of home made cake (or two!)
Carmen Bilbie
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.
