Meet the Awel-Y-Mor Care Home Team

Michael O Reilly joined Barchester Healthcare in April 2017 and is the Responsible Individual (RI) for all of our Welsh services. As RI, Michael visits all Welsh services at least every three months and works closely with the home management team and regulators to ensure that the highest quality of care is offered. Michael is very proud to be part of the team.

Michael holds the position as General Counsel and Director of Quality, Risk and Compliance as well as the Company Secretary for Barchester.

I have been with Awel Y Mor for 6 years.  I started working here as a carer and have since completed my professional training and qualified as an RGN.  I have been fortunate to be able to continue my career progression and I am now proud to be a Head of Unit.  

Awel-Y-Mor's activities team consists of three Activities Coordinators, each having a specialist unique role within the group, including work in the multi-sensory concept, as well as organising days out, trips to sporting events and pop concerts, and arranging themed days. Jo has been with us for over ten years, beginning her Barchester career as a Carer, and Julie joined us in 2018.

David has worked for the home for over 25 years, mainly as the Head Chef – and is now the Head of Maintenance.

It is his job to ensure that equipment in the home is maintained to a high standard and kept in full working order

I am a qualified Laughter Yoga Therapist and also assist with Music Therapy within the home.  My role is lots of fun and it is truly rewarding to see our residents' quality of life improved through the services I provide. 

This is my 3rd Barchester home and that I have worked at Awel-Y-Mor since 2002.

Our Head Chef Andy White has gained a wealth of knowledge & experience working in the hospitality sector for many years.

Andy has been head chef with Barchester Healthcare for 14 years, where in 2012 he won “Gold Award” in catering for care forum Wales. Also in the same year Andy was 3^rd place winner representing the Welsh region in the Barchester Chef of the year competition.

Tracey has worked at Awel Y Mor since November 2005, and has completed NVQ level 3 in Customer Service. Nothing is too much trouble for her, and she is a very much liked and respected member of the team.

I provide physiotherapy treatment for residents at Awel-Y-Mor with the help of our therapy assistant, Marlene. We work with residents to help them achieve their goals and reach their full potential. I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2012 and gained my master's in 2017. I have worked previously in the NHS.
