Anish Abraham

Anish Abraham

General Manager

Hello, my name is Anish and I am very pleased to welcome you to our website.

I am very proud of our hard-working team and the fantastic level of person centred care that we offer our residents and loved ones here at The Cedars.

We have a beautiful environment and are fortunate to be located in stunning grounds with the New Forest nearby. We ensure that our hospitality services are second to none and offer a rich and varied life enrichment programme.

I qualified as a nurse in 2009. I started my career back home in India for few years before coming to the UK in 2013. I quickly found my passion for elderly care and felt a great sense of achievement when helping others live to their best potential.

I look forward to meeting you soon and welcoming you to our beautiful home.

Michelle Collins

Michelle Collins

Deputy Manager

My name is Michelle. I started my nursing career slightly later in life. I studied at Bournemouth University and after qualifying went to work in Bournemouth Hospital on the stroke unit. I became a specialist stroke assessor nurse before stepping out into nursing homes. I have progressed from a senior nurse, to deputy, to clinical manager and general manager before joining Barchester. I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of nursing and love that you are helping someone at their most vulnerable have the most fulfilling life possible whilst supporting all of their needs where they require it. I am especially passionate about end-of-life care and ensuring that the person and their family have the support and comfort that they require at what can be a very upsetting and distressing time for all.

Edi Oko

Edi Oko

Clinical Lead

I am a compassionate healthcare professional with an MSc in pre-registration nursing (Adult Health) and about a decade’s experience in the healthcare profession.  What I value most in my work is making a meaningful difference in the lives of residents, collaborating within a supportive team and finding purpose in providing compassionate care within a stable and fulfilling career.

Outside of my professional life, I prioritise personal growth and stress relief through meditations and I’m currently incorporating running into my routine.  I also enjoy reading, learning new skills, watching discovery and documentary films and travelling.

Administrator

Hi, I have been working in administration for over 10 years. I joined Cedars as an Administration Assistant in February 2022, and progressed to Administrator in July 2022, where I now lead a team of 3 lovely ladies. I am thoroughly enjoying leading such a strong team. Tasks related to administration are often important to keeping a business running efficiently. So, having the responsibility to complete tasks on time and in a quality manner without much oversight is crucial and really rewarding for me personally. Being in administration has many other benefits - I interact on a daily basis with residents, families, staff and the local community which can be really fun.

In my spare time I love looking after my menagerie of animals, horse riding, and mostly just being outdoors! I also love spending quality time with my two children, who like to keep me on my toes!

I am also the South Region Divisional Winner of Home Administrator of the Year!

Activities Assistant & Dementia Champion

Hello. I started working for Cedars at the beginning of 2019. I have been caring for the elderly community since I was 16 years old and decided to pursue a career in Cedars where I am an Activities Assistant. I love learning about dementia and how I can benefit those diagnosed and this led to me being a trained Dementia champion for the home. 

I implement many different ideas, improving the quality of care for our residents. My focus is inclusion and making sure all residents are included in everything, not only to enable them to feel independent and purposeful but also so that they are not inadvertently excluded by others.

When I am not at work, I enjoy Arts and Crafts, Vintage/Antique Fairs, Indian head massage and Reiki.
